AMSOIL 10W-30 Commercial-Grade Diesel Oil

AMSOIL 10W-30 Commercial-Grade Diesel Oil (SBDT) is an advanced synthetic-blend heavy-duty engine oil formulated with greater than 50 percent synthetic content for on-road and off-road diesel service. The 10W-30 grade is the fuel-economy-focused commercial diesel formula in the line, engineered as a value-tier upgrade over conventional 10W-30 heavy-duty oils for fleet trucks, work pickups, agricultural and construction equipment, and commercial applications that order in gallon and drum quantities.

Heavy-duty wear protection

Wear on rings and cylinder liners drives oil consumption higher while pulling horsepower and fuel economy lower. Commercial-Grade 10W-30 delivers 2X more wear protection than required by the Detroit Diesel DD13 Scuffing Test for specification DFS 93K222, based on third-party testing using 10W-30 as worst-case representation. The 10W-30 grade records a 0.46 mm scar in the Four-Ball Wear Test (ASTM D4172) and a Total Base Number of 10.0 (ASTM D2896) for acid neutralization and detergent reserve through the drain interval.

Viscosity stability and soot dispersion

Greater than 50 percent synthetic base oil content combined with a high-performance detergent and dispersant package minimizes viscosity change in heavy-duty service. The additive chemistry keeps soot particles suspended independently in the oil, helping prevent the agglomeration that produces the larger, wear-causing particles that grind on liners, rings, and valvetrain hardware. The 10W-30 grade holds a high-temperature high-shear viscosity of 3.5 cP (ASTM D5481) and a sulfated ash content of 1.0 weight percent for compatibility with diesel particulate filters and other emissions hardware.

Cold-start flow and hot-temperature resistance

Commercial-Grade Diesel Oil resists heat and oxidation better than conventional diesel oils, helping maintain clean engine operation, power output, and fuel efficiency through long hours of service. The 10W-30 grade flows dependably in cold temperatures for reliable startup, with a CCS viscosity of 5,960 cP at -25 C (ASTM D5293), a pour point of -38 C (ASTM D97), and a viscosity index of 145. A flash point of 230 C (ASTM D92) and a kinematic viscosity of 12.1 cSt at 100 C (ASTM D445) round out the high-temperature performance profile.

Low volatility and reduced oil consumption

Commercial-Grade Diesel Oil has a low rate of volatility (burn-off), reducing oil consumption during operation and passing less oil vapor into the combustion chamber. The 10W-30 grade records a NOACK volatility of 4.8 percent weight loss (ASTM D5800). Lower oil vapor entering the combustion chamber contributes to fewer combustion-chamber deposits and longer aftermarket-system life, an important consideration for trucks running diesel particulate filters and exhaust gas recirculation hardware.

Synthetic-blend value tier for fleets

Commercial-Grade Diesel Oil is the synthetic-blend value tier of the AMSOIL diesel oil program, positioned between conventional fleet oils and the 100 percent synthetic Signature Series Max-Duty line. The 10W-30 grade delivers a higher synthetic content, a stronger heavy-duty additive package, and broader OEM approvals than typical conventional 10W-30 diesel oils, while keeping per-gallon and per-drum cost in fleet-friendly range. Outstanding value combined with heavy-duty protection makes the formula a strong fit for fleets and equipment operators upgrading from conventional or competing synthetic-blend diesel oils.

Recommended applications and service guidance

Use the live AMSOIL product page and your owner's manual to confirm the current viscosity, API category, OEM approvals, and service guidance for your engine before ordering. AMSOIL updates approvals and recommendations as formulas and manufacturer requirements change.

For extended service, follow the current AMSOIL guidance, your equipment manual, and oil-analysis results. Extended intervals are not appropriate for every engine or operating condition, especially modified engines, unusual fuels, racing use, or equipment with special service restrictions.

Customer reviews

  • Its amsoil

    Doesn't really get any better than amsoil, been running the product for years in all of my modified vehicles front to back with no issues. The price of this 15w40 is on point as well.

    By Joseph on December 15, 2025.

    Would recommend this to a friend.

  • It’s a synthetic blend but …

    It’s a synthetic blend but it’s a higher content blend than the rest. All my company trucks run it and it seems to working out great for all of them. Better fuel mileage and better engine temperatures!

  • My 6.0 loves it

    Run this in my 2006 6.0 power stroke. Seems to be a better alternative to the OEM oil. Engine runs quieter and starts better. Zero injector issues.

Frequently asked questions

Is Commercial-Grade Diesel Oil a full synthetic?

No. Commercial-Grade Diesel Oil is an advanced synthetic-blend with greater than 50 percent synthetic content, positioned as a value-tier upgrade over conventional diesel oils. For a 100 percent synthetic option with longer service-life support, the AMSOIL Signature Series Max-Duty diesel line is the next step up.

What is the difference between 10W-30 Commercial-Grade and Signature Series Max-Duty 10W-30?

Commercial-Grade 10W-30 (SBDT) is a synthetic-blend with greater than 50 percent synthetic content, built as a fleet-friendly value tier with OEM-stated drain intervals. Signature Series Max-Duty 10W-30 (DTT) is built on 100 percent synthetic base oils, carries the heavy-duty OEM approvals, and supports extended drain capability with the additional thermal stability and soot dispersancy of a top-tier synthetic.

Which engines and equipment is 10W-30 Commercial-Grade built for?

The 10W-30 grade is recommended for diesel engines that specify API CK-4, CJ-4, CI-4+, or CF and that call for a 10W-30 viscosity. Typical applications include Class 8 trucks, medium-duty work trucks, agricultural tractors and combines, construction equipment, and stationary diesel generators. Where an engine manufacturer specifies a gasoline-engine service category covered by the application list, the formula can serve those gasoline applications as well.

How long can Commercial-Grade Diesel Oil stay in service?

Commercial-Grade Diesel Oil is recommended for the drain intervals stated by the original equipment manufacturer in the owner's manual. Drain intervals may be extended beyond the OEM recommendation with oil analysis. Extended drain capability beyond the OEM interval without oil analysis is a Signature Series benefit, not a Commercial-Grade benefit.

Can Commercial-Grade Diesel Oil be mixed with conventional or other synthetic diesel oils?

The formula is compatible with other conventional and synthetic engine oils, but mixing reduces the performance benefits of the oil and shortens service life. Aftermarket oil additives are not needed and are not recommended for use with AMSOIL diesel oils.

Will running Commercial-Grade Diesel Oil void a new diesel engine warranty?

No. Using AMSOIL synthetic lubricants does not void a new vehicle or equipment manufacturer warranty, and all AMSOIL lubricants and filters are covered by the AMSOIL Limited Warranty.

How does the 10W-30 grade handle cold-weather startup?

The 10W-30 grade reaches a CCS viscosity of 5,960 cP at -25 C (ASTM D5293) and a pour point of -38 C (ASTM D97), which supports reliable startup and dependable oil flow in cold-weather operation. In sustained sub-zero service, confirm the engine manufacturer specification calls for a 10W-30 cold-weather grade before use.
