Advanced Media Technology
Cellulose and blended medias found in
most oil filters have larger fibers than the synthetic nanofibers found in the
EaO Filters. They also have larger spaces between their fibers. This causes
contaminants to load in the depth of the media and plug the oil-flow path,
resulting in higher restriction and less capacity. The smaller fibers in
synthetic media also have a controlled size and shape. This results in greater
efficiency and capacity than cellulose filters, as well as better durability.
AMSOIL Ea Oil Filters provide a higher level of engine protection, as well as
extended filter change intervals.
Oil Filtration Basics
Clean oil is vital to engine performance and durability. Oil must lubricate,
cool and clean the engine as it circulates. In order to remain effective it
must be filtered as it cycles. The filter is connected to the engine sump,
which contains the oil pump. Full-flow filters pass all the oil output from the
pump through the filter. The function of the oil filter is to remove the
contaminants introduced into the lubricating oil and prevent them from reaching
sensitive engine parts without restricting normal oil flow to the various
points requiring lubrication. Internal sources of contamination include wear
products from the rubbing surfaces of the engine, blow-by gases leaking past
the rings of the pistons and degradation of the oil itself. A filter must
perform well in the areas of efficiency, capacity, flow and life.
Absolute Efficiency Efficiency is the filter's ability to capture contaminants. The more
efficient a filter is, the more contaminants it will remove from the oil. To
make a filter more efficient the spaces between the fibers in the media are
made smaller, creating more resistance and limiting the oil's ability to flow
through the filter. Achieving maximum efficiency along with limited resistance
is critical to good filtration. Extensive testing shows that AMSOIL Ea Oil
Filters achieve a near-perfect absolute efficiency rating. The exclusive new
technology used in AMSOIL EaO Filters provides filtering efficiency to 98.7
percent at 15 microns. EaO Filters are the most efficient filters that are
available for auto/light trucks.
Maximum Capacity Capacity is the amount of contaminants a filter can hold and still remain
effective. When a filter reaches maximum capacity the oil continues to flow
through unfiltered, leaving harmful contaminants circulating in the oil. When a
filter reaches maximum capacity it also reaches the end of its life and must be
changed. AMSOIL EaO Filters have a far greater capacity than competing filter
lines. When used in conjunction with AMSOIL synthetic motor oils in normal
service, EaO Filters are guaranteed to remain effective for 25,000 miles or one
year, whichever comes first.
Durable Construction
AMSOIL Ea Oil Filters are made with premium-grade full synthetic media. The
strictly controlled processing of this media ensures accurate fiber
construction and allows Ea Oil Filters to deliver higher capacity and
efficiency, along with better durability. Over the service life of a cellulose
filter, hot oil will degrade the resins that bind the media. EaO Filters full
synthetic media technology uses a wire screen backing 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.
Imroved Flow
Proper oil flow is essential to keep moving parts lubricated at all times. A
filter without adequate flow properties can cause catastrophic engine failure.
Flow is restricted as the spacing in the filter media is made smaller to
provide greater efficiency. The synthetic nanofibers in AMSOIL Ea Oil Filters
allow maximum efficiency without restricting flow. This provides unsurpassed
cold-start performance and ensures proper levels of lubrication throughout the
engine.
Extended Service Intervals
AMSOIL EaO Filters are guaranteed for
25,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first, when used in conjunction with
AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oil in gasoline and diesel vehicles in normal service.
They are guaranteed for 15,000 miles for severe service. This coincides with the
AMSOIL 25,000-mile/one year motor oil drain interval, adding even more
convenience for motorists by consolidating routine maintenance. EaO Filters are
recommended for use up to two times longer than OEM recommendations for
commercial units, fleets and RVs using diesel fueled engines, not to exceed
60,000 miles for heavy-duty on-highway diesel applications.
EaO Filter Q & A
Why is the AMSOIL EaO synthetic media better than cellulose based oil filtration media?
Synthetic media have submicron diameters (nanofibers)
and small inter-fiber spaces which result in more contaminants being captured on
the surface of the media and lower restriction. Cellulose fibers are larger and
have larger spaces between the fibers, causing the contaminants to load inside
the media and plug the flow path, resulting in higher restriction and lower
capacity.
How long do Ea Oil Filters last?
EaO Filters are guaranteed for
25,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first, when used in conjunction with
AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oil. AMSOIL recommends changing the oil filter at the
time of oil change.
If AMSOIL does not offer an EaO filter for my vehicle, what do I do?
Amsoil carries a complete line of filters from quality aftermarket manufacturers like WIX and MANN.
