PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Series 3000 100% Synthetic 5W-30 Diesel Oil (HDD) delivers extraordinary lubrication in
both diesel and gasoline engines found in commercial, fleet and personal vehicles. By combining
the industry’s premier synthetic technology with AMSOIL premium additives, AMSOIL HDD exceeds
the higher performance demands of modern engines. It withstands the stress of higher heat, higher
acid levels and excessive soot loading found in EGR-equipped engines. AMSOIL Series 3000
Synthetic 5W-30 Diesel Oil consistently outperforms conventional and synthetic diesel oils for long-
lasting performance and protection.

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.

Extends Drain Intervals
AMSOIL HDD can extend drain intervals far beyond those recommended for conventional oils. Its
unique synthetic formulation and long drain additive system deliver the best possible engine
protection, cleanliness and performance over extended drain intervals, reducing vehicle
maintenance and waste oil disposal costs.

Maximizes Fuel Economy
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-30 Heavy Duty Diesel Oil is energy efficient for reduced fuel costs. Its low
viscosity minimizes “drag” associated with high viscosity oils, allowing the engine to operate more
freely, maximizing power and fuel economy.

Unsurpassed Protection Against Engine Wear
In the Four-Ball Wear Test (ASTM D-4172B) AMSOIL HDD demonstrated better anti-wear
performance than competitive petroleum and synthetic oils. Even under high temperatures and
pressures, its superior film strength and anti-wear additives help prevent metal-to-metal contact.
AMSOIL HDD reduces ring wear, cylinder bore polishing, oil consumption and valve train wear for
improved engine life and lower maintenance costs.

Controls Soot Thickening and Wear
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-30 Heavy Duty Diesel Oil is heavily fortified with detergent/dispersant
additives and is naturally resistant to soot. It keeps soot particles suspended independently,
preventing them from attaching together to form larger, wear-causing particles. Viscosity increase
is minimized and soot related wear is controlled.
Reduces Oil Consumption and Emissions
AMSOIL HDD loses only 7.6% of its mass to high
temperature volatility (evaporation) in the NOACK
test, outperforming all conventional oils. Because
less oil vapor passes into the combustion chamber,
oil consumption and emissions are reduced.
Additionally, lower volatility helps AMSOIL HDD
retain its viscosity after high temperature service for
continued dependable protection and excellent fuel
economy.

Excels in Extreme Temperatures
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-30 Heavy Duty Diesel Oil
resists thermal (heat) breakdown, oxidation and
sludge formation better than conventional oils. And
unlike conventional petroleum oils, AMSOIL HDD
contains no wax. It stays fluid down to -50°C (-58°F)
for improved cold temperature oil flow, reduced
bearing wear and easier starting.

APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-30 Heavy Duty Diesel Oil is recommended for diesel engines and other
API SL, SJ, SH . . . or ACEA A3.

• API CI-4+, CF, CF-2, SL • ACEA A3/B3, E2, E3, E5 • Global DHD-1 • JASO DH-1 • Mack EO-M+,
EO-N Premium Plus ’03 • DDC Power Guard 93K214 • Caterpillar ECF-1-a, ECF-2 • Cummins
CES 20071, 20072, 20076, 20077, 20078 • Volvo VDS-2, VDS-3 • MB 228.1, 228.3, 229.1 • MAN
271/3275 • MTU Type 2

AMSOIL HDD 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 Synthetic 5W-30 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 or
Gasoline 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 Ea™ full flow oil filter 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.

• Pre-2007 EGR equipped or low emission diesels – extend drain intervals based on oil analysis
or use the OEM* recommended interval.

• Replace Donaldson Endurance™ or AMSOIL Ea™ 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.

*OEM = Original Equipment Manufacturer

(1) Modifications and Alterations – Engines operating under modified conditions are excluded
from extended drain recommendations. Examples include the use of performance computer
chips; non-OEM approved exhaust, fuel or air induction systems and the use of fuels other than
those recommended for normal operation by the manufacturer.

(2) Mechanically sound engines are in good working condition and do not, for example, leak oil or
consume excessive amounts, are not worn out, do not overheat, do not leak anti-freeze and have
properly working emission control systems. AMSOIL recommends repairing malfunctioning
engines prior to the installation of AMSOIL synthetic oils.

(3) Personal vehicles frequently traveling greater than 10 miles (16km) at a time and not
operating under severe service.

(4) Gasoline Engine Severe Service defined as turbo/supercharged engines, commercial or fleet
vehicles, excessive engine idling, first and subsequent use of AMSOIL engine oil in vehicles with
over 100,000 miles, daily short trip driving less than 10 miles (16 km), frequent towing, plowing,
hauling or dusty condition driving.

Diesel Engine Severe Service defined as extensive engine idling, daily short trip driving less than
10 miles (16 km), frequent towing, plowing, hauling or dusty condition driving.

AMSOIL Ea™ 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 AMSOIL Ea™ or Donaldson Endurance™ oil filters. Oil Analyzers Inc.,
715-395-0222, is a division of AMSOIL that provides cost effective, quality oil analysis services.
