AMSOIL Ea By-Pass Oil Filtration Systems
The Importance of Engine Filtration
Compared to microscopic dirt particles, your
engine is a Goliath, roaring with heat and energy as it converts
fuel into raw horsepower. But despite all this power, your engine
is extremely vulnerable to the threat of microscopic engine dirt.
In fact, if unchecked, this tiny menace will dramatically erode
your engine's performance and can eventually cripple it beyond
repair.
THE PROBLEMS
Engine Wear - Automotive experts agree
that dirt is the number one cause of engine wear. At first
glance, it does not seem possible. Engine dirt particles
are so small- mere dust specs- and an engine is a
highly sophisticated piece of machinery, crafted from the most
durable metal alloys. How can these minute particles bring
down such a high-tech giant? The answer lies in the fact
that dirt particles are extremely abrasive. They consist
of razor-like flakes of road dust and airborne grit drawn
into the engine through the air intake, as well as manufacturing
scarf and wear metal particles generated inside the engine.
These particles are carried by the oil into the precision clearances
between bearings and other moving parts. Once they work
in between these parts, they grind and gouge surfaces, altering
clearances, and generating more abrasive debris. As this
wear cycle continues, precision components become progressively
sloppy and fatigued until they fail altogether.
Oil Degradation - In addition
to physically assaulting engine components, dirt and other contaminants
work to degrade the oil that provides vital engine lubrication.
Sooty particles generated during combustion can be forced past
piston rings and into the oil. These particles act like
tiny sponges, absorbing critical additives and shortening oil
life. Soot also wreaks havoc with viscosity by causing oil
to thicken. And in the presence of moisture, common by-products
of combustion will react chemically to produce corrosive and rust-producing
acids.
THE SOLUTION
AMSOIL Oil and Air Filters
- Filtration is the key to preventing costly repairs caused
by engine dirt. Filtration is simply a method of removing
contaminants by trapping and holding them outside the system of
oil circulation. In order for filtration to be truly effective,
however, it must be able to capture contaminants of all types
and sizes.
AMSOIL has developed a complete line
of sophisticated filtration products designed to offer the best
protection available against virtually all harmful engine contaminants.
With an AMSOIL Ea Air Filter, an
AMSOIL Ea Oil Filter and an AMSOIL
Ea By-Pass Oil Filter, your engine can run long and hard with
outstanding protection against engine dirt.

WHY ANOTHER FILTER?
Even the best full flow-filter can't do it all.
Any full flow filter
must allow oil to pass through it quickly to keep
the engine from starving for oil. Advances in
auto technology and more compact engine designs place
increasing demands on these filters; to keep from
creating a circulation bottleneck they filter out
only the coarser particles, and feature relief valves
that open when the engines demand for lubrication
can't be ignored.
But the smallest grit
that passes through- road dust, manufacturing
scarf, and engine metal-flake in the 5- to 20-micron
range - accounts for up to 60% of all engine wear.
These microscopic particles closely match the precision
clearances between critical engine components; they
can enter the spaces between bearings, rings, and
other components, to damage metal surfaces, altering
tolerances, fatiguing components and generating additional
debris.
Automobile engines are
also susceptible to damage related to water formation,
something a full flow filter is powerless against.
Water enters the oil either as blowby combustion product
of fuel ignition, or as condensed moisture from air
drawn into the engine through the air intake.
Water causes metal surfaces to rust; it also reacts
with other blowby contaminants to produce corrosive
acids that attack the engine, contributing to further
friction, wear, debris, and oil degradation.
The AMSOIL Solution-
Ea By-Pass Filtration
 Unlike
a full-flow filter, the AMSOIL Ea By-Pass Filter is
situated outside
of the main line of oil circulation; it taps
into the line to bleed off and clean only a
portion of the oil at a time. The AMSOIL Ea
By-Pass Filter retains the oil longer and does a more
thorough job of removing contaminants without obstructing
flow. You still need a full-flow filter, of
course, because oil must circulate continuously. But
with an AMSOIL Ea By-Pass Filter drawing 10% of your
system's capacity, all the
oil in a six-quart system will be filtered
to analytical purity in about five minutes,
at an average engine speed equivalent to 45 mph.
The differences between
the AMSOIL Ea By-Pass Filters and others are the unique
design of the filtering media and the patented construction
of the filter element. Our high-capacity filtration
medium is a special blend of virgin wood and cotton
fibers formed into disc, stacked, and compressed.
The center tube is all-steel, perforated for oil flow
and wrapped with a fine mesh cotton screen.
All dirt particles down to one-tenth
of a micron in size are trapped, and the medium's
thirsty cellulose fibers can remove up to a pint of
water. Channeling is eliminated with the
inclusion of a hydraulic follower plate activated
by a sophisticated internal pressure system.

