AMSOIL offers
superior lubrication technology for your Duramax Diesel engine. This
extensive webpage
will help you learn how to best care for the Duramax, including the
options for fluid and oil change service intervals, as well as learning what GM and
most servicing dealerships don't want you to know about
AMSOIL synthetic motor oil and filtration technologies. You'll see
recommendations and options for bypass oil filtration systems, and even a
video to demonstrate how easy it is to
take an oil sample
from your truck for analysis
testing. And at the bottom is a special
Duramax Owners
Questions and Answers section - our engineers welcome
your
Duramax questions and
give valuable answers.
This information comes straight from experienced Truck Engineers and Lubrication
Specialists based out of the auto and truck engineering and manufacturing
capital of the world - Detroit, Michigan.
We are diesel
engine, powertrain, chassis and component experts, and are here to help you achieve
optimum performance and longevity from your Duramax truck.
You've spent your hard earned money on the Duramax Diesel option in one of
the most popular and well engineered trucks there is, now don't you think
you owe it to yourself to use the very best oil in it? Your
turbocharger needs a good synthetic oil for long life!
Petroleum oils CAN'T do that job as good. In addition, you need high-performance synthetics throughout your engine and drivetrain to maximize your Duramax fuel economy
and enable you to tow without transmission or differential failures. What should your oil
drain interval be? That depends completely on the performance and
condition of your oil and filtration, which is something you can control.
Don't let your local dealership service center tell you that you you have to use their
brand of oil to "maintain your warranty". That is one of the biggest
untruths we have heard, yet it goes on day in and day out. We
constantly receive calls from customers that were told this by their
servicing dealership. Please be aware that this practice is not
authorized or condoned by the auto manufacturers.
For a servicing dealership to essentially tell a customer that they have to
use a lower quality oil to "maintain their
warranty" is not only wrong but it is also illegal unless they
provide it free of charge. There are Federal laws that protect you against
this. Please read our "Warranty Laws You Need to Know" section of this website
to learn more.
However, the 5W-40
(CJ-4) is recommended for use at the longest GM/Chevy oil-drain interval in the
manual. Due to the lower TBN of the DEO's low ash CJ-4 formulation,
longer drain intervals will require oil analysis sampling until more data
can be collected on extended drain interval performance.
Other AMSOIL benefits include reduced sludge and deposit
formation, extreme temperature protection, improved fuel efficiency and rust
and corrosion prevention - and of course it does not void any new vehicle warranty.
AMSOIL Synthetic Lubricants meet and exceed all API rated and GM
Specifications. In fact, these lubricants are so advanced that they've
typically met/exceeded nearly every OEM manufacturer's published diesel oil test standard,
worldwide, without any reformulation.
What can you expect when changing your
Duramax 6.6L to
Amsoil's superior synthetic diesel oil?
My 2002
Duramax always idled at about 40 psi oil pressure when warm, and pegged
somewhere over 80 psi when first started up. After the engine flush
procedure and change to Amsoil's 15W-40 (the same
viscosity it always had), oil pressure immediately dropped to about 28
psi warm idle, and about 60-80 psi cold. Blending over
time to the 5W-30 AMSOIL HDD, my warm idle pressure has dropped to about 23 psi. Some people
might be alarmed by this lower oil pressure, but it's a great sign:
it means that more oil is
flowing through a cleaner engine - for better lubrication, better
wear protection, better engine cooling - and it's taking
less power (fuel) to pump that oil.
The Secret Power of Nanofiber Bypass Filtration
The BEST option for lowest maintenance costs and downtime is to install an
AMSOIL Dual Remote By-Pass Filtration
System. With this nanofiber technology system you eliminate over
90% of engine wear, and only change your oil when oil
analysis indicates a need. The full flow
EaO filter is changed at 15,000
mile (severe service) or 25,000
mile (normal service) intervals and the
EaBP Bypass
filter is changed at a minimum of
60,000
miles/2 yrs (or longer with oil analysis).
I have over 70,000 miles on the oil
change in my diesel Duramax truck [using the Amsoil Dual Remote Bypass
system], and I do oil sampling analysis.
