PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic 15W-40 Diesel Oil (DME) 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 15W-40 Diesel Oil
exceeds the higher performance demands of modern
engines. It withstands the stress of heat, soot and
acids to help prevent deposits, corrosion and wear.
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 15W-40 Diesel Oil is a low-sulfated ash
formulation that provides excellent performance in
low-emission diesel engines. It is compatible with all
exhaust treatment devices and is designed to extend the
service life of diesel particulate filters (DPF).
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
longdrain 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.
Controls Soot-Thickening and
Wear
The advanced synthetic base oils in AMSOIL 15W-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.
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.

APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Premium CJ-4 Synthetic 15W-40 Diesel Oil is
recommended for diesel engines and, where appropriate,
gasoline engines requiring any of the following
specifications:
• SAE 15W-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

• Global DHD-1
• Renault RLD-3
COMPATIBILITY
AMSOIL Synthetic 15W-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 15W-40 Diesel Oil (DME)
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.
AMSOIL
Ea By-pass oil filters are
specialized for the removal of small, wear-causing dirt
particles, thereby extending engine life. AMSOIL
encourages using an AMSOIL Ea By-pass filter system for
maximum engine and oil life.
