AIR FILTERS
- Cleanable and re-usable - saves money on replacement filters
- Full-depth filtration - stops and holds more dirt than conventional
paper air filters
- Improves airflow characteristics - up to 50% more air flow than
pleated-paper
- Helps extend engine life - effectively eliminates wear-causing
airborne contaminants
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL
oil-wetted foam air filters keep oils and engines cleaner for longer
periods with the most effective air filtration available today. AMSOIL air
filters provide superior performance in all three critical areas of
filtration: efficiency (dirt-stopping), capacity (dirt-holding) and
resistance (air flow). AMSOIL air filters are uniquely designed to hold
wear-causing dirt while allowing only clean air into the engine for better
performance, better fuel economy, lower exhaust emissions and longer
engine life. Also, AMSOIL air filters are washable and reusable for
thousands of miles of trouble-free service. Tests prove AMSOIL air filters
have up to 350 percent greater life expectancy than competitive air
filters.
The
AMSOIL TS Air Filter, for passenger vehicles, features two layers of
oil-wetted polyurethane foam, which provides a network of interlocking
cells that trap particles yet allow a constant flow of clean intake air
for outstanding engine protection and performance.
The
AMSOIL POD Air Filter, for small engines, features an oil-wetted foam
filter element and an inner spring that shakes dirt off the filter and
harmlessly away from the engine.
Provides Full-Depth
Filtration
AMSOIL
TS and POD Air Filters are "full-depth" filters that trap and
hold much more dirt than do conventional "surface-type" filters.
The polyurethane foam used in AMSOIL Air Filters is much thicker than the
thin layer of paper used in conventional filters. The foam’s thickness
allows for more filtering area and more capacity to trap dirt over a
longer period of time.
Improves Air Flow
AMSOIL
air filters allow more air into the engine than conventional air filters
do and better maintain their air flow over the life of the filter. The
intake surface of conventional paper filters quickly becomes obstructed
with dirt, which impedes air flow. AMSOIL air filters distribute dirt
throughout the foam depth, allowing unobstructed air intake to the engine.
Forms a Tight Seal
The
flexible polyurethane foam of AMSOIL air filters provides a consistent,
tight seal between filter and housing. Unlike conventional filters, which
often fail to seal properly due to their hard rubber seal, the foam of
AMSOIL air filters conforms to irregularities on the bottom and top of the
housing, forming a tight seal when the housing is secured. Intake air must
go through the filter before reaching the carburetor.
APPLICATION
AMSOIL
air filters are available for most car and small engine applications. The
AMSOIL "Oil and Air Filters Application Guide" (G-194) is a
comprehensive reference guide covering most makes and models of
automobiles and light trucks. If you cannot find an AMSOIL air filter to
fit your application, please call the AMSOIL Technical Services Department
at (715) 392-7101 for availability and price quotes on filters to fit your
application.
The
AMSOIL POD Air Filter is suited for applications such as motorcycles,
rototillers, small garden tractors, lawn mowers or farm implement
equipment. The AMSOIL POD Air Filter is adjustable to fit carburetor
throats ranging from 1 to 1-7/8 inches. It also has a special adapter for
Briggs & Stratton carburetors. Other throat sizes are available.
SERVICE LIFE
The
service life of AMSOIL air filters can be extended indefinitely when the
following procedures are performed. For normal driving conditions, service
AMSOIL Air Filter every 25,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first.
- Remove AMSOIL air filter from air filter housing.
- Wipe housing free of dirt and debris.
- Carefully remove polyurethane foam from metal cage of AMSOIL air
filter. (Note: foam is not removable on planar-style filters.)
- Wash polyurethane foam in detergent and water (Alternate method:
Wash filter in parts cleaning solution). Rinse in clean water. Allow
foam to dry thoroughly.
- Apply AMSOIL Foam Filter Oil liberally on polyurethane foam. Squeeze
foam repeatedly until oil penetrates its entire thickness.
AMSOIL Foam Filter Oil is specifically formulated for AMSOIL air filters. It is designed to trap and hold dirt effectively, even in temperature extremes. - Blot excess oil from polyurethane foam and reinstall foam on metal
cage.
- Reinstall AMSOIL air filter into air filter housing. Be sure the
label is attached to the outside of the filter housing.
To
install a deflector (if included with filter):
- Install at either positive cranking ventilation (PCV) inlet or air
inlet to filter housing (where applicable).
- Install deflector under edge of polyurethane foam only. Do not push
deflector under metal cage.
