AMSOIL Oil Filters
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 Introduces Ea Oil Filters with Nanofiber Technology!
Another Revolutionary Step for Automotive
and Light Truck Applications
Ea Oil Filters
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 are 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.
Development of this new filter involved partnerships
with global filtration industry leaders. The collaborative
effort was orchestrated by AMSOIL with the aim of producing a
filter unsurpassed in efficiency and service life.
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.
Fast Fact:
A nanofiber is less than one micron in diameter. A human
hair is 80 microns.
