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.
Provide 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.
Improve 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.
Form 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
(see
Air Filter Installation and Servicing Info Page)
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. There is also
an Online
Filter Lookup Guide. 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
(see
Air Filter Installation and Servicing Info Page)
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.
1. Remove AMSOIL air filter
from air filter housing.
2. Wipe housing free of dirt
and debris.
3. Carefully remove polyurethane
foam from metal cage of AMSOIL air filter. (Note:
foam is not removable on planar-style filters.)
4. Wash polyurethane foam in
detergent and water (Alternate method: Wash
filter in parts cleaning solution). Rinse in
clean water. Allow foam to dry thoroughly.
5. Apply AMSOIL Foam Filter
Oil liberally on polyurethane foam. Squeeze
foam repeatedly until oil penetrates its entire
thickness.
6. AMSOIL Foam Filter Oil is
specifically formulated for AMSOIL air filters.
It is designed to trap and hold dirt effectively,
even in temperature extremes.
7. Blot excess oil from polyurethane
foam and reinstall foam on metal cage.
8. 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):
1. Install at either positive
cranking ventilation (PCV) inlet or air inlet
to filter housing (where applicable).
2. Install deflector under edge
of polyurethane foam only. Do not push deflector
under metal cage. |
