Premium Protection for Severe-Service Diesels

AMSOIL 15W-40 Synthetic Heavy Duty Diesel & Marine Motor Oil is a premium diesel oil that provides excellent performance in all types of diesel engines without exhaust aftertreatment systems, where highly effective control of wear and deposits is vital. Engineered with heavy-duty dispersant/detergent additives, its Total Base Number (TBN) of 12 neutralizes acids and controls soot thickening from exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and blow-by to protect against corrosion, cylinder bore polishing (wear), varnish and sludge deposits. AMSOIL 15W-40 Diesel Oil resists heat and breakdown better than conventional petroleum oils for long-lasting performance and protection.

Not for use with engines equipped with exhaust aftertreatment systems, including DPF and SCR.

Try Signature Series Max-Duty 15W-40 for a serious upgrade.

Extends Drain Intervals

AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy Duty Diesel & Marine Motor Oil can extend drain intervals far beyond those recommended for conventional petroleum oils. Its unique synthetic formulation and long-drain additive chemistry deliver maximum engine protection, cleanliness and performance over extended drain intervals, reducing vehicle maintenance and waste-oil disposal costs.

Controls Soot and Wear

AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy Duty Diesel & Marine Motor Oil is heavily fortified with detergent/dispersant additives and is naturally resistant to engine soot. It is designed to keep soot particles suspended independently and prevent them from aggregating to form larger, wear-causing particles. Viscosity increase is minimized and soot related wear is reduced.

Reduces Oil Consumption and Emissions

AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy Duty Diesel & Marine Motor Oil has lower volatility than conventional petroleum oils. Oil consumption and emissions are minimized due to less vapor passing into the combustion chamber. Lower volatility helps AMSOIL 15W-40 Diesel Oil retain its viscosity after high-temperature service for continued dependable protection.

Excellent Cold-Flow Properties

AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy Duty Diesel & Marine Motor Oil eases cold-weather starting and provides vital startup lubrication to help prevent engine wear. It outperforms conventional 15W-40 petroleum oils and minimizes the impact of cold-weather operation.

Running hard

It can be -42F winter in northern Ontario or 110F summer in south Texas. I am running this oil in my CAT 3406E since 2006. Changing it at 60K miles. Engine has 3 million miles on and it was rebuilt once since 1996. DO I HAVE TO SAY MORE? Thank you Amsoil!
