EAoilfilters

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.

Why does the AMSOIL EaO Filter use wire mesh?

The synthetic media needs support.

Will the AMSOIL EaO Filters remove soot?

AMSOIL EaO Filters were designed to meet the filtration needs post EGR engine
development. However, these are full-flow filters and are not designed as a soot control
device.

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.

Can I still purchase AMSOIL SDF Filters?

AMSOIL SDF Filters will be available while supplies last. They are no longer available
for online purchase.

Why are the SDF Filters being phased out?

AMSOIL is continually searching for new and innovative technologies to enhance its
product line. With the advent of the nanofiber filtration media, AMSOIL desired
to be on the cutting edge and provide the most innovative oil filter technology
in the auto/light truck market.

Will SDF Filter warranties still be honored?

Yes, if an SDF Filter is deemed defective in accordance with the AMSOIL filter warranty,
AMSOIL will replace the defective SDF filter with a comparable EaO filter or will credit
the customer’s or Dealer’s account for the purchase price of the SDF filter.

What is AMSOIL’s filter 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.

What kind of vehicles are the AMSOIL EaO Filters designed for?

AMSOIL EaO Filters are designed for cars and light trucks equipped with gasoline
engines and some diesel pickups.

How many EaO Filters are being offered?

AMSOIL will carry 35 EaO Filters for the most popular auto/light truck applications.
AMSOIL will continually study providing filters for additional applications.

If AMSOIL does not offer an EaO filter for my vehicle, what do I do?

AMSOIL will continue to offer other oil filtration products for auto and light truck
applications. AMSOIL will provide name brand filters for most applications that are not
covered by AMSOIL labeled products.

How do I cross reference my current filter or application?

The most up-to-date source for filter application information is the electronic auto/light
truck cross reference guide on the AMSOIL website. All Ea oil and air filters are
included.

What about the auto/light truck filters you do not cross to?

AMSOIL currently has a supplemental line of filters for auto/light truck applications and
will be announcing a new partner to enhance this availability in December.

Note: My recommendation is to use the Ultra Fine Bypass System, using the Ea bypass and Ea full flow
oil filter you only have to change filters not the oil. Longer Lasting - When used in conjunction with
AMSOIL motor oil and an AMSOIL EaO or Donaldson Endurance™ filter, the EaBP should be changed
every other full-flow filter change up to 60,000 miles. When used with other brands of motor oil or full-flow
filters, the EaBP filter should be changed every other full-flow filter change. AMSOIL recommends using oil
analysis when extending oil drain intervals.

Filter Efficiency AMSOIL EaBP Filters have an efficiency of 98.7 percent at two microns, compared to the
AMSOIL BE Filters’ 98.6 percent efficiency at three microns. At normal operating RPMs the EaBP Filter will filter
all of the oil in a typical five quart sump in less than 10 minutes.
