AMSOIL Ea Air
Filters represent a major breakthrough in filtration
technology. The revolutionary nanofiber technology
used in AMSOIL Ea Filters captures more dirt, holds
more dirt and allows better air flow than
conventional air filters. AMSOIL Ea Filters improve
engine performance and help engines last longer.
The Air Filter: Your Engine's
First Line of Defence
An engine “breathes” air to mix
with fuel for combustion – about 9,000 gallons of
air for every gallon of gas. All that air contains
more than 400 tons of suspended dirt in one cubic
mile over a typical city, and the concentration is
much higher in rural areas where travel frequently
is over unpaved roads. The air filter is the first
line of defense against the abrasive airborne grit
that gets into an engine. In order to do the job
right, the air filter must effectively filter the
dangerous particles without obstructing the vital
flow of air that sustains the engine.
Absolute
Efficiency
AMSOIL Ea Air Filters are the most efficient filters
available to the car/light truck market. Ea Air
Filters’ synthetic nanofiber media removes five
times more dust than traditional cellulose filter
media alone and 50 times more dust than wet gauze
filter media. AMSOIL Ea Air Filters have a service
life of 100,000 miles or four years, whichever comes
first.
Better Air Flow
AMSOIL Ea Air Filters allow more airflow than
filters that use cellulose media alone. Cellulose
fibers are larger than nanofibers, and have larger
spaces between the fibers, causing contaminants to
load in the depth of the media and plug the airflow
path, which results in higher restriction and less
capacity. The synthetic nanofibers in EaA Filter
media have submicron diameters and small interfiber
spaces, which result in more contaminants being
captured on the surface of the media and lower
restriction.
More Capacity
AMSOIL Ea Air Filters hold up to two and a half
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, improving the filter’s overall quality
and ability to capture and retain particles. Testing
shows that Ea Air Filters hold 15 times more
contaminants than a wet gauze type filter.

Cleanable - Longer Life
When cleaned according to AMSOIL specifications and
used in normal service, AMSOIL Ea Air Filters are
guaranteed for 100,000 miles or four years,
whichever comes first. EaA Filters remain effective
for 25,000 miles or one year before requiring
cleaning. This coincides with the AMSOIL
25,000-mile/one-year motor oil drain interval,
adding even more convenience for motorists by
consolidating routine maintenance. (See below for
cleaning instructions.)

Applications
AMSOIL Ea Air Filters provide superior air
filtration for vehicles in the auto/light truck
market.
Cleaning
EaA filters should be cleaned every year or 25,000
miles, whichever comes first. Carefully remove the
filter from the housing. Clean the housing with a
shop towel, being careful not to knock contaminants
into the air inlet. Filters can be cleaned by
carefully vacuuming the filter media on the dirty
side, or by holding the filter with one hand and
carefully blowing the filter media at a 45 degree
angle on the clean side using low-pressure shop air
(15-20 lbs. psi).
Service Life
AMSOIL Ea Air Filters are guaranteed for four years
or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. The
guarantee applies only if the filter has been
serviced according to AMSOIL recommendations. In
off-road, frequently dusty or other severe duty
applications, clean and change more often as
determined by operating conditions or as indicated
by restriction gauge.
AMSOIL Warranty
AMSOIL warrants that its filtration products are fit
for use according to AMSOIL’s recommendations and
warrants its products to be free of defective
materials, design and workmanship.
