Motor Oil Info

When used in conjunction with AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oil, Ea Oil Filters are guaranteed for extended service life. Ea Filters designated with product code Ea15k are recommended for 15,000 miles/one year, whichever comes first, in normal or severe service.

Ea Filters designated with product code EaO are recommended for 25,000 miles/one year, whichever comes first, in normal service or 15,000 miles/one year, whichever comes first, in severe service. The redesigned line of Ea Oil Filters includes three new EaO filters, as well as four cartridge style filters recommended predominantly for some newer Toyota, Lexus, Saturn, GM and other applications.

Flow is restricted as the spacing in the filter media is made smaller to provide greater efficiency. The unique design and full synthetic media in AMSOIL Ea Oil Filters allow decreased space between fibers without restricting flow. This provides exceptional cold start performance and ensures proper levels of lubrication throughout the engine.

Over the service life of a cellulose filter, hot oil degrades the resins that bind the media. Ea Oil Filters full synthetic media is backed with a wire screen that is pleated with the media for superior strength. Ea Oil Filters are constructed with HNBR nitrile gaskets that are fully tested to extreme distances  in numerous severe environments. The filters also feature fully tucked seams, a molded element seal, roll formed threads and a long lasting premium grade silicone anti-drain valve.

Efficiency describes the filter’s ability to capture contaminants. The more efficient a filter, the more contaminants it removes from the oil. Manufacturers typically report their filter’s efficiencies as the percentage of contaminants 20 microns and larger removed from oil. Filters using traditional media are often only 40 to 80 percent efficient at 20 microns.

In extensive testing, the full line of AMSOIL Ea Oil Filters achieves a near perfect absolute efficiency rating of 98.7 percent at 20 microns, making each filter among the most efficient available for autos and light trucks.

Filter capacity has become increasingly more important. To increase fuel economy in response to government mandates, automakers continue employing turbochargers, direct fuel injection and other performance improving technologies that introduce more contaminants into oil. In addition, ethanol found in gasoline has been shown to further degrade oil, placing extra strain on oil filters.

In short, today’s engines introduce more contaminants into the oil than did their predecessors and oil sumps are shrinking leaving fewer detergents and dispersants to help fight the by products of modern internal combustion. Oil filter capacity must be improved in order to contend with the additional contaminants.

Redesigned AMSOIL Ea Oil Filters are engineered using full synthetic media that features smaller fibers compared to the cellulose and blended media found in other filters. The smaller fibers have a controlled size and shape, providing greater efficiency, capacity and durability. The re-engineered media in AMSOIL Ea Oil Filters provides up to two times greater capacity. Capacity refers to the amount of contaminants a filter can hold while still remaining effective.

To understand the significance of improved capacity, it’s helpful to know the basics of oil filtration. Clean oil is vital to keeping engines running properly. The oil filter must remove contaminants introduced into the oil and prevent them from reaching sensitive engine parts without restricting normal oil flow. Internal sources of contamination include wear products from the rubbing surfaces of the engine, and degradation of the oil itself. To provide top notch performance, a filter must be constructed with the optimum balance of capacity, efficiency, flow and durability.

The entire line of AMSOIL Ea Oil filters has been redesigned to provide up to two times greater capacity than before, making an already superior filter even better. Each filter provides a filtering efficiency of 98.7 percent at 20 microns, ranking them among the most efficient oil filters available.

AMSOIL Ea Oil Filters now feature a fluted can for improved grip. Four new AMSOIL branded cartridge style filters EA15K01-04 featuring full synthetic media have been added to the line, as well as three additional 25,000 mile filters EaO 17, EaO18 and EaO98. Redesigned Ea Oil Filters will become available as inventories of the old filters are depleted. Product codes and pricing remain unchanged.

Sulfur is often present in plants in equal or greater amounts than potassium. Sufficient sulfur produces high quality and yields of vegetables, tree fruits, small grains, legumes and forages. High protein and oil levels in seed and high protein and vitamin A production in forages and legumes are benefits of increasing sulfur fertility.

In addition to many benefits provided by the kelp and sulfate of potash in AGGRAND Natural Kelp and Sulfate of Potash, naturally occurring proprietary ingredients added to this fertilizer release nutrients from the soil, act as chelating agents, aid in foliar and root uptake, and stimulate soil biological activity. AGGRAND Natural Kelp and Sulfate of Potash is the key to overall plant health, quality, increased marketability, high yields and increased stress tolerance.

AGGRAND Natural Kelp and Sulfate of Potash utilizes kelp concentrate from the icy waters of the North Atlantic Ocean. Kelp from this source contains high levels of plant growth hormones, amino acids, micronutrients and potassium. When used as fertilizer, kelp makes plants more robust and healthy by enhancing their heat, drought and cold tolerance. In addition, kelp increases the plant growth rate and fruit production, size, and quality.

AGGRAND Natural Kelp and Sulfate of Potash contains minimally processed sulfate of potash from Great Salt Lake in Utah. Unlike other sources of potassium this source does not contain chloride (CI) which can be damaging to soil life and plant roots. Potassium must be present in large quantities in plants because it is a component of the fluids which flood the plant tissue. Potassium deficient plants are susceptible to insect attack, have weak stalks, and underdeveloped root systems. Sufficient potassium produces high quality vegetables and tree fruits. Dark green leaves, high nutritional quality, firm stalks, prolific root growth, greater plant vigor, improved nutrient uptake, higher yields, fewer blemishes increased disease and insect resistance, and increased fruit shelf life are benefits of crops growth with AGGRAND Natural Kelp and Sulfate of Potash.

AGGRAND Natural Kelp and Sulfate of Potash is an important part of any soil fertility/plant nutrition program. It contains 8% readily available Potash, a grade of 0-0-8 (N-P-K). Potassium (K) is considered the “universal helper” and is a major contributor to plant health because it regulates so many important processes in the plant.

AGGRAND Natural Kelp and Sulfate of Potash also contains 2 percent sulfur (S). Sulfur, called the “fourth major nutrient,” has many important functions in plant growth and must be present in sufficient amounts in the soil and plant tissue to realize the benefits of nitrogen and potassium.

Bloodmeal and sulfate of potash are combined with the fish to boost the nutrient levels in AGGRAND Natural Fertilizer. Together, the kelp, fish, bloodmeal and sulfate of potash provide all of the elements needed to grow healthy, vigorous plants. In addition to these ingredients, a number of other natural additives are included that condition the soil, reduce transplant shock and chelate the nutrients.

Chelated nutrients are protected against leaching into the groundwater and are readily available for plant uptake. AGGRAND Natural Fertilizer provides beautiful, healthy plants and super yields of high quality, nutritious vegetables, fruits and field crops.