Look here at one of my 6.6L Duramax oil sample reports and you'll see that I have no TBN
or viscosity problem, and wear rates are very low. And fact is, I probably will never have a
problem, even though I'm changing only my oil filters - not my oil. In
this video I used my own Duramax truck to show you how easy it is to pull an
engine oil sample for analysis:
Oil analysis can also be valuable without bypass filtration. When
using AMSOIL nanofiber Ea Air and Oil filters, analysis will usually
allow extending AMSOIL drain intervals far beyond the guaranteed 15,000
(Severe) or 25,000 mile (Normal Service) drain intervals.
For most
gas or pre-2007 diesel vehicle applications using AMSOIL synthetics and
nanofiber bypass filtration, oil analysis will show that you
NEVER need to change your oil again - even after 500,000 miles!
How is this possible??? Simple: by using oil that is
designed to not break down, and using nanofiber filtration that removes all wear
particles, there is no longer a need to change oil. The oil is so
tough that just topping off the oil level when changing filters is
enough to renew the additive package. This saves a
lot of downtime, as well as money, and uses about 80% less motor oil -
which benefits both your wallet and the environment.
The by-pass filter removes the particles that cause wear in your engine down
to less than one micron (a micron equals 0.001 mm) and keeps the engine oil
analytically clean so you do not need to change your oil for a long time,
while still getting far better protection than someone that changes their
oil every 3000 miles. We are experienced at installing these units on Duramax Diesels and can provide you with exact installation instructions,
tips, a special custom mounting bracket, and photographs of previous installations.
One of the Power Stroke Diesels in our dealer group
has over 84,000 miles on the same oil as of November 2003.
Laboratory oil chemical analysis every 15-20,000 miles indicates the oil is
perfectly suitable for continued service. Other customers have traveled well
over 100,000 miles and oil analysis still indicates no oil change necessary.
We will mail you a copy of this vehicle's oil analysis results with your
product and technical information package so you can see the data for
yourself. My personal Duramax 2500HD CC/SB has the bypass
system and has traveled 77,000 miles with only filter changes, as of April
2008.
Here's one of my 6.6L Duramax oil sample analysis reports.
In addition, the AMSOIL By-Pass filter will also remove up to a
pint of water from your vehicle's lubrication system, which is especially
important in a diesel engine. Without this the water promotes rust,
corrosion and rapid wear. Internal engine heat also creates acids which also
wear the engine components. The water and acids build and continue to work
destroying your engine even after engine shutdown.
Oil analysis provides a big return for a small investment by: extending
equipment life by preventing premature component failure; reducing
maintenance costs by eliminating unnecessary component changes and a
decrease in downtime due to premature scheduled maintenance; enabling
calculation of optimum drain intervals that will reduce lubricant costs and
assure maximum equipment protection.
A regular full flow engine oil filter will only remove wear
particles down to the 20-25 micron range, while an AMSOIL full-flow Ea
filter removes the majority of particles in the 7-20 micron range with 98.7%
first-pass efficiency at 15 microns. But a
full-flow filter simply cannot remove all the finer particles because the
oil must be filtered quickly while removing most of the particles present in
the oil. That leaves some particles below the 20 micron range. A study
completed by Federal Mogul Corp. analyzing over 7000 main and connecting rod
bearings concluded that 60% of all engine wear occurs in the 5-20 micron
range. This is why no matter how much you change your current full flow oil
and filter, regardless of brand, that you still are not removing many of the
particles that cause the greatest wear in your engine.
Extensive testing shows that
AMSOIL Ea Oil Filters
achieve a near-perfect absolute efficiency rating. The exclusive new
technology used in AMSOIL EaO Filters provides filtering efficiency to 98.7
percent at 15 microns, and 50 percent at 7 microns. EaO Filters are the
most efficient full-flow filters that are available for auto/light trucks,
period.
Q: How do EaO filters compare to the full-flow SDF filters that
AMSOIL offered for many years?
A: AMSOIL SDF Filters are not
quite as efficient as an EaO: filtering efficiency was 94.3 percent at 15 microns
and 51.2 percent at 7 microns. The AMSOIL SDF full flow filters
had a finer synthetic cellulose filtration media, 75% greater efficiency
and up to 300% greater capacity than other popular oil filters, as tested
according to the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) HS806 test method. The
new Ea
filters, with nanofiber technology, are even better.
Now, back to considering the new nanofiber bypass filters,
which are used in addition to a full-flow filter.
