The #1 comment is regarding the
improved mileage and smoother engine
performance. AMSOIL is the only diesel oil
designed for extended intervals which can resist
the added sheer caused by new diesel emissions
systems which increase soot, heat and average
engine RPM. Find out why people have trusted
AMSOIL Diesel oils since 1976.

|
Reach 20,000 +
miles before changing oil. |
|
Use the By-Pass
filter system to reach 100,000 and beyond.

Ford Powerstroke 7.3
(94-03) uses the AMSOIL Ea Air Filter, Ea Oil
Filter, FF-1104 Fuel Filter and the BMK-16
By-Pass Filtration Kit.
1994 to 2003 - Engine holds 14 quarts with
filter. You will need to purchase 16 quarts in
order to top off when you change the two quart
filter. You will need a couple more if you run a
bypass filter system.
The new 6.0 uses the new AMSOIL Ea Air Filter,
Ea Oil filter, and the FFK-60 Fuel Filter.
The 6.0 engine holds 15 quarts with a filter.
You will need a couple more if you run a bypass
filter system. |
|
Oil change
recommendations: |
|
First, be sure you have surpassed
the recommended 10,000 mile break in period. The
manufacturer's recommendation is 5,000-miles or
six months. AMSOIL HDD Series 3000 5W30 and AME
15W40 is rated for all turbo diesel engines,
heavy-duty diesel engines, non-turbo diesel
engines, and light duty diesel engines for drain
intervals at 25,000 miles or 1 year whichever
comes first. Extend your changes further as
outlined below using our simple Oil Analysis
kits.
Oil analysis sampling kits (available here) can
be used to verify acceptable limitations of
reaching 20,000 to 100,000 miles per oil change.
(By-Pass filter needed to achieve oil life
beyond 30,000 miles.) Using analysis gives you
the piece of mind you deserve and is a more
responsible method to monitor the crankcase
conditions rather than the Oil Life System which
has no means to measure soot, viscosity, engine
wear, moisture and oil acidity. Our low cost
Analysis Kits also keep an on-going record each
time you send in your next sequential sample.
Increase economy even more using the new AMSOIL
Severe Gear 75W90 or 75W140 which has an
interval of 100,000 miles. |
|
Keep it simple
|
|
We have many Ford Powerstroke
customers who have simply gone to a 25,000 mile
interval of changing both filters on the bypass
unit and no analysis. No, they are not draining
the oil - Just changing the filters. (If you
want to extend longer then we suggest the Oil
Analysis kits). |
|
The below is using
AMSOIL w/o the bypass system:
|
|
I suggest taking an oil sample
before you convert to AMSOIL just to see the
current condition of the oil you are using
especially if you bought your truck used. And
also to note or be alerted to any wear
conditions that may exist. Then once you have
installed the appropriate AMSOIL synthetic oil
and filter, you could simply go to 25,000 miles
or 1 year whichever comes first. That is the
basic coverage for AMSOIL's synthetic diesel
motor oils as stated on the data sheets. AMSOIL
Synthetic Diesel Oils are designed to last at
least twice the
manufacturers recommended interval.
If you have not seen the data on AMSOIL's
superior synthetic diesel product, before you
leave please visit our Diesel Oil section of the
AMSOIL Products by Application page, but first
check out the By-Pass filter section below.
AMSOIL 15W40, Series 3000 5W30, and our new 2007
and newer vehicle diesel oil is best priced in
our 4-gallon case or larger containers.
|
|
With the 15W40 you
simply cannot get a better value in motor oil.
Since 1976 this has been improved constantly to
exceed all future engine, EPA and API
requirements. Try it out and you will never
switch back. If you are in extreme low
temperature areas, we also suggest the AMS-Oiler
for easier winter starting.

Change Your Mind -
NOT Your Oil! |
|
Switch to AMSOIL
15W40 or 5W30 HDD save money,
time, fuel and cut your oil consumption
significantly. |
|
This means your use of AMSOIL HDD
in your Powerstroke can generally be used up to
25,000 miles. Knowing that Ford designs these
intervals to be conservative (using conventional
SAE 40 motor oils), the use of an oil analysis
will generally prove that the AMSOIL HDD (or
AME) is still within the proper specs regarding
to alkalinity, wear metals, soot, NOX%
(nitration and oxidation), water, fuel, etc. The
analysis company makes the recommendation but
you see the results yourself. Why in the world
would you change the oil if it's still good? And
why would you use another brand of oil when
AMSOIL users experience instant fuel economy
increases of 5% to 15% and even greater when
AMSOIL is used through out the power train and
intake filters?
It is highly likely when using analysis that the
results will return saying - "continue use till
next interval" It's still good!
But most importantly the
life of your Ford will be extended
significantly. |
|
"I'm so tired of
$60+ oil changes every 3 weeks and having to
wait and
watch while someone else changes my oil! What is
bulk oil anyway?"
AMSOIL 15W40 is the solution to this problem!
|
|
For your first order (example
1994 and newer 7.3 TD) order one appropriate Ea
oil filter, one 4-gallon case of (AME) 15W40,
one or two test kits (G-1451) and 1 can of our
(AEF-CN) engine flush for high mileage
changeovers when converting to synthetic for the
first time. For other engines there are several
different filter types, so just use our on line
application guide to obtain your required
products.

