Amsoil Air Filter


I found out they cost alot but it looks to me as the very best money can buy.

Are there any Amsoil fans here that can tell me more?
 
They have shown well in the Nissan VQ, which is dirt sucker, at reducing overall dirt via UOA.

That being said Ive been fine in all other apps with K&Ns, which are hated here about as much as Royal Purple.

Seems like Amsoil has finally intorduced an air filter that I am not disappointed with. Their partnership with Wix in producing these EaA filters for them has been a big part of that, I believe. Their previous attempts at making their own air filters showed a lot of room for improvement, based on my own experience with them.

These new filters are using a synthetic media that allows for better air flow over a longer period of time, while also providing higher efficiency (smaller particle removal) than most conventional and cotton-gauze medias. Cleaning the filter is quite easy and takes only a few minutes. There is no washing or oiling of the media like previous filters. The fit and durability has been very good so far on the one I'm using. I read that this type of synthetic media is used in some military applications like the M1 Abrams tank air filter due to its higher performance in dusty battlefield conditions.

Cost seems kinda high, but if you can effectively use it for 100k miles or more, then it's not so bad a deal. We'll see.

Arent the Ea's in partnership with Donaldson?
 
I know mine is built well and seems to filter pretty well. No evidence to support that beyond a clean airbox after the filter.
 
I replaced my stock paper air filter with an Amsoil EaA filter. UOA silicon dropped substantially and a slight hesitation on acceleration completely disappeared. I'm happy so far. I also use their nanofiber oil filters. No noticeable difference yet, but if they work as well as the air filters, I should get considerably more life from the engine. Only time will tell.

Yes. The Amsoil EA filters use filter media made by Donaldson.

From everything I've heard these are very good filters, and I would buy one for my truck if they made one

I hear ya there. I’m currently in the process of retrofitting an Amsoil Universal Aftermarket replacement filter to my Honda Civic. Amsoil does not currently make an OE replacement filter for that application; if they did, I have it.

Is it green? *RALPH*
 
I liked that video. But it sure seems that if the outside layer of media got coated with dirt and dust that it would restrict the airflow more that particles scattered thruout the filter.

?
 
I would rather spend $10 on a Purolator and change it every 15K than keep an amsoil in my car for 100K
 
It isn't the price vs mileage issue as much as it is the better filtering ability. If it does in fact filter much better.
 
I'm a preferred Amsoil customer so the discounted cost of a EA air filter for my Tacoma was $26 which isn't too bad.
I believe the list price is $34 though.
 
I have used the AMSoil air filters before to replace my K&Ns once I found out how poorly they filtered (most were in high flow intake setups and such). Nice quality replacement.

Cheaper in the long run than paper.