AMSOIL EaBP Filters are high efficiency bypass filters
with 98.7% efficiency at two microns.
They also remove soot, providing the ultimate in protection against wear, oil
degradation and corrosion: your diesel's dipstick will show
remarkably clean oil, slightly darker than from a gasoline engine.
Most importantly, you virtually eliminate engine wear, because the wear
particles are filtered out of the oil.
A complete BMK-17Ea
AMSOIL Dual Remote By-Pass Filtration
System kit costs about $300 or less
with the Duramax bracket included, so it is a very
cost-effective improvement that will pay for itself quickly.
If you choose not to install the Dual Remote by-pass filtration system
then the AMSOIL Ea full flow engine filter would be of a significant benefit
to the long term durability of your engine as well as allowing for 25,000
miles of service on the filter. When you check your oil level every
5,000 miles or 3 months, all you have to do is check the oil level and top
it off - don't drain it or change the filter. (Ignore the OLS Oil Life
System - don't use it, except to remind you to check your oil level.) When
you reach 25,000 miles/1-year you can either change the oil and filter or
take an oil sample from the dipstick tube using an AMSOIL sampling pump and
send it into
Oil Analyzer's Inc. using a pre-paid kit. Oil analysis will
indicate the exact condition of the oil and whether it is suitable for
continued service as well as determining if there are any other engine
components or wear items that you need to be concerned with.
AMSOIL has a complete line of synthetic oils, greases, transmission
fluids, gear lubes,
Ea nanofiber air filters, by-pass and
full flow filters and
filtration
systemsdesigned to extend the life of your
vehicles and equipment and save you time and money. In addition
we also offer a preferred customer purchase option, retail purchase option
or commercial account purchase option for businesses. Finally, we also offer
a Dealership Option for anyone interested in becoming an AMSOIL Dealer
and/or purchasing products at wholesale cost.
How to Reduce or Prevent Turbocharger Bearing
Seizures on Duramax Diesels
One of the
many specific areas, on turbocharged Duramax Diesel engines, that
can clearly benefit from the use of synthetic oil is the
turbocharger. When a turbocharged engine is shut off
immediately after use, bearing "heat soak" occurs due to the heat
that naturally flows out of the hot exhaust manifold and into the
turbo, adding to the high temperatures still present in the turbocharger:
all this heat "soaks" into the bearings which are no longer being
cooled by a flow of engine oil.
Over a period of time this can lead to deposits that can reduce or block the
oil flow to the turbocharger bearings, which can lead to turbocharger bearing
seizure.
The hotter the
outside temperature and the heavier your load, the greater the risk to your
turbocharger's life.
To combat these
problems and give your turbo maximum life, our engineering staff recommend
two things: 1) use of a turbo cool-down timer, and 2) one of AMSOIL's
Synthetic Diesel Oils (listed below). A cool-down timer gives your
engine a chance to lower the EGT (Exhaust Gas Temperature) to a safer level
before the engine shuts off. A true synthetic oil does not break down
and form deposits in the same temperature range as petroleum ("mineral")
oils. Of these two, the most important is to make sure your Duramax
engine oil is a high-quality true synthetic.
AMSOIL's Synthetic Diesel Oils are inherently more thermally stable than
most diesel oils on the market, and have been shown to keep turbochargers
considerably cleaner than other brands of oil. In fact, AMSOIL
synthetics have a noted historical reputation for maintaining turbochargers
in a clean like-new condition. Meanwhile, poor quality engine
oils have been shown to cause turbocharger bearing seizure in under 100
hours during a "heat soak" test.
Many engine oils will survive the 100 hour "heat soak" test, but...
with considerable deposits and incipient oil passage blocking. So what
you select for your Duramax diesel oil is vital for long turbo life. If you
use typical or low-quality diesel oils, it is critical that you let the
engine idle for a few minutes after use, to allow the engine and
turbocharger to cool. This cool-down does not eliminate deposit formation when using
petroleum diesel oils, but it can dramatically reduce it.
Take a look at the varnish deposits in this picture below. These are the results
of a severe high temperature deposit test with some of the most trusted
commercial brands. This test clearly shows that
AMSOIL keeps engines cleaner longer than other major brands of diesel oils.
