BUY NOW – Buy Amsoil EA Filters

AMSOIL Ea Oil Filters (EaO, Ea15K)

feature advanced full-synthetic Nanofiber technology and rank among the most efficient filters available for the auto/light-truck market. Ea Oil Filters provide a filtering efficiency in accordance with industry standard ISO 4548-12 of 98.7 percent at 15 microns, while competitive filters containing conventional cellulose media range from 40 to 80 percent efficiency at 15 microns. When used in conjunction with AMSOIL eaofiltersynthetic motor oils, AMSOIL Ea Oil Filters are guaranteed for extended service life:

• Ea Filters designated with product code Ea15K are recommended for 15,000 miles/one year, whichever comes first, in normal or severe service.

• Ea Filters designated with product code EaO are recommended for 25,000 miles/one year, whichever comes first, in normal service or 15,000 miles/one year, whichever comes first, in severe service.

Modern engine design trends have resulted in some vehicles that present multiple challenges to filtration engineers, especially those who are focused on delivering extended service life. In order to remain serviceable for an extended period, a filter must ensure adequate capacity while maintaining sufficient efficiency throughout the specified interval. This is often accomplished in part through the use of high efficiency media and a slightly larger can to increase capacity.

Barriers to Extended Service

Vehicle manufacturers are under tremendous pressure to provide fuel efficient vehicles that produce fewer emissions than their predecessors. In fact, government mandates require automakers to meet specific fuel efficiency and emissions benchmarks or face steep monetary penalties. Vehicle original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) employ a variety of techniques to improve efficiency and reduce emissions, and nearly all of them negatively impact motor oil and oil filtration.

Smaller Sumps, Smaller Filters, More Contaminants

To meet the demand for greater efficiency, OEMs are offering smaller, more aerodynamic cars. They have also introduced several new engine technologies designed to deliver greater power out of smaller, more fuel-efficient engines, which often rely on turbos or unique fuel injection systems that can increase the amount of contaminants introduced into the oil. As these cars have become smaller, engine compartments have become too tight to use a filter of increased size. This, coupled with the trend toward smaller oil sumps in many of these applications, results in an extremely challenging task for oil filters.

Additional Contaminant Generation

To meet the demand for reduced emissions, OEMs are applying a number of methods, including exhaust gas recirculation (EGR). EGR works by recycling a small amount of spent exhaust gas back into the combustion chamber. Some of the side-effects of EGR include less-efficient combustion, increased temperatures and increased acids; all of which add to the oil filter’s workload.

AMSOIL Overcomes Obstacles

For some of these applications extending the service life of the oil filter would seem impossible. Smaller sump sizes, some historically sludgy engines and smaller filter sizes, combined with increased contaminants in the engine oil, present a serious challenge to filtration engineers. AMSOIL has overcome all those obstacles with its introduction of 15,000-mile Ea Oil Filters (EA15K). There are 11 15,000-mile Ea Filters in all, including some that were previously available as 25,000-mile filters. While AMSOIL has had no issues with these filters, the engine technologies used in the vehicles to which they apply are simply too demanding on an oil filter to continue offering 25,000-mile intervals. Also included in the group of 15,000- mile Ea Oil Filters are a number of filters (EA15K09, EA15K10, EA15K13) that were either discontinued or available only at OEM-recommended intervals due to the engine design issues outlined in AMSOIL Technical Service Bulletins FL-2009-05-01 and FL-2010-04-01.

15,000-Mile Ea Oil Filter Notes

Ea Oil Filters recommended for 15,000-mile service intervals are designated by the product code EA15K. These filters have been redesigned, but still feature the same premium Nanofiber synthetic media as their 25,000-mile counterparts. In addition to some slight packaging modifications, AMSOIL has identified existing Ea Oil Filters moving from 25,000- to 15,000-mile intervals by placing stickers on the boxes.

