High Performance Air Filters Increase Horsepower and Gas Mileage
How to Improve Performance and Gas Mileage Step 1
 

A clogged air filter can reduce gas mileage and power as much as 10%, and standard filters can become clogged in only a few thousand miles. The right high performance filters increase horsepower, fuel economy, and last much longer than stock air filters.

High Performance AMSOIL Air Filters

• Increases Performance and Gas Mileage
• Three Times the Air Flow of Standard Filters
• Holds 15 Times More Dirt than Oiled Gauze
• Guaranteed to Last 100,000 Miles
• Easy to clean

AMSOIL Air filters incorporate a specially constructed cellulose media with exclusive synthetic nanofibers applied to the surface. Dust and dirt particles are trapped on the nanofiber surface, preventing them from lodging in the filter media depth and clogging the filter. These filters can be easily cleaned and reused.

Standard filters use cellulose fibers which are larger than nanofibers, and have larger spaces between the fibers, causing dirt to get trapped in the depth of the filter and plug the airflow path, resulting in higher restriction and lower fuel economy.

Air Filter Basics

INJEN / AMSOIL AIR INTAKE SYSTEMS

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.

Revolutionary Technology
The new 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 in 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
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 airflow of filters that use cellulose media alone.

Holds More Dirt
AMSOIL Ea Air Filters hold up to five 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/one-year motor oil drain interval, adding even more convenience for motorists by consolidating routine maintenance.

High Quality WIX Filters
AMSOIL also carries the complete line of high quality WIX filters. If an AMSOIL Ea filter is not available for your vehicle a WIX filter will be specified. We have filters for nearly every vehicle.