Which oil would you rather have protecting your Duramax turbo-diesel engine?
The bottom line: To
prevent or eliminate turbocharger bearing seizure, there is no substitute
for a high quality synthetic diesel oil (like AMSOIL's) as they have been
have been proven to maintain turbochargers in an almost "as fitted"
condition, and significantly reduce deposit formation.
We are here to help you learn the facts
and to show you how using superior AMSOIL products will
increase the performance and add to the longevity of your Duramax Diesel,
while saving you time and money. Duramax Diesel trucks are excellent vehicles and
exceptionally well engineered by General Motors. In our opinion, they are one
of the most advanced vehicles ever produced. However there are ways to make
the performance and longevity even better with AMSOIL Synthetic Lubricants.
Long life:
We have an article describing an AMSOIL user with 731,000 miles on his 1993 Ford Aerostar,
on the original engine and transmission. He was using AMSOIL from
the beginning. This type of mileage performance is unheard of
in basic passenger vehicles with conventional petroleum oils, but is
not uncommon when using AMSOIL synthetic lubricants. However,
newer Amsoil synthetic oil and filter technology have recently
enabled the "million
mile van" which is still running strong.
How much money was saved by not replacing those vans every 200,000 to
400,000 miles?
Improved
Duramax fuel
economy savings:
My Duramax diesel truck gained 8% in fuel
economy, and my car mpg improved 10%. While most customers
will only get a 5 to 10% fuel economy improvement, gains of 20% are not unheard
of in some vehicles.
Phillip is a
customer with a 1999 Oldsmobile Silhouette van who had changed his motor oil
at 3,000 mile intervals. In the spring of 2005 when he used Engine
Flush and changed to AMSOIL engine oil with about 85,000 miles on the
odometer, he got an instant 20% fuel economy increase which has been saving
him about $12 per week. That annual fuel savings of more than $600 is six
times more than the $100 annual cost of the AMSOIL products.
Biodiesel fuels
produce more rapid breakdown of ANY engine oil.
No matter what brand or type of engine oil you use, you will
need to closely monitor your oil performance with oil analysis
and shorten drain intervals as your use of biodiesel blends
increases. In many cases, this will mean cutting your
previous oil drain intervals in half (assuming use of the same
engine oil). If extended oil drain intervals are not
shortened or at least monitored with oil sampling, biodiesel contamination is likely to produce engine
damage due to oil failure.

Despite your owner's manual recommendation of a
15W-40 oil, your Duramax engine - like nearly all engines - is
designed to use a 30-weight oil. The 15W-40 recommendation is
based on the assumption of petroleum oils which will often "shear
back" to a 30-weight oil in diesels, and if you use a 30-weight oil
that shears back to a 20 weight oil you will have wear problems (or
worse). Of course, AMSOIL's HDD formulation will maintain
viscosity as long as you are using it as recommended in a healthy
engine (no fuel getting in the oil, for example) - so your engine
will enjoy year-round benefit from the 30-weight oil it was designed
for, including better fuel economy.
Both the AME and HDD oils are 25,000
mile oils that outperform every other available diesel oil on the market,
and are LESS EXPENSIVE to use because of those extended drain intervals.
Both oils are also superb performers in
gasoline engines. The DEO oil exceeds the performance of any other
CJ-4 oil on the market. Any of the three oils will work well for you,
and they will all increase your Duramax fuel economy, but our best
recommendation is for you to make an informed choice based on your specific
needs. Here are some suggestions to help you:
For this Application... Pick this oil:
2007 & later
models (CJ-4 spec is req'd)** 5W-40 (DEO)
All-fleet oil for class 3-8
15W-40 (AME) - or 5W-30 (HDD)**
All-purpose
oil for logging/heavy-construction 15W-40 (AME),
5W-40 (DEO)*
*While it is
difficult to compare them, Engineers generally believe the thicker 40-weight
oils
(AME & DEO) may provide slightly more wear protection than 5W-30 (HDD) in
extremely heavy applications, particularly off-road/gravel where drivetrains
can be subject to heavy torsional shock-loading. However, for
highway/city mileage, HDD fuel economy savings probably exceed savings from
reduced wear with AME - if there is any measureable wear reduction at all with AME.
Experience has shown that changing to any of these three AMSOIL synthetic
oils will produce fuel economy benefits for your Duramax.
