PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-40 Diesel Oil (DEO) is the premium choice
for API CJ-4 emission-quality diesel oil required by model-year
2007 and newer diesel engines. It delivers extraordinary
lubrication in diesel engines found in commercial, fleet and
personal vehicles. Built with the latest additive and synthetic
base oil technology, AMSOIL Premium Synthetic 5W-40 Diesel Oil
exceeds the higher performance demands of modern engines. It
withstands the stress of heat, soot and acids to help prevent
deposits, wear and corrosion. AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-40 is wax-free
with a broad viscosity range to provide exceptional cold-weather
starting and high temperature protection. It resists breakdown
and offers maximum fuel efficiency over extended drain
intervals.
AMSOIL, the leader in automotive synthetic
lubrication, produced the world’s first API-qualified synthetic
motor oil in 1972. Trust the extensive experience of AMSOIL, The
First in Synthetics,® to do the best job protecting your engine.
Exceeds Emission System Requirements
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-40 Diesel Oil is a low-sulfated ash
formulation that exceeds the requirements for low-emission
quality diesel oil. It is compatible with all exhaust treatment
devices and is designed to extend the service life of diesel
particulate fi lters (DPF).
Extended Drain Performance
AMSOIL Premium 5W-40 Diesel Oil can extend drain intervals far
beyond those recommended for conventional petroleum oils. Its
unique synthetic formulation and long-drain additive system
(10.4 TBN) deliver superior engine protection, cleanliness and
performance over extended drain intervals. AMSOIL Synthetic
5W-40 Diesel Oil provides
maximum protection for up to 3X the OEM-recommended drain
interval, even further with oil analysis.
Improves Fuel Economy
The advanced synthetic technology used to engineer AMSOIL
Premium 5W-40 Diesel Oil enhances viscosity properties and is
proven to deliver better fuel economy. In fact, the
Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Federal Test Procedure
confi rms that AMSOIL 5W-40 Diesel Oil provides up to 3 percent
better fuel economy than conventional 15W-40 diesel oils. At a
mix of 55 percent city/45 percent highway driving, the average
improvement is 1.6 percent and at straight highway driving the
average improvement is 1.25 percent.

Reduces Oil Consumption and Emissions
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-40 Diesel Oil has lower volatility
(burn-off) than conventional petroleum oils. Because less oil
vapor passes into the combustion chamber, oil consumption and
emissions are reduced. Lower volatility helps AMSOIL Premium
Diesel Oil retain its viscosity after high-temperature service
for dependable protection and excellent fuel economy.
Controls Soot-Thickening and Wear
The advanced synthetic base oils in AMSOIL 5W-40 Diesel Oil are
naturally resistant to soot contamination. That, along with a
heavy fortification of detergent/dispersant additives, keeps
soot particles suspended independently, helping prevent the
formation of larger wear-causing particles. Viscosity increase
is minimized and soot-related wear is controlled.
APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Premium CJ-4 Synthetic 5W-40 Diesel Oil is recommended
for diesel engines and, where appropriate, gasoline engines
requiring any of the following specifications:
• SAE 5W-40 • API CJ-4, CI-4+, CF, SM
• ACEA E7, E9 • Mack EO-O Premium Plus
• DDC Power Guard 93K218
• Caterpillar ECF-3, ECF-2 • Cummins 20081
• Volvo VDS-4 • MB 228.31 • MTU Type I & II
• MAN 3275 • JASO DH-2 • Global DHD-1
• Renault RLD-3
COMPATIBILITY
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-40 Diesel Oil is compatible with
conventional and synthetic motor oils. Mixing AMSOIL motor oils
with other oils, however, will shorten the oil life expectancy
and reduce the performance benefits. AMSOIL does not support
extended drain intervals where oils have been mixed. Aftermarket
oil additives are not recommended for
use with AMSOIL motor oils.
SERVICE LIFE
AMSOIL Premium API CJ-4 Synthetic 5W-40 Diesel Oil (DEO) is
recommended for extended drain intervals in engines that are
unmodified and in good operating condition:
Diesel Engine Service
- Three times (3X) OEM* recommendation, not
to exceed 50,000 miles/600 hours or one year, whichever
comes first. Drain intervals may be extended further with
oil analysis.
- 2007-2009 Caterpillar C13, C15 on-highway
engines must follow OEM drain interval.
- 2007-2010 Dodge 6.7L, Ford 6.4L, GM 6.6L
LMM light duty diesel pickups must follow OEM drain
interval. Drain intervals can be extended further with oil
analysis.
Gasoline Engine Service
- Two times (2X) OEM* recommendation, not
to exceed 15,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first.
*Operating conditions and drain intervals for
normal and severe service are defined by the OEM. Refer to your
owner’s manual.
Note:
Extended drain intervals are not recommended when using biofuels
containing >10% ethanol or 5% biodiesel (B5). Follow OEM drain
intervals or extend drain intervals with oil analysis.
