Nano Fiber Technology: This is the world’s most advanced filtration system. It has higher efficiency, greater capacity, superior flow, extended service intervals, and reduced maintenance costs. Nanofiber technology has been used exclusively in heavy duty applications, including the US ARMY Abrams M1 tank. Amsoil brought this technology to the auto and light truck market. Nanofiber is a phrase generally referring to a fiber with openings of material less than one micron diameter. Cellulose fibers, on the other hand are larger than nano fibers and have larger spaces between the fibers, causing contaminants to load in the depth of the filter media and plug the airflow path, resulting in higher restriction and less capacity. Amsoil EA Air Filters incorporate a specially constructed cellulose media with synthetic nano fibers applied to the surface. Dust and submicron particles are trapped on the nanofiber surface, preventing them form lodging in the filter media depth. Dirt is a leading cause of engine wear and failure. Heat is the other culprit.
An engine needs air in order for combustion to occur, but if the air drawn in through the induction system is loaded with contaminants engine wear is occurring. There are over 400 tons of suspended dirt and other contaminants in a cubic mile of air over a typical city. The concentration can be even higher in rural areas where there is frequent travel on unpaved roads. The dirt and contaminants drawn into an engine are the leading cause of tired engines using excessive fuel and the burning of engine oil