By-Pass Filtration
(BMK-16) |
|
Use our By-Pass filtration kits
and extend oil changes even further (Filters
down to 1/10 micron particle size and will hold
up to a quart of water). If you don't use AMSOIL
use the By-pass kit at least. It filters 5
quarts in 5 minutes at 45 miles per hour. When
using AMSOIL HDD Diesel your engine will run
smother, quieter and many even notice an
increase in power. Our gear and differential
lubes will add to the economy. These are mostly
used by large fleets but we have hundreds of
individual customers using them. Recently the
entire state of North Carolina performed
extensive studies proving the relevancy and
value of these units in their busses. Most don't
believe it at first, but now because of the use
of the By-Pass filters and analysis they now
clock over 100,000 miles on the oil and the life
of their trucks are extended by several years.
(Most use the low cost Heavy Duty Diesel and
Marine 15W-40, AMSOIL grease, 75W-90 gear lube
and the Universal ATF in the automatics.)
If you want to avoid
problems with soot and deposits, the By-Pass is
your solution. Contact us for a price or start
your wholesale account today.
In Turbodiesel applications our AMSOIL Ea Oil
Filters are recommended for 25,000 miles or1
year whichever comes first. Change other
manufactures' filters at the engine
manufacturer's recommended filter change
intervals.
In Heavy Duty Diesel trucks it in not unusual
for the engine manufacturer to recommend 25,000
and 50,000 without By-Pass filtration. Mack has
designed an engine for 40,000 miles per change
recently. AMSOIL has been tested on the road
using analysis and By-Pass filtration for up to
400,000+ miles.

Testimonial: Several of
our customers using the diesel products for the
first time always send feedback regarding their
amazement on how well the oil actually
performed. They can't believe how smooth the
engine now runs and sometimes the mileage quoted
sounds very exaggerated! Don't forget to examine
the AMSOIL gear and transmission products to
maximize your efficiency and totally extend all
your fluid requirements.
- ANALYSIS KITS - These kits
retail for about $20 retail with two way
postage included. To sample your oil you can
either purchase the $25 pump with hose
(Vampire � Hand Pump - same as military
uses) for easy extraction from the dipstick
tube. You may drain a portion from the drain
plug (difficult to get a representative
sample) or if you have the By-Pass kit use
the drain valve attached to the manifold for
the quick and easy extraction.
- Contact us for these kits.
Non postage kits sell for around $15 if you
need to do several vehicles together. Co-op
discounts available for fleets.

AMSOIL FFK-60 Fuel
Filter for Ford 6.0L Diesel
|
|
The AMSOIL FFK-60 Fuel Filter
incorporates both a primary and secondary filter
for maximum fuel cleanliness. The primary 10
micron filter, located in the horizontal Fuel
Conditioning Module (HFCM), performs initial
fuel cleansing before sending the clean
pressurized fuel to the secondary four micron
filter, mounted to the oil filter housing. The
secondary fuel filter includes a fuel pressure
regulator and an orifice on top of the housing
that bleeds air out of the housing and back to
the fuel tank. Following its trip through the
secondary filter, fuel is returned to the HFCM,
where it is either directed to the tank returned
to the primary filter. |

AMSOIL Ea-88 Oil
Filter for Ford 6.0L Diesel PowerStroke�
Applications |
|
Constructed of a highly efficient
synthetic blend media, the AMSOIL Ea-88 Oil
Filter provides increased engine life and
improved filtration efficiency. The AMSOIL Ea-88
is a cartridge style filter located on the top
of the engine. When the filter is removed during
servicing, the oil filter housing drain valve
automatically opens, draining the oil from the
housing to the pan. The oil filter base of the
Ea-88 directs oil to the oil filter, engine oil
pressure switch (EOP), engine oil temperature
sensor (EOT) and turbocharger oil feed. The
filter base also includes an anti-drain back
check valve, keeping oil in the filter assembly
when the engine is shut off.

Dodge
Cummins 5.9 uses the AMSOIL Appropriate Ea Oil filter or the BMK-15
By-Pass Filtration Kit. Now also available for the Cummins 5.9 is the
new Donaldson Endurance Nanotechnology oil filter - The ELF7349
1997 to 2003 - Engine uses 10 quarts plus filter (2.75 US Gallons). In
2004 the requirements specify 12 quarts. |
|
Oil
change recommendations: |
|
First, be sure you
have surpassed at least the 5000 to 20,000 mile break in period. The
Dodge Cummins 5.9 turbo diesel manual states: (1998.5 to 2002)
Maintenance requires the regular replacement of oil and oil filters at
7,500 miles. And the 2003 and up says: For 2003, the oil change interval
has doubled to 15,000 miles for normal use, and 7,500 for severe use.
California, Maine and Massachusetts engines remain at 7,500 and 3,750
for normal and severe use, respectively. AMSOIL HDD Series 3000 5W30 and
AME 15W40 is rated for all turbo diesel engines, heavy-duty diesel
engines, non-turbo diesel engines, and light duty diesel engines for
drain intervals
at 25,000 miles or 1 year whichever comes first.
Extend your changes further as
outlined below using our simple Oil Analysis kits.
Increase economy even more using the new AMSOIL Severe Gear 75W90 or
75W140 which has a interval of 100,000 miles. |
|
Keep
it simple |
|
We have many Dodge
Cummins customers who have simply gone to a 15,000 mile interval of
changing both filters on the bypass unit and no analysis. No, they are
not draining the oil - Just changing the filters. (If you want to extend
longer then we suggest the Oil Analysis kits) One dealer suggests
changing the full flow and bypass filter at 10,000 miles for the first
service, then 15,000 miles each time after that. You should never have
to actually drain the engine oil using this procedure.
|
|
The
below is using AMSOIL w/o the bypass system: |
|
I suggest taking an
oil sample before you convert to AMSOIL just to see the current
condition of the oil you are using especially if you bought your truck
used. And also to note or be alerted to any wear conditions that may
exist. Then once you have installed the appropriate AMSOIL synthetic oil