**5W-40 (DEO) oil is also a fully
backwards compatible, all-fleet oil. So if using one oil for your
entire fleet is one of your most important considerations, and your fleet
includes 2007+ diesels (or earlier with DPF's), this is the oil to use.
However, be aware that the low TBN restrictions of the CJ-4 spec
means that extended drain intervals will not be possible on your vehicles
without oil sampling analysis. (DEO has a TBN of 8.0, vs 12+ for AME &
HDD.) For this reason, our best
recommendation is to use two fleet oils. One for gas and 2006 or older
diesels, and the other for 2007+ diesels.
Simply changing your oil more often with
"reputable" oil will not give your
Duramax all the benefits that AMSOIL offers:
You will not get improved fuel
economy, you will not get reduced engine wear, you will not get reduced
operating temperatures, you will not get extended drain intervals and you
will not save money in the long run. Please, allow
us to show you a better way. We are here to help you. You have everything to
gain and absolutely nothing to lose!
Duramax Owners Questions and
Answers
about lubrication, filtration and other truck maintenance
issues:
These e-mailed/posted
questions were answered by our degreed automotive engineers.
(None of them are employed by AMSOIL, Inc.)
I have a GMC Sierra 2500 HD Duramax 4x4 with a 6-speed
standard gearbox. I bought it new in 2001 and now have 98 000 miles on it.
Over the years I always made sure that the maintenance was done as per the
owner manual but something bugs me. Nowhere in the schedule maintenance
does it talk about gearbox oil change. They cover the engine oil, the
engine coolant system and all kinds of minor items but they never talk about
the standard transmission, the transfer case, the rear and front
differentials, and what about the power steering and the hydraulic clutch?
How many years can we go without replacing the oil in all these components?
I understand that they use synthetic oil these days but are these synthetic
oils good for the life of the truck?
A:
Recommendations for Changing Transmission Fluid, Transfer Case Lube, and
Differential Gear Oil Fluid (Posted by us, 1/12/2009, we have made a few
slight improvements below)
There's much
more to this subject than meets the eye. I stumbled across this
question today while doing a search, and thought I could help clarify.
I'm a Mechanical Engineer with an '02 2500HD Duramax, and have spent
the last decade in the automotive industry supplying to most of the OEM
assembly plants. I speak fairly regularly with an OEM GM engineer, who
also has a Duramax, and we worked together in his shop installing remote
bypass filter kits on our Duramax 6.6 engines.
For maximum vehicle life, OEM powertrain engineers (in general vehicle
terms, rather than in Owner’s Manuals or Service Manuals) recommend
changing ALL lubrication fluids in the first 2,000 to 4,000 miles of
service. This is generally because of the high operating temperatures
and high wear-particle content generated during the break-in period,
which break down and contaminate the lubricants. Changing the fluid
during this time, instead of at the factory-recommended intervals, can
double to quadruple system life. Going to a high quality synthetic will
at least double it again (NOT all of them are "factory fill" synthetics,
as is often rumored). For example, the front diff fill cap on 2500HD
4x4's through some 2004 models are not designed to have long-term
compatibility with synthetics, which should tell you something about the
factory fluid. I forget which is which, but one is white, the other
black. You'll need to order the correct one to go synthetic up front.
It goes back to "planned obsolescence". Current material finish and
surface technologies allow slower wear, so that non-commercial users
will make it past warranty with the factory drivetrain fluids, and
commercial users will pay for diff and tranny failures that aren't
covered under warranty for commercial use.
You can download a very interesting Research White Paper here on Gear
Lubes - as far as I'm aware, the most authoritative testing ever
published: Gear
Lube White Paper
If you note the background info in the first section you'll start to get
a good idea of reality on differential failures, which also translates
to tranny and transfer case failures: most of them fail, in truth,
because their lubricants failed long ago. As as you'll see in the test
data comparing those 14 gear lubes, just because it's "synthetic"
doesn't mean it's high performance.
