Dodge Diesel Owners Can Reduce Costs And Improve Performance

AMSOIL HD 15W40 and 5W30 increases MPG 3% to 8% |

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.

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
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 Cummins Turbo Diesel can generally be used up to
25,000 miles or 1 year. Knowing that Dodge Cummins 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 Dodge Cummins 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 for your Cummins Turbo diesel ask for on appropriate Ea Oil
filter, one 4-gallon case of (AME) 15W40, two test kits (G-1451) and a
can of our (AEF-CN) engine flush 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.
Once you have changed your oil, watch your mileage. Most customers are
pleased with the added mileage. Try our Heavy Duty Diesel (HDD) 5W30 for
even more efficiency in the Dodge.
Most AMSOIL diesel customers buy directly from our
on-line store or read about the
Preferred Customer Program to buy at outright wholesale.
There is a simple form to mail in with $10 for a 6-month membership.
AMSOIL will mail you a packet with price savings of 15% to 35%.

By-Pass Remote Filtration Units
Eliminate Virtually All Engine Wear |
|
By-Pass Filtration (BMK-15) |
|
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 7000 miles or 6 months 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.
