  • GM dexosD, dexos2
  • Chrysler MS-11106
  • ACEA C3

Why Did AMSOIL Create This New 5W-30 Diesel Oil?

AMSOIL decided to create a single product that is covers a number of light-duty diesel applications. This 5W-30 covers the popular Ford WSS-M2C214-B1 spec for the F-150 Power Stroke diesel. It also meets the dexosD spec for the 2.8L Duramax for in the Colorado and Canyon quarter-ton trucks. Also covered is the dexos2 spec for the diesel versions of the Chevrolet Cruze and Equinox. Lastly, this product is suitable for 2007-2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee models with the diesel engine option.

How Does This Product Compare To Signature Series Max-Duty 5W-30?

AMSOIL is quick to offer that this new 5W-30 diesel oil is not a step down from the ultra-premium “DHD” Signature Series Max-Duty Synthetic Diesel 5W-30. New 5W-30 100% Synthetic Diesel Oil offers volatility control and shear stability numbers that are right up there with Signature Series Max-Duty products.

The Signature Series Max-Duty 5W30 does cover the Ford WSS-M2C214-B1. However, it did not cover GM dexosD/dexos2 or the Jeep MS-11106 spec. Therefore, this single product conveniently covers several applications.

Duramax Diesel Engines: Can You Use 5W-40 Oil In Winter?

AMSOIL Signature Series Max-Duty 5W-40 Synthetic Diesel Oil A reader asks: I’ve got a 2018 GMC Sierra 2500 with the L5P Duramax diesel engine. I see that 15W-40 oil is suggested for this engine. Can I use 5W-40 in the winter?

Our answer: Yes, you can certainly use 5W-40 in winter (and summer) in your Duramax. While 15W-40 is suggested as the predominant viscosity for your engine, GM does recommend 5W-40 for temps below -18°C (0°F). AMSOIL’s official stance is that their 5W-40 synthetic diesel oils are safe and perfectly suited for year-round use under all conditions and loads. Naturally, 5W-40 is highly recommended for winter use, but there is absolutely no downside to using it in summer as well.

We offer two synthetic 5W-40 diesel motor oil options. The ultra-premium AMSOIL Signature Series Max-Duty 5W-40 and the value-priced AMSOIL Heavy-Duty Synthetic 5W-40.

Is There Any Advantage To Using 15W-40 Over 5W-40?

No. Remember that both 5W-40 and 15W-40 have a 40-weight viscosity. Note that both are offering roughly the same viscosity protection at operating temperature.

The main advantage that 5W-40 offers is faster oil flow during cold-starts.

It is true that 15W-40 has been the predominant diesel oil viscosity for decades. The reason that 15W-40 was a mainstay was its relatively slim spread between the winter weight (15W) and the operating temperature weight (“40”). With previous generations of motor oil technology, a wider spread between winter weight and operating weight (such as 5W-40) was more prone to shearing and thinning.

AMSOIL Heavy-Duty Synthetic 5W-40 Diesel Oil. Today’s motor oils (especially synthetic oils) have a much more linear viscosity across the temperature spectrum. As a result, they are much less prone to being too thick in the extreme cold or thinning out in extreme heat. Therefore, a good 5W-40 will provide flawless protection all year-round.

That is why a 5W-40 can now safely replace 15W-40 for year-round use.

What Is The Difference Between AMSOIL Signature Series Max-Duty and Heavy-Duty Diesel Oils?

Signature Series Max-Duty is AMSOIL’s most sophisticated formula. It delivers their absolute best wear control.

In the Detroit Diesel DD13 Engine Scuffing Test, Signature Series beat the minimum standard by 600%. Heavy-Duty Series beat the standard by 400%.

Signature Series Max-Duty is overbuilt for extended oil change interval capability. Heavy-Duty Series should be changed at the interval suggested by the manufacturer or by the oil life monitor.

Heavy Duty Series has a lower price tag. It was brought to market for commercial fleets, the installer market and value-minded consumers.

We can sell AMSOIL Signature Series Max-Duty and Heavy-Duty Series 5W-40 in Canada and the United States. Contact us using the form on this page for a wholesale price list.
