AMSOIL INC. revolutionized the filtration industry with its introduction of AMSOIL Ea Air and Ea Oil Filters.

   For the first time exclusive nanofiber technology – the same technology used in the Abrams M1 tank and other heavy duty applications – was made available for automotive applications.  Now, AMSOIL has made this outstanding new technology available for motorcycles.

   An engine requires air for combustion, 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 from the air are the leading causes 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 holds, while still allowing optimum air flow, the better the filtration media.

   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 in the nanofibers, preventing particles from lodging in the filter media depth.  This produces higher efficiency and higher capacity, extending engine and filter life and reducing engine wear.

   The filtration media in the Ea Motorcycle Air Filter is pleated and has epoxy-coated wire on the face and back of the media for additional strength and stiffness.  High quality plastisol potting compounds bond the pleat packs to the plastic or aluminum side plates.  The S&S (aftermarket engine and carburetor manufacturer) style round filters are manufactured with high-quality plastisol that bonds the media to the wire backing and sealing area.

   The synthetic nanofiber media featured in AMSOIL Ea Motorcycle Air Filters have sub-micron diameters and small inter-fiber spaces, resulting in more contaminants being captured on the surface of the media and lower restriction.  Cellulose, wetted gauze and foam filters have larger spaces between the media that cause contaminants to load in the depth of the filter, resulting in airflow path plugging, higher restriction and lower capacity.

   AMSOIL Ea Motorcycle Air Filters are cleanable, providing unsurpassed protection and long service life.  AMSOIL Ea Motorcycle Air Filters should be cleaned every year or according to operating conditions.  Operation in extremely dusty or dirty environments may require more frequent cleaning. Ea Motorcycle Air Filters should be changed every four years.

   AMSOIL Ea Motorcycle Air Filters are cleaned in the same manner as AMSOIL Ea Air Filters for cars and light trucks: with a vacuum or shop air.  To clean with a vacuum, place the filter on a flat surface

and carefully vacuum the filter media on the dirty side where the incoming airflow enters the filter.  To clean with shop air, hold the filter with one hand and carefully blow the filter media at a 45-degree angle

on the clean side of the filter using low-pressure (15 to 20 psi) shop air. Using too much air pressure will damage the filter media.

   AMSOIL is producing an initial offering of eight Ea Motorcycle Air Filters manufactured for the most popular Harley Davidson models from the years 1988 to 2006, including motorcycles equipped with S&S carburetors and air cleaner housings.

   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.

   Ea Motorcycle Oil Filters feature a specially constructed silicone anti-drainback valve and a nitrile sealing gasket to go along with the full-synthetic Ea nanofiber media.  The anti-drainback valve provides excellent protection during startup and remains flexible in all temperatures, and the nitrile sealing gasket resists chemical breakdown, providing excellent durability and ensuring long filter life.

   AMSOIL Ea Motorcycle Oil Filters are fluted for easy removal from the motorcycle and are available in a chrome-plated alternative to the normal black filters.

   The unique construction and full-synthetic media of AMSOIL Ea Motorcycle Oil Filters allow them to provide unmatched performance in motorcycles and other power sports equipment.  EaOM Filters last longer, stop smaller dirt particles and offer less restriction than other filters. Ea Motorcycle Oil Filters provide filtering efficiency of 98.7 percent at 15 microns, outperforming the best cellulose/synthetic blend media on the market.

   AMSOIL Ea Motorcycle Oil Filters provide unsurpassed protection for motorcycles, ATVs, four-stroke personal watercraft, four-stroke snowmobiles and four-stroke outboards.  AMSOIL is producing an initial offering of 16 Ea Motorcycle Oil Filters manufactured for the most popular power sports applications. Eight of the 16 filters are chrome plated.
