AMSOIL Ea Air Filters are a major breakthrough in air filtration technology. The revolutionary nanofiber technology used in AMSOIL Ea Air Filters capture more dirt, holds more dirt and allows better air flow than conventional air filters. AMSOIL Ea Air Filters improve engine performance and help engines last longer.
Available for cars and light trucks, AMSOIL Ea Air Filters are reusable and cleanable and are much easier to clean than those messy, washable air filters — simply clean with a vacuum or shop air. AMSOIL Ea Air Filters have a service life of 100,000 miles or 4 years, whichever comes first.
AMSOIL Ea Air Filters rank among the highest efficiency air filters available to the auto and light truck market. Their synthetic nanofiber media removes 5 times more dust than traditional cellulose media alone and 50 times more dust than wet gauze air filter media!
Filtration testing at numerous test facilities provided data that substantiates a near perfect absolute efficiency rating for AMSOIL Ea Air Filters, hence the name. The name Ea is derived from the formula for test method ISO 5011, which deals with performance testing of air cleaning equipment for internal combustion engines. Ea stands for Absolute Efficiency; the formula is printed on the box.

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 dirt and contaminants drawn into an engine are the leading cause of engine wear.
The air filter is the first line of defense against the abrasive airborne grit that can cause engine damage. But in order to do the job right, an air filter must effectively filter the dangerous particles out of incoming air without obstructing the vital flow of air to the engine. 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.
Revolutionary Nanofiber Technology
Nanofiber technology has been used exclusively in heavy-duty applications, including the US ARMY Abrams M1 tank. AMSOIL has brought this technology to the car and light truck market, another first for AMSOIL! Nanofiber is a phrase generally referring to a fiber with a diameter less than one micron. The revolutionary nanofiber technology used in AMSOIL Ea Air Filters surpasses all other technology, capturing more dirt, holding more dirt, and allowing better air flow and a longer service life than conventional air filters.
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.
Improves Engine Performance, Extends Engine Life
AMSOIL Ea Air Filters incorporate a specially constructed cellulose media with exclusive synthetic nanofibers applied to the surface. Synthetic nanofibers have submicron diameters and small inter-fiber spaces. As in the example mentioned above, the synthetic nanofibers in an AMSOIL Ea Air Filter trap dust and submicron particles on the filter's surface, preventing them from lodging in the filter media depth, resulting in more contaminants being captured and less air restriction. This is what sets AMSOIL Ea Air Filters apart from conventional air filters in efficiency, capacity and air flow. Better dirt removal and better air flow translates into reduced engine wear, longer engine life, better engine performance and better fuel economy. And greater capacity translates into cost savings and longer service life.
High Filter Efficiency
Filter efficiency is a 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. Air filters with poor efficiency fail to trap a significant portion of particles large enough to damage the engine.
Extensive testing proves that AMSOIL Ea Air Filters are the most efficient filters available to the car and light truck market. As shown on the graph, AMSOIL Ea Air Filter's synthetic nanofiber media removes 5 times more dust than traditional cellulose filter media alone and 50 times more dust than wet gauze filter media.
Greater Filter Capacity
Filter capacity is the amount of contaminants a filter media can hold without loss of air flow and filtration. A filter's ability to contain trapped contaminants determines how well an engine will run and how long the filter will remain effective. When the filter is full, air cannot pass through at the rate necessary for proper engine performance. Air filters with poor capacity will have to be replaced constantly.
As shown on the graph, AMSOIL Ea Air Filters hold up to 2.5 times more contaminants than cellulose air filters and 15 times more contaminants than a wet gauze filter. 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. The capacity of AMSOIL Ea Air Filters is so great, in fact, that they remain effective for a full 25,000 miles or one year before cleaning.
Better Air Flow Improves Fuel Economy
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, for increased performance and fuel economy. Although the wet gauze filter provided slightly better air flow, it allowed a lot more dirt to flow through and it didn't have anywhere near the dirt-holding capacity, as you can see on the graphs above.
As shown in the photo, cellulose fibers are larger than nanofibers and have larger spaces between the fibers, causing the contaminants to load inside the depth of the media and plug the airflow path, resulting in higher restriction and less capacity. AMSOIL Ea Air Filters allow more airflow than filters that use cellulose media alone. The synthetic nanofibers in the Ea filter media have submicron diameters and small interfiber spaces, which result in more contaminants being captured on the surface of the media and less air restriction.
Reusable, Cleanable for 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. AMSOIL Ea Air 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 change interval (see AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oils) adding even more convenience for motorists by consolidating routine maintenance. (See cleaning instructions below.)
Saves Money - Good for the Environment
Buying an AMSOIL Ea Air Filter makes good old-fashioned dollar sense because it will save you money. It is easily cleaned and reused and is designed for years of dependable service. As you can see on the chart below, one AMSOIL Ea Air Filter costs only slightly more than conventional cellulose air filters, but it lasts eight times times longer. Conventional cellulose filters must be thrown away and replaced every six months, which is quite costly. Over a four-year period, an AMSOIL Ea Air Filter can save you as much as 424%! And, not only does an AMSOIL Ea Air Filter pay for itself, there are also fewer dirty air filters to throw away, which is better for the environment! See the savings below:

Applications
AMSOIL Ea Air Filters provide superior air filtration for cars and light trucks. The AMSOIL Online Product Application Guide will help you find the correct air filter for your car or truck.
How to Clean — Much Easier to Clean Than Washable Air Filters!
AMSOIL Ea Air 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.
