AMSOIL Ea Air Filters represent a major breakthrough in filtration technology. For the first time,
revolutionary nanofiber technology is available to the auto/light truck market. Nanofiber technology has
been used exclusively in heavy duty applications, including the US ARMY Abrams M1 tank. AMSOIL
has brought this technology to the auto/light truck market. AMSOIL Ea Air Filters provide the absolute
best filtration for AMSOIL customers and major opportunity for AMSOIL Dealers, and with an
unmatched four-year/100,000-mile guarantee, AMSOIL Ea Air Filters save money! Revolutionary
Technology Nanofiber is a phrase generally referring to a fiber with a diameter less than one micron.
Cellulose fibers, on the other hand, 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, resulting in
higher restriction and less capacity. AMSOIL Ea Air Filters incorporate a specially constructed cellulose
media with synthetic nanofibers applied to the surface. Dust and submicron particles are trapped on
the nanofiber surface, preventing them from lodging in the filter media depth. Here’s how it works:
Imagine two filtration media, a chain link fence and a mosquito net. Each is required to stop
contaminants, in this case tennis balls. A tennis ball will fit quite nicely into an opening of a
chain link fence, but will obstruct the hole almost 100 percent. Now, imagine a tennis ball covering a
mosquito net. The tennis ball, at the point of contact with the netting, will obstruct much less filter area
than the chain link fence example. In fact, air will flow around the tennis ball all the way to
the point of contact. It will take many more particles to obstruct the netting surface area than the chain
link fence.
Air Filter Basics
An engine needs air in order for combustion to occur, but the air drawn in through the induction system
is loaded with contaminants. There are over 400 tons of suspended dirt and other contaminants in a
cubic mile of air over a typical city. The concentration can be even higher in rural areas where there
is frequent travel on unpaved roads. The dirt and contaminants drawn into an engine are the leading
cause of engine wear. The function of the air filter is to trap and hold these wear causing contaminants
without restricting air flow. As the filter traps more and more contaminants, air flow becomes restricted,
smothering the engine and diminishing performance. The more wear causing contaminants a filtration
media traps and the more contaminants the filtration media holds, while still allowing optimum air flow,
the better the filtration media is. The nanofiber technology used in AMSOIL Ea Filters surpasses all
other technology in efficiency, capacity and service life. With AMSOIL Ea Air Filters, dust and submicron
particles remain on the surface and are trapped on top of the nanofibers, preventing particles from
lodging in the filter media depth. This produces higher efficiency and higher capacity which extends
engine and filter life and reduces engine wear.
Ea Air Filters Capture More Dirt
Efficiency is the ability of a filter to stop dirt and other airborne contaminants from entering the engine.
The more efficient a filter is, the more dirt and contaminants it stops. Extensive testing proves that
AMSOIL Ea Air Filters are more efficient than cellulose and wet gauze air filters.
Allows More Air Flow
Proper air flow is vital to maximize performance and engine life. Air is required to release the energy
from the fuel being used. It takes 1,200 cubic feet of air to combust one gallon of gasoline. Inadequate
air flow can cause serious loss of power, poor performance and excessive fuel consumption. Tests
show that AMSOIL Ea Air Filters have more than three times the air flow of filters that use cellulose
media alone.
Holds More Dirt
A filter’s ability to contain trapped contaminants determines how well an engine will run and how long
the filter will remain effective. If the capacity is too low, the filter will have to be replaced constantly.
When the filter is full, air cannot pass through at the rate necessary for proper engine performance.
AMSOIL Ea Air Filters hold up to 2.5 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. The capacity is so great, in fact, that the new AMSOIL Ea Air Filters remain
effective for a full 25,000 miles or one year before cleaning. This coincides with the AMSOIL 25,000-
mile/oneyear motor oil drain interval, adding even more convenience for motorists by consolidating
routine maintenance.
AMSOIL Ea Oil Filters feature advanced full synthetic nanofiber technology, making them the highest
efficiency filters that are available for the auto/light truck market. AMSOIL is also the first in the industry
to offer a full synthetic media in a cartridge style filter.
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 flow of oil, 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. 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 Ea Oil Filters provides filtering efficiency to 98.7 percent
at 15 microns. Ea Oil 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 Ea Oil Filters have 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 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.
Improved 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 Ea Oil 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. AMSOIL EaBP Filters are high efficiency by-pass filters that also remove soot.
They provide the ultimate in protection against wear, oil degradation and corrosion.
By-pass Basics
By-pass oil filtration features a secondary filter with the purpose of eliminating nearly all contaminants
in engine oil. They have high capacities and eliminate much smaller particles than full-flow filters,
including soot. By-pass filters reduce engine wear and increase oil volume, but their high efficiencies
mean they also have higher restriction and must be used in conjunction with a full-flow filter.
By-pass filters operate by filtering oil on a “partial-flow” basis. They draw approximately 10 percent of
the oil pump’s capacity at any one time and trap the extremely small, wearcausing contaminants that
full-flow filters can’t remove. Bypass filters have a high pressure differential, causing the oil to
