Find the Filter That Fits Your Vehicle
Ea Filter Cross Reference Guide
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 five 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.