AMSOIL Ea Spin-On By-Pass
Filter
AMSOIL Ea Spin-On By-Pass
Filters offer the ultimate in filtration technology.
Engine wear is caused by dirt particles larger
than 5 microns. The AMSOIL Ea By-Pass Oil Filter
removes particles less than 1 micron, virtually
eliminating engine wear. AMSOIL Ea By-Pass Oil
Filters filter all the oil in a six-quart system
in about five minutes at an average engine speed
equivalent to 45 mph. Product

Ea Dual-Gard By-Pass Oil Filtration System
AMSOIL took the performance built
into our standard big truck By-Pass filters, and put
it into a much more convenient and versatile pacakge.
Proof From the Test Labs
Wear tests have shown particles of
contamination in the sub-20-micron range are most
harmful to rings and bearings. Most trucks are sold
with a full-flow filter as their only oil cleasnsing
unit. A study by the Milwaukee School of Engineering
determined the filtering efficiency of four top-selling
full-flow filters compared with a BE-90 AMSOIL Ea
Spin-On Bypass Filter. The graph (below) shows the
By-Pass functioning at 97.6% efficiency in removing
particles as small as 3 microns, a feat no full-flow
filter can match.

Ea Dual-Gard By-Pass
Oil Filtration System
The AMSOIL Ea Dual Gard
By-Pass Oil Filtration System treats oil to ultrafine
filtration, which increases engine and oil life
and enhances engine performance. By-Pass Filter
elements also remove water. Water removal inhibits
the formation of acids, rust and sludge. Product

AMSOIL Ea Dual-Remote Oil Filtration System |

The AMSOIL Ea Dual-Remote Oil Filtration
System
For Optimum OIL FILTRATION and Maximum SERVICE
ACCESSIBILITY
The AMSOIL Ea Dual Remote
Oil Filtration System replaces the standard full-flow
system with a combination full-flow/by-pass system
using a remote mounting assembly.
The mount couples an AMSOIL
Ea Oil Filter with an AMSOIL Ea Spin-On By-Pass Filter;
it takes oil from the engine and returns it without
the use of multiple fittings or extra return holes
in the oil pan or valve cover. The mount and
filters are installed in an accessible area of the
engine compartment.
A specially-manufactured,
spin-on casting with threading adapters is simply
screwed onto the engine block's filter nipple, replacing
the old full-flow filter. In-and-out ports in
the casting and two flexible oil lines connect this
adapter to the remote mount.
Remote placement of the
filtration units allows larger oil filters to be used,
and increases sump capacity - dramatically extending
the oil's useful service life and protecting your
wise investment in AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oil.
The recommended replacement interval for the AMSOIL
Ea By-Pass Oil Filter is 25,000 miles or one year
(whichever comes first).

Ea Dual Remote Oil
Filtration System
The AMSOIL Ea By-Pass Oil
Filter provides the best possible filtration protection
against wear, oil degradation, rust and corrosion.
Working in conjunction with the engine’s full-flow
oil filter, the AMSOIL Ea By-Pass Filter operates
by filtering oil on a "partial-flow" basis. It
draws approximately ten percent of the oil at
any one time and traps the extremely small, wear-causing
contaminants and water that full-flow filters
can’t remove. The AMSOIL Ea By-Pass Filter typically
filters all the oil in the system several times
an hour, so the engine continuously receives analytically
clean oil. Product
