AMSOIL introduced two 100 percent synthetic diesel oils engineered to meet the demands of diesel engines in smaller, half-ton pickups and other passenger vehicles. Available in 0W-20 and 5W-30 viscosities, AMSOIL 100% Synthetic Diesel Oil provides protection and performance with up to six times better wear protection than required by a leading industry standard1, the company says.
AMSOIL 100% Synthetic Diesel Oil delivers protection during heavy use and extreme operating temperatures. It protects turbochargers and emissions systems, helping to extend engine life. AMSOIL 100% Synthetic Diesel Oil minimizes oil consumption while providing engine cleanliness. It helps smaller diesel engines maintain power and fuel efficiency while reducing maintenance costs and downtime.
AMSOIL 100% Synthetic Diesel Oil is recommended for the drain intervals specified by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM). Drain intervals may be extended beyond the OEM-recommended interval with oil analysis. It is specifically engineered for use in smaller American diesel pickups, vans, cars, and SUVs that require any of the following specifications:
0W-20: GM dexosD
5W-30: GM dexosD, dexos2, Chrysler MS-11106, Ford WSS-M2C214-B1, ACEA C3
Neither oil is suitable for use in applications that require an API CK-4 (or prior) specification.
Based on third-party testing in the OM646LA cam wear test using 0W-20 as worst-case representation.
