Amsoil SAE 30 Synthetic Diesel Oil ?

[Dale_Knight]

A couple of questions about Amsoil SAE 30 Synthetic Diesel Oil;

Is this a PAO or ester based oil. Are there any VOA's or used oil analysis on this oil or do one of the Amsoil sponsers have some further specs in terms of additives and properties other than what's on the net. On some pages I see the oil as being to SL specs and in others to SH, is SL correct. Thanks.

The appropriate link is here: Amsoil ACD SAE 30/10W-30

It's a blend of a couple synthetic base stocks. There are several used oil analysis of the oil in cars, trucks and equipment. If some dealer website (such as what you posted) has reference to SH, then it's outdated info.

Thanks Paul, I looked a couple of the ACD used oil analysis, good looking oil.

What I like about ACD is it has a high enough VI to meet the specs for a 10w30 without the use of VI improvers.

I've been using it in my TL for over half it's life. Hasn't blown up yet lol. I picked it because I do a lot of long freeway driving.

All of Amsoil except for the XL line and the 15w40 Semi-syn diesel is Gr. IV PAO.
