PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Blend 15W-40 Heavy Duty Motor Oil (PCO)
features a dual-base of premium synthetic and hydroprocessed
base oils in formulation with proven high-quality anti-wear
additives. This multi-use oil is designed for both
heavy-duty diesel engines (including modern EGR units) and
gasoline engines, combining versatility and heavy-duty
engine protection into one cost-effective motor oil. It is
formulated with high levels of dispersant and detergent
additives that effectively control acids and soot thickening
to help prevent corrosion, wear and deposits. AMSOIL
Synthetic Blend 15W-40 Heavy Duty Motor Oil is excellent for
all-season use in on- or off-road applications.
Maximizes Fuel Economy, Minimizes Oil Consumption and
Emissions
The synthetic base oil component in AMSOIL Synthetic Blend
15W-40 helps reduce oil volatility (burn-off). Less make-up
oil is required to replace volatilized oil and less oil
vapor gets into the exhaust stream. Oil viscosity increase
is controlled, which minimizes drag for better efficiency.
Improved Extreme Temperature Performance
Unlike other semi-synthetic oils, AMSOIL Synthetic Blend
Motor Oil contains a high content of quality synthetic oils
for enhanced performance. Heat and oxidation resistance are

MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL PCO 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 Blend 15W-40 Heavy Duty Motor Oil (PCO) is
recommended for use according to the longest service
interval established by the engine, vehicle or equipment
manufacturer. Drain intervals may be extended based on
oil analysis.
AMSOIL Ea™ full flow
and Donaldson Endurance™ oil filters are designed for
extended drain intervals. They capture more wear-causing
particles, have less restriction and last longer than
regular filters. For best performance, use AMSOIL Ea
full-flow or Donaldson Endurance oil filters.
HEALTH & SAFETY
This product is not expected to cause health concerns when
used for the intended application and according to the
recommendations in the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). An
MSDS is available upon request at 715- 392-7101 or via the
Internet on the
