A filter’s efficiency refers to its ability to stop dirt and other contaminants from entering the engine. AMSOIL Ea Oil Filters trap and hold 98.7 percent of particles 20 microns and larger, while competitive filters demonstrate efficiencies  as low as 51 percent. Ea Air Filters boast high capacities as well, holding  up  to 2.5 times more contaminants than cellulose filters. Their unique media construction enables Ea Air filters to maintain high airflow without compromising efficiency.

Used with AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oils, Ea Oil Filters have a maximum recommended service life of either 15,000 miles or 25,000 miles, depending on the application. Ea Air Filters provide 100,000 miles/four years of service with annual cleaning using a shop vacuum or compressed air. Both lines of filter save motorists time and money.

When cleaning the EA Air filters you want to clean it every 25,000 miles or every year. You would want to remove the the filter and clean it with a vacuum to get all the dust off. The biggest difference between more traditional air filters and these new EA from Amsoil is the ability to hold more dust and dirt which is what the amsoil air filter is used for. Since you can hold up to 2.5 times more dirt this means your car will run smoother and better. Like all things in life as new technology comes out it always has ways to improve the efficiency or things we use everyday.

A filter’s ability to contain trapped contaminants determines how well an engine will run and long the filter will remain effective. If the capacity is too low , the filter will have to be replaced constantly. When the filter is full, air cannot pass through at the rate necessary for proper engine performance.

AMSOIL Ea Air Filters hold up to 2.5 times more contaminants than cellulose air filters. Since the nanofibers in the media are so small there are more pores per square inch, allowing for higher dirt-holding capacity and lower pressure drop when compared to cellulose filter media alone. Thinner media fibers produce more uniform pore size distribution, improve the filter’s overall quality and ability to capture and retain particles. Testing shows that Ea Air Filters hold 15 times more contaminants than wet gauze-type filter. The capacity is so great, in fact, that the new AMSOIL Ea Air Filters remain effective for a full 25,000 miles/ one-year motor oil drain interval, adding even more convenience for motorists by consolidating routine maintenance.

The function of the air filter is to trap and hold these wear-causing contaminants without restricting air flow. As the filter traps more and more contaminants, air flow becomes restricted, smothering the engine and diminishing performance. The more wear-causing contaminants a filtration media traps and the more contaminants the filtration media holds, while still allowing optimum air flow, the better the filtration media is.

The nanofiber technology used in AMSOIL Ea Filters surpasses all other technology in efficiency, capacity and service life. With AMSOIL Ea Filter, dust and submicron particles remain on the surface and are trapped on top of the nanofibers, preventing particles from lodging in the filter media depth. This produces higher efficiency and higher capacity which extends engine and filter life and reduces engine wear.

Nanofiber technology has been used exclusively in heavy-duty applications, including the US ARMY Abrams M1 tank. AMSOIL has brought this technology to the auto/light truck market. AMSOIL Ea Air Filters provide the absolute best filtration for AMSOIL customers and with an unmatched four-year/100,000-mile guarantee, AMSOIL Ea Air Filters save money!

Nanofiber is a phrase generally referring to a fiber with a diameter less than one micron. Cellulose fibers on the other hand, are larger than nanofibers and have larger spaces between the fibers,causing contaminants to load in the depth of the media and plugthe airflow path, resulting in higher restriction and less capacity. AMSOIL Ea Air Filters incorporate a specially constructed cellulose media with synthetic nanofibers applied to the surface. Dust and submicron particles are trapped on the nanofiber surface, preventing them from lodging in the filter media depth.

Cleaning is done by using light air pressure, or a shop vacuum.
