Product Code: ACD
| 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 petrol 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 SDF full flow oil filter or Donaldson
Endurance™ ELF 7349 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 SDF 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.
Petrol Engine Service
• In petrol 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
SDF 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 SDF 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 SDF or Donaldson Endurance oil filters.
AMSOIL SDF 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 SDF or Donaldson Endurance oil filters.
AMSOIL by-pass oil
filters are specialized for the removal of small, wear-causing dirt particles,
thereby extending engine life. AMSOIL encourages using an AMSOIL by-pass filter
system for maximum engine and oil life.
