AMSOIL
Introduces Ea Oil Filters with Nanofiber Technology;
Another Revolutionary Step for Automotive and Light
Truck Applications
AMSOIL
INC. of Superior, WI announces the introduction of its
new Ea Oil Filter line featuring advanced full synthetic
nanofiber technology. The new Ea Oil Filters tout
improved lubricant flow, improved cold-start
performance, reduced operating costs and extended
service intervals. AMSOIL
Ea Oil Filters will be the highest efficiency filters on
the market for automotive and light truck applications.
AMSOIL
is the first in the industry to offer a full synthetic
media in a cartridge style filter. The Ea synthetic
media is made of fibers with a controlled size and shape
that are significantly smaller in diameter than
conventional filters. Extensive testing shows that
AMSOIL
Ea Oil Filters provide a near perfect absolute
efficiency rating.
Ea Filter Cross Reference Guide
Benefits
include:
•
25,000 miles or one year service life
in cars and light trucks
• Higher capacity than competing filter
lines
• Excellent flow characteristics
• Reduced engine wear
• Certified OEM fitment
The filters also feature fully tucked
seams, a molded element seal, roll-formed threads and a
long-lasting premium grade silicone anti-drain valve.
Advanced Media
Technology
Cellulose and blended medias found in most oil
filters have larger fibers than the synthetic
and 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 air-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 and extended filter change intervals.
Oil Filtration
Basics
Clean oil is vital to keep engines running
properly. 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. A filter must
perform well in the areas of efficiency,
capacity, flow and life.
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.
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.
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 one of the main attributes of a
great filtration product.
Extensive testing shows that
AMSOIL
Ea Oil Filters have the best efficiency rating
in the industry. EaO Filters provide a filtering
efficiency in accordance with industry standard
ISO 4548-12 of 98.7 percent at 15 microns, while
competitive filters containing conventional
cellulose medias range from 40 to 80 percent
efficiency. EaO
Filters are the most efficient filters that are
available for auto/light trucks.

Ea Oil Filter
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 is what
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.
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, 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.
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.

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.
Why
does
the
AMSOIL
EaO
Filter
use
wire
mesh?
The
