Whether you like it or not, the big manufacturer’s we know are going to continue to push the small diesel truck market. They get the job done, they’re in a smaller package, and at the end of the day, they sell. With that being said, AMSOIL recognizes its popularity and wanted to capitalize on that front. As of mid-December, there are now two new engine oils added to the AMSOIL lineup designed for these engines.

These two engine oils are 100-percent synthetic diesel oils that are specifically engineered to meet the demands of the diesel engines in newer smaller, half-ton pickups and other passenger vehicles. Available in OW-20 and 5W-30 viscosities, the new AMSOIL 100-percent Synthetic Diesel Oil will provide supreme protection and performance with up to six times better wear protection than required by the leading industry standard.
