The Confidence to Compete, The Protection to Win

AMSOIL DOMINATOR® 20W-50 Competition Diesel Oil is designed for professionals and enthusiasts who want a step up in diesel protection. It is specifically designed for high-horsepower diesel engines and delivers the benefits most important to diesel competitors, including robust durability, outstanding bearing protection and the ability to withstand the extreme pressures and temperatures common to diesel competition. Whether competing in sled pulls, drag races or dyno challenges, competitors using DOMINATOR Competition Diesel Oil enjoy the confidence and security that come with providing their diesel trucks maximum protection and performance.

Wear Protection

Racing and high-performance diesel engines are modified to deliver maximum horsepower and torque. Their powerful designs create shearing forces that can cause oils to lose viscosity, leaving bearings, pistons and other components vulnerable to wear and failure. DOMINATOR 20W-50 Competition Diesel Oil delivers 50 percent more film thickness to withstand high cylinder pressures and protect against wear (compared to the 3.5cP HTHS limit for SAE 15W-40). It is heavily fortified with zinc and phosphorus anti-wear additives to provide additional protection against scuffing and wear in severe conditions.

Viscosity Control

High-horsepower diesel engines push a lot of fuel, leading to fuel dilution. Fuel reduces the oil’s viscosity. As the oil becomes thinner, it compromises the lubrication of critical components, increasing wear. DOMINATOR Competition Diesel Oil’s robust formulation helps offset the damaging effects of fuel dilution by maintaining its protective viscosity longer.

Withstands Turbocharger Heat

Over time, turbos can suffer reduced performance or catastrophic failure. DOMINATOR Competition Diesel Oil is designed with an extremely durable 20W-50synthetic formulation that contains maximum levels of oxidation-inhibitor additives to resist harmful oxidation and provide exceptional resistance to deposit formation, preserving turbocharger performance and life.

COMPATIBILITY

DOMINATOR 20W-50 Competition Diesel Oil is compatible with other conventional and synthetic engine oils. Mixing AMSOIL diesel oils with other oils, however, will shorten the oil’s life expectancy and reduce its performance benefits. AMSOIL does not support extended drain intervals where oils have been mixed.

Aftermarket oil additives are not recommended for use with AMSOIL synthetic diesel oils.