AMSOIL Quickshot SE Awarded Best New Powersports Product by SEMA Judges

AMSOIL Quickshot SE Awarded Best New Powersports Product by SEMA Judges

Buy NOW! Quickshot SE – More Information

AMSOIL Quickshot SE Fuel Additive has been granted the Best New Powersports Product award for 2011 at the SEMA Show at the Las Vegas Convention Center.  This year, over 2,000 new products were submitted for consideration of this distinctive honor in various categories. In determining the winners, judges looked for superiority of innovation, technical achievement, quality, consumer appeal and marketability.

Quick Shot SEQuickshot SE Wins SEMA Award

AMSOIL Quickshot SE is a premium fuel additive formulated to clean and restore optimal performance in small engine and powersports equipment fuel systems. It acts as a fuel stabilizer between uses and short-term storage and helps prevent damaging corrosion.  Its revolutionary formulation focuses on three major fuel-related issues common in small engine equipment: ethanol, water and dirty gasoline.

AMSOIL Quickshot SE is designed to keep water dispersed throughout the fuel tank, moving it out and decreasing the chance of ethanol separating from the gasoline. Moisture finding its way into gas tanks through condensation is dispersed in tiny molecules and safely moved out of the tank through the combustion chamber.  The lack of additives in today’s gasoline can cause fuel system gumming and varnish, creating deposits on critical components. AMSOIL Quickshot SE cleans hard to remove deposits on pistons, spark plugs, injectors, carburetors and other combustion chamber parts to maintain peak operating power.

AMSOIL Quickshot SE is recommended for use in all two-and four-stroke gasoline powered engines including motorcycles, snowmobiles, personal watercraft,  boats, ATV’s, edgers, tillers, mowers, snow blowers, chain saws, generators and farm and construction equipment.

Degraded fuel presents a major maintenance issue in small engines and powersports equipment. It can form varnish, gum and insoluble debris that clog carburetors, fuel injectors and fuel filters. Carbon buildup can form on the tops of pistons that leads to pre-ignition, rough idling and poor throttle response. Fuel-related problems are only expected to intensify in the coming years as the ethanol content in pump gasoline continues to increase.
AMSOIL Quickshot SE (AQS) is a premium fuel additive formulated to thoroughly clean and restore peak performance in small engine and powersports equipment fuel systems. It also stabilizes fuel between uses and during short-term storage periods. Its revolutionary technology focuses on three major fuel-related issues plaguing small engines and powersports equipment: ethanol, water and dirty pump gas.

Hot Cool-Blue Stang Project Car On Display At SEMA

Hot Cool-Blue Stang Project Car On Display At SEMA

FREE Amsoil Catalog 

With the 2010 SEMA show just days away, the AMSOIL/Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords 2011 Mustang GT is lookin’ good. This special project Mustang that will be on display in the Source Interlink Media booth during the 2010 SEMA show in Las Vegas.
In just two months time, the MM & FF staff transformed the Kona Blue ’11 GT from a stock Mustang with 412hp, into a street-legal, drag race monster capable of over 650 horsepower and 10-second quarter-mile times. The new 5.0L Ti-VCT V-8 has been enhanced by Blow-By Racing with a Ford Racing Performance Parts supercharger kit with a custom tune. Then they installed a 175hp shot of nitrous from NOS in our own SIM Tech Center. Of course the powertrain benefits from AMSOIL fluids throughout. And with more air and gas going in, they installed Kook’s latest headers and exhaust system with catalytic converters and slick tail pipes.

Along with the go, the AMSOIL/MM&FF GT has plenty of show. Paul Holman of Visualfxpaint.com, sprayed the Roush wing, front fascia, and Cervini’s hood with a racy scheme including bright blue “real fire” effects. Amazingly, all the logos, colors and stripes on the body are hand painted!
With the paint complete, the GT was back in our SIM Tech Center in Tampa where the rest of the work was completed. The SEMA Stang rides on new Weld Magnum wheels with Moroso and Nitto rubber meeting the road. Strange brakes and coil-over struts compete the front suspension and BBR and BMR parts make up the rear suspension. There is even detail under the hood and a slathering of modification to the interior as well including Corbeau seats, a Maximum Motorsports roll bar, twin carbon fiber nitrous bottles and much more.

If you’re “in the neighborhood” be sure to check it out. Booth 22743
