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.
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 5 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.
