PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30/SAE 30 Diesel Oil (ACD) is formulated
with premium synthetic base oils that exceed both 10W-30
multi-grade and SAE 30 straight-grade viscosity requirements for
outstanding performance in modern and older diesel engines.
Unlike conventional SAE 30 motor oils, AMSOIL ACD has a
naturally high viscosity index and does not contain paraffin
(wax). It has a -36°F pour point and qualifies for SAE 10W,
making it an “all season” multi-grade lubricant with a wide
operating temperature range. AMSOIL ACD is formulated without
viscosity index improvers (VI). This shear stable formulation
stops viscosity loss and associated bearing and cylinder bore
wear. AMSOIL ACD contains premium additives with a high 12 TBN
to neutralize acids from blow-by, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR)
and high sulfur diesel fuels. It protects against damaging
piston deposits, ring sticking and sludge.
AMSOIL, the leader in automotive synthetic
lubrication, produced the world’s first API qualified synthetic
motor oil back in 1972. Trust the extensive experience of AMSOIL
The First in Synthetics® to do the
best job protecting your equipment.
APPLICATIONS
Where these viscosity grades are specified, AMSOIL Synthetic
10W-30/SAE 30 Diesel Oil (ACD) provides outstanding performance
as a straight-grade SAE 30 for older two- and four-stroke
diesels and as a multi-grade SAE 10W-30 in modern four-stroke
diesels as well as gasoline engines. AMSOIL ACD is ideal for use
in a wide variety of light and heavy-duty applications,
including agriculture, off-road construction, trucking, mining,
industrial (pumps and generators) and personal automotive or
commercial transportation. It is recommended for use with low or
high sulfur diesel fuels in standard, turbocharged or
supercharged engines, including modern low emission diesels such
as those equipped with EGR systems.
• SAE 10W-30 performance
without VI improvers
• Cost-effective replacement for conventional oils
• Excellent shear stability
• Outstanding wear protection
• Superior protection over a broad range of operating
temperatures
• Extended service life with oil analysis

MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL ACD is compatible with conventional and synthetic motor
oils, however, mixing AMSOIL ACD with other oils will shorten
the oil life expectancy and reduce the performance benefits.
AMSOIL does not support extended drain intervals where AMSOIL
ACD has been mixed with another product.
Aftermarket additives are not
recommended for use with AMSOIL ACD.
SERVICE LIFE
AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy Duty Diesel Oil is recommended for
extended drain intervals in unmodified(1), mechanically sound(2)
vehicles or equipment as follows:
Personal Light Truck
Diesel Engine Service
• Normal Service(3) — Up to
25,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first, or longer
based on oil analysis.
• Severe Service(4) — Up to
15,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first, or longer
based on oil analysis.
• Replace AMSOIL Ea™ full
flow oil filter at the time of oil change up to 25,000
miles (other brands at standard OEM* intervals).
Commercial or Fleet
Vehicles, Long-Haul Trucks, Marine Craft, RV, Off-Road Equipment
• Non-EGR
equipped diesels — extend drain intervals up
to two times (2X) the OEM* recommended drain interval or one
year, whichever comes first, or longer based on oil
analysis.
• EGR equipped or
low emission diesels — extend drain intervals
based on oil analysis or use the OEM* recommended interval.
• Replace Donaldson
Endurance™ or AMSOIL Ea™ full flow oil filters at the
time of oil change up to two times (2X) longer than the
OEM* standard interval, not to exceed 60,000 miles in
long-haul trucks.
Gasoline Engine Service
• In gasoline engines, oil
drain intervals may be extended up to two times (2X) the
OEM* recommended drain interval (not to exceed 15,000 miles
without oil analysis) or one year, whichever comes first.
Replace AMSOIL Ea™ full flow filter at the time of oil
change up to 25,000 miles. Replace other brand oil filters
at standard OEM* intervals.
*OEM = Original Equipment
Manufacturer
(1) Where the engine or operating
conditions have been modified from the original manufacturers'
design, no oil change interval recommendation is made. Oil
change intervals are at the owner's discretion. Examples include
the use of performance computer chips; modified exhaust, fuel or
air induction systems and the use of fuels other than those
recommended for normal operation by the manufacturers.
(2) Engines are in good working
condition and within the factory design settings. Mechanically
sound engines, for example, do not leak oil or consume excessive
amounts, are not worn out, do not overheat, do not have internal
or external anti-freeze leaks and have a properly working
emission control system. AMSOIL recommends repairs be made to
malfunctioning engines prior to the installation of AMSOIL
synthetic oils.
(3) Personal transportation
vehicles frequently traveling greater than 10 miles (16 km) at a
time and not operating under severe service.
(4) Extensive engine idling,
daily short trip driving less than 10 miles (16 km), frequent
towing, plowing or hauling heavy loads and frequent driving in
dusty conditions. AMSOIL Ea™ and Donaldson Endurance™ full flow
oil filters are designed for extended drain intervals. They stop
smaller particles, have less restriction and last longer than
regular filters. For best performance, use AMSOIL Ea or
Donaldson Endurance oil filters.

Ea
By-pass oil filters are
specialized for the removal of small, wear-causing dirt
particles, thereby extending engine life. AMSOIL encourages
using an AMSOIL Ea By-pass filter system for maximum engine and
oil life.
