The HDD, Series 3000 5W-30 diesel oil is a great product and can be run in any of these engines. It provides excellent protection and helps with fuel economy. Many shy away just because it is a 30 weight, but it will work just fine.
The AME is the 15W-40 diesel and marine. There is a 10W-40 Marine engine oil (WCF), this one is NOT for diesel engines.

People read the numbers and apply logic -- that often means that they see 5W20 as "thinner" and less sufficient an oil than 15W40 or 20W50. The numbers are the viscosity -- flow points at a particular temprature, not thickness or thinness of the oil. Each will carry the same load.
Running a lower viscosity number (5W20) means the oil will actually flow better to critical bearing areas at lower temps -- like during the critical cold start-up phase of an engine -- especially in cold climates where regular dino oils bearly pour from the bottle (or push through the oil pump).

to me a 5w20 just seems to thin for a diesel, but thats just my opinion,
i started running ams oil and love it, my truck was starting easier in the winter and builds oilpressure much faster on start up, and i change the filter every 3k, and seems like the oil stays cleaner guna take oil sample at 9k and see what the sample says
how does the mobile1 m1-403 compare to the ams or donaldson filter?

hey heath how much is that ams oil bypass kit, and what does it all consist of