flow through them very slowly and allowing for the removal of smaller contaminants. It is called by-pass
filtration because the oil flows from the by-pass filter back to the sump and bypasses the engine. This
continual process will eventually make all of the oil analytically clean, reduces long-term wear
and can extend drain intervals.
Higher Efficiency
EaBP Filters provide higher filtering efficiency, soot removal and increased oil capacity due to new
media composition and configuration. AMSOIL EaBP Filters have an efficiency of 98.7 percent at two
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.
Superior Construction
The superior construction of AMSOIL EaBP Filters provides better sealing and increased longevity
along with superior corrosion resistance.
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, not to exceed 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.
Increased Oil Capacity
The increased fluid system capacity and filtration life provides improved oil cooling and ensures that
equipment constantly runs on clean oil. Engine efficiency is increased and engine life is extended
significantly.
Soot Removal
AMSOIL has designed a new high-efficiency by-pass filter element that is also a soot removal device.
AMSOIL Ea By-pass Filters use a synthetic/cellulose sandwiched media. The inner layer of the element
is composed of a highly efficient cellulose media covered with a full synthetic media outer layer. These
filters remove 39 percent of soot contaminants less than one micron. Soot removal efficiency can
increase approximately 10 to 14 percent when the EaBP Filters is used in conjunction with
a standard full-flow filter, even higher in conjunction with Ea Oil Filters or Donaldson Endurance™
filters.
The Dangers of Soot
The combustion process in diesel engines creates soot. After fuel is injected, combustion occurs with
soot as a by-product of the process, and the combustion particulates become trapped on the exposed
oil film. The rings wipe the particulates into the oil and the fine particulates aggregate, increasing levels
of soot in the oil. Oil with dispersant additives will generally keep soot in the range of 0.002 to 0.5
microns in suspension; detergent additives prevent the build-up of sludge and act as an acid
neutralizer, keeping soot in the range of 0.5 to 1.5 microns in suspension. These anti-wear additives
work by providing a sacrificial chemical-to-chemical barrier. As the amount of soot suspended
in the oil increases, the performance of these additives decreases.
Soot Causes Wear
As an oil’s soot dispersant additive levels increase, wear reducing additives become less effective. This
creates a direct linear correlation between wear and soot concentration; the higher the concentration of
soot, the higher the level of wear. Today’s oil manufacturers are extending oil life by holding
higher concentrations of contaminants, including soot, in suspension in the oil. They are also
increasing fuel economy by reducing oil viscosity and oil film thickness, therefore reducing
the critical contaminant size. This further necessitates the use of by-pass filtration, especially in diesel
engines.
Quality Construction
AMSOIL EaBP Filters have a marine powder coated exterior. Their zinc-dichromate base plates
increase rust protection, and are compatible with existing AMSOIL by-pass filter mounts. EaBP Filters
have a nitrile HNBR gasket and an orange silicone anti-drain valve. The two stage pleated and layered
cellulose/full-synthetic media has an efficiency rating of 98.7 percent at two microns.
EaBP Vital Statistics
AMSOIL offers three by-pass filters; the EaBP-90, EaBP-100 and EaBP-110. All vehicles and
applications that can accept the AMSOIL BMK-11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17 and 18 filter mounts can
use the EaBP Filters. Per AMSOIL by-pass installation instructions, AMSOIL recommends by-pass
filters be mounted as close to vertical as possible. The filters are equipped with an antidrain
back valve in the event they are mounted at an angle.
Who Uses By-pass Filtration?
By-pass filtration comes standard on all heavy-duty turbo diesel engine applications from OEMs such
as Cummins, Mack and many more. It has been available as standard equipment or as an option from
OEMs like Caterpillar, John Deere, Case and others, but it isn’t just for heavy-duty diesel operators.
By-pass filtration is a valuable commodity for anyone that wants to extend drain intervals and prolong
engine life. It is also beneficial to vehicles that are exposed to high levels of contaminants on a regular
basis.
revolutionary nanofiber technology is available to the auto/light truck market. Nanofiber technology has

the nanofiber surface, preventing them from lodging in the filter media depth. Here’s how it works:
Imagine two filtration media, a chain link fence and a mosquito net. Each is required to stop
contaminants, in this case tennis balls. A tennis ball will fit quite nicely into an opening of a
chain link fence, but will obstruct the hole almost 100 percent. Now, imagine a tennis ball covering a
mosquito net. The tennis ball, at the point of contact with the netting, will obstruct much less filter area
than the chain link fence example. In fact, air will flow around the tennis ball all the way to
the point of contact. It will take many more particles to obstruct the netting surface area than the chain

The more efficient a filter is, the more dirt and contaminants it stops. Extensive testing proves that
AMSOIL Ea Air Filters are more efficient than cellulose and wet gauze air filters.
Allows More Air Flow

from the fuel being used. It takes 1,200 cubic feet of air to combust one gallon of gasoline. Inadequate
air flow can cause serious loss of power, poor performance and excessive fuel consumption. Tests
show that AMSOIL Ea Air Filters have more than three times the air flow of filters that use cellulose
media alone.

A filter’s ability to contain trapped contaminants determines how well an engine will run and how long
the filter will remain effective. If the capacity is too low, the filter will have to be replaced constantly.

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.
