Maximum-duty protection for your hardest-working diesel engines

Signature Series Max-Duty Synthetic Diesel Oil 15W-40Maximum Engine Protection

Wear on rings and cylinder liners leads to increased oil consumption and loss of compression, resulting in reduced horsepower and fuel economy. Third-party
testing shows Signature Series Max-Duty delivers 6X more wear protection than required by the Detroit Diesel DD13 Scuffing Test for Specification DFS 93K222,
delivering extra protection so you can push your diesel with peace of mind. Meets and exceeds API CK-4/SN, CJ-4, CI-4+, CF.

 

Sold in quarts, gallons, 2.5-gallon jug and cases of each. Drums and larger sizes are also available for added savings.

Viscosity Control

Using top-tier synthetic base oils, AMSOIL Signature Series Max-Duty 15W-40 is naturally resistant to oxidation and the thickening effects of soot contamination. That, along with boosted 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. Lower volatility also helps Signature Series Max-Duty retain its viscosity after high-temperature service for maximum engine protection and efficiency.

Excels in Extreme Temperatures

AMSOIL Signature Series Max-Duty 15W-40 Synthetic Diesel Oil resists thermal (heat) breakdown better than conventional and competing synthetic diesel oils. Unlike conventional oils, Signature Series contains no wax, staying fluid in sub-zero temperatures for easier starting, improved oil flow and reduced wear. Signature Series 0W-40 (DZF) has a broad viscosity range that offers 4X better cold-cranking ability than a 15W-40, making it excellent for use in both hot-operating engines and cold-weather starting extremes.

Minimizes Oil Consumption

AMSOIL Signature Series Max-Duty has a low rate of volatility (burn-off), reducing oil consumption during operation and passing less oil vapor into the combustion chamber. It provides up to 76 percent less oil consumption than required by the API CK-4 standard in the Caterpillar-1N oil consumption test.

 

Reduced oil consumption is a hallmark asset with AMSOIL saving you in operational costs including reduced DEF usage.

COMPATIBILITY

AMSOIL Signature Series Max-Duty Synthetic Diesel Oil is compatible with other conventional and synthetic engine oils. Mixing AMSOIL diesel oils with other oils, however, will shorten the oil’s 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 synthetic diesel oils. Stiction eliminators are not needed as a quality synthetic eliminates the need.

15-40 diesel oil

By TONY,  a  Verified Buyer on  March 14, 2025
I have used this oil for the last 10 years in a 2015 Duramax. I work the truck every day and have 209k miles on the truck. The truck doesn’t use any oil between its 7500 mile oil changes and still runs like new. I recommend giving it a try.

Amsoil oil

By  MICHAEL,  a  Verified Buyer  from  Texas  on  March 14, 2025
I used Amsoil in the 1980’s back then you had to know someone that sold it. Now we can order it online, it’s costly but I use it until I reach 12000-15000 miles which is usually about a year and a half. I trust the brand. I keep a spare case on hand.
