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
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.
