Q&A on Amsoil's new updates
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 filters (DPF).
Extended Drain Intervals
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 filters (DPF).
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 confirms that AMSOIL 5W-40 Diesel Oil provides up to 3 percent better fuel economy than conventional 15W-40 diesel oils.

Reduced Oil Consumption & 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.
Excels in Extreme Temperatures
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-40 Premium Diesel Oil resists thermal (heat) breakdown, oxidation and sludge formation better than conventional petroleum oils. And unlike conventional oils, AMSOIL 5W-40 contains no wax. It stays fluid in cold temperatures for improved oil flow, reduced bearing wear and easier starting.
I recent Cummins ISX customer praised AMSOIL DEO 5W40 for solving his high temperature oil pressure loss issues he had previously had with using Delo CJ4 rated diesel. At only 8000 miles at operating temps he reports 10psi of oil pressure/. With AMSOIL he reaches 50,000 miles and still seeing max oil pressure at temps which would cook the Delo.
AMSOIL is really getting on top of the CJ4 oil issues with aggressive additive formulations. The added costs are offset with fuel savings. The same owner above says the savings from longer life and less worry alone makes the switch to AMSOIL worth it!
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 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.
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 severe and normal 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.

Same attributes as the above 5W40 except for this added information.
Extended Drain Performance
AMSOIL Premium 15W-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 15W-40 Diesel Oil provides
maximum protection for up to 3X the OEM-recommended drain interval, and further with oil analysis.
Superior Shear Stability, Reduced Oil Consumption
AMSOIL Synthetic 15W-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 continued dependable protection.
Ideal for Fleets
AMSOIL Premium 15W-40 Diesel Oil reduces operating costs through extended drain intervals. It is engineered for a wide range of applications, allowing fleet operators to consolidate engine oil inventories in mixed fleets. In addition, it reduces downtime through extended drain intervals and improved equipment protection.