My Duramax purchase was a pivotal event for me because it sparked my
shocked research to discover how easy it is to run 500k-1M miles as a
5th wheel tow vehicle... without drivetrain failures (I'm not going to
vouch for injectors and fuel pumps, nor for offroading, etc.) Many
truck owners, like myself, plan to keep it for a very long time. If
you're in that group, I recommend that you change everything to true
synthetics, and don't use dealer fluids. Contrary to so many online
forum postings around the web, the use of a dramatically superior
synthetic lubricant is a dramatically superior choice that does NOT
cause failures nor cause the OEM to deny warranty coverage, and the few Dealer
service managers who claim otherwise are simply wrong - and wouldn't
dare put their statements in writing.
And beware having a GM dealer change your transmission fluid: very few
even carry a fluid that meets the Allison TES-295 spec. I negotiated
the fluid-exchange fee for bringing my own fluid to the Dealer. Less
than a mile from each other, my GM dealer didn't recommend using a
synthetic in the Allison, while the commercial fleet center knew that
Allison's extended commercial warranty required a high-performance
synthetic - but still didn't carry it or use it. It's eye-opening for a
fleet to learn that Allison’s expensive extended warranty requires the
expensive synthetic fluid, but that the fluid itself reduces tranny
failures by way over 90%. Hint - there are only two fluids that meet
TES-295, and Allison lists only the one they’re partners with.
(Yeh, unfortunately very few people know this stuff… outside of
lubrication, drivetrain, or reliability/maintenance engineers. Any
vehicle can be a 500k+ mile vehicle, but it’s just not in the OEM’s or
oil-drilling companies' best financial interests to explain how. Hope
this is helpful.)

Chevy can do that, why not YOUR Duramax?]
Comments:
I found your forum post on lubrication to be one of
the most useful I have read. I downloaded the white paper you
suggested and plan to study it. I am planning to purchase a GMC
2500HD for farm use in several months - to tow tractors and
livestock. I have worked as a computer engineer at Sony, Hughes
Aircraft and Walt Disney in the past. I would like to read anything
you write about your truck or GMC experiences. Thanks for sharing
this information! It is really hard to get good facts and reliable
sources are so rare. So I really appreciate your efforts.
I have mostly owned Toyotas and had real good luck
with them - vehicles and dealers. But the 5.7L Tundra does not have
the tow capacity for larger utility tractors with trailer (4 ton and
up for just tractor). I once owned the "Ford Explorer from hell" so
cannot really imagine going through that run around again - ignition
burned out on Mojave desert dirt road after 6 months,
shift-on-the-fly did not work consistently the first 2 years until
finally Ford installed a new larger spin up motor, door gaskets fell
off for no reason, too much to list ... and dealing with Ford was an
experience not to be believed. After much research the GMC 2500HD
with Duramax and Allison trans seems the best choice. But I would
love to hear any more thoughts you have on yours.

AMSOIL has been in business since 1972 and was the first company in the
world to develop an API (American Petroleum Institute) rated synthetic
lubricant for automotive applications. They coined the phrase "extended
drain intervals" 30 years ago with 25,000 mile drain intervals, and
ever since then they have been defining the leading edge of
lubrication technology, innovation and performance. No other company
in the world offers 25,000 and 35,000 mile oil changes, and AMSOIL
guarantees their product performance. No-one else does that. AMSOIL is
the Gold Standard in lubrication and filtration, and amazingly, their
superior-performance products are cheaper to use. The fact is, if
you’re not using AMSOIL lubricants and filters, you’re wasting money.
We are here to help you and are at your service to assist you in
your advanced technology lubrication and filtration needs. We
hope you will allow us to show you a proven better way.
We have many satisfied customers
using AMSOIL products in their commercial, trucking, and fleet vehicles, as well as
personal, family and recreational vehicles. And now, you know the AMSOIL
secret, too. Welcome to the AMSOIL family.
AMSOIL is the undisputed leader in
synthetics.............
Since 1972, AMSOIL Synthetic
drivetrain LUBRICANTS have proven to be the
highest performance engine oils, greases, transmission fluids, and hydraulic and differential
gear oils on the market.
But the other key issue is
nanofiber filtration.
We now cover oil filters, air filters and other fluid filters like NO-ONE else can. AMSOIL
offers the highest performance, most cost-effective, most comprehensive filter line on
earth. Consider air and oil...
OIL FILTERS:
Until now, Nanofiber filtration technology has been used
exclusively in heavy duty applications, including the
US ARMY Abrams M1 tank. AMSOIL Ea Filters are the first and only
filter line to bring this technology to the auto/light truck
market.
EaO nanofiber
oil filters provide unmatched full-flow
filtering
efficiency to
98.7 percent at
15 microns, and
50 percent at 7
microns.
This translates to a 70% reduction in engine wear rates, while giving longer
filter life and lower pressure drop for better cold-start performance: the only
filtration that gives you the best performance in every category! Compare
that to the filters lining the auto-parts shelves, which don't tell you their
common 7,500 mile design life and either won't tell you what micron level their efficiency rating is for,
or they claim a micron particle size without stating an efficiency: deceptive,
meaningless numbers.
Additionally, consider bypass filtration systems for
commercial and fleet applications in cars and light, medium and heavy trucks
which can filter particles down to less than one micron and are 89% efficient
at 1 micron, making oil changes virtually unnecessary and virtually eliminating engine wear.
(A standard full-flow oil filter can only filter to 20 microns with any
reasonable efficiency, but 5-25 microns is widely accepted as the wear-particle
size range.)
Easy to install, these oil filter systems have been proven by millions of miles of over-the road trucks,
construction equipment and fleet service. And we use these on our personal
diesel pickup trucks: my
Duramax 2500HD has over
70,000 miles since the last oil
drain, the oil analysis looks perfect, and the appearance of this diesel oil
looks like a gas engine with 3,000 miles on the oil.
AIR FILTERS:
The MOST IMPORTANT filter on the M1A1 Abrams
battle tank is its' nanofiber air filter.
The MOST Important filter on YOUR vehicle is also the air
filter.
It's far better, and easier, to keep wear particles out of the
engine than it is to attempt filtering them out of the engine oil. Yet
filter companies and vehicle manufacturer's are strangely silent about actual
air filter performance and engine needs. Now AMSOIL offers world-leading breakthrough
Ea air
filters with exclusive nanofiber technology. Based on battlefield-proven
air-induction systems used in military ground and air vehicles, this high-technology filtration is now available
for consumer use! Ea filters are guaranteed for 4 years, 100,000 miles,
and have OEM certified fitment for your vehicle. The engineering rule of
thumb for damaging wear particle size is 5 to 25 microns. Incredibly, these filters
are 100% efficient at removing particles of 3 microns, and are 80% effective at
removing particles of a 1 micron size. This means that NO WEAR PARTICLES
CAN GET PAST OUR Ea AIR FILTERS! AND, they're less expensive to
use than ANY other air filter.
For Power Sports applications, AMSOIL offers a line
of oiled-foam filters. These filters provide better performance than
oiled-gauze air filters, and are used almost exclusively in most off-road
applications including baja, dirt-track racing, and motocross.
For light to heavy trucks, both gas and diesel
engines, AMSOIL's partnership
with Donaldson provides you with the best performance and most cost-effective air
filtration systems in the world. These include both Powercore and
Nanofiber technology filters. We have the full line of
Donaldson Filters Now Available ,
including air, fuel, water, oil and hydraulic filters, with exclusive performance warranties
(no one else in the industry offers filtration performance warranties). Contact us for specific
recommendations, or see our
Diesel Page.
Air Induction
Systems:
AMSOIL offers a growing line of the only OEM
certified air induction filtration systems on the market. Offering
dramatic airflow improvements for gains in horsepower, fuel economy, and towing
torque, they also keep wear particles out of your engine better than any
marketed product. Current air inductions systems include the
7.3 liter PowerStroke. In addition, AMSOIL has released a full line of
nanofiber universal air induction filters (EaAU)
designed to replace stock oil wetted gauze or foam conical
filters that were supplied with custom induction systems
produced by K&N, Injen, S&B, Green, AIRAID, AFE, TrueFlow
and more. Whether your air induction system is in a gasoline
street-rod, or a diesel truck, you have great airflow but you need better
filtration than oiled gauze. AMSOIL Ea Air Induction Filters are dry no-oil
filters that offer far better
efficiency, 50 times the capacity, excellent airflow and are easily cleanable.
Got a Hummer H2 or H3? How about a newer Ford
PowerStroke? Then you already have superb nanofiber air
filtration. But we offer the real PowerCore replacement air filter for your Hummer
or PowerStroke, at
a much lower cost than the dealerships!
