SUPER DUTY OIL FILTERS

AMSOIL proudly introduces the Super Duty Oil Filter for passenger vehicle applications Super Duty Oil Filters offer all-around better filtration and protection than conventional fillers do. SDF30.jpg (5565 bytes) The Super Duty’s advanced media blend, especially its cellulose and synthetic media, provides outstanding capacity. Plus, the strength and flexibility of these fibers allow tight pleating. Pleating dramatically increases media surface area – the tighter the pleating, the more the surface area – and increased surface area increases capacity while maintaining outstanding flow.
What Is the Super Duty Oil Filter ? Efficiency
The AMSOIL Super Duty Oil Filter is a full flow oil filter designed for extended drain intervals and severe service. Its rugged filter body contains a high-tech blended filtration media composed of cellulose, synthetic and glass fibers. The media sets the Super Duty apart from conventional filters in capacity, efficiency and service life – and that all adds up to superior filtration and protection. Filter efficiency is a filter’s ability to trap contaminants. The Super Duty Oil Filter’s advanced media blend, especially its glass and synthetic media, offers tremendous efficiency, due to the fineness and uniform shape of their fiber strands.
Capacity Service Life
Filter capacity is the amount of contaminants a filter media can hold without loss of oil flow and filtration.

Filter service life is the period a filter allows proper oil flow while trapping and holding contaminants. The Super Duty Oil Filter’s capacity plays a significant role in the filter’s extra- long service life (12,500 miles or six months).

BUILT TO LAST

  • Heavy-duty, drawn steel housing protects against burst and pulse damage.
  • Steel coil spring helps the filter keep its shape and maintains a positive load on internal components.
  • Two evenly spaced glue bead supports help ensure flow through the entire pleat surface and reduce media fatigue between oil changes.
  • Fluted-rib spiral center tube protects against pressure surge damage.
  • Double-rolled, tuck lock seam between the heavy duty baseplate and the housing protects against leakage during normal and high pressure operations.
  • High strength corrosion-resistant, heat damage-resistant gasket for long gasket life.
The filter’s rugged construction plays an important role, too. For example, the Super Duty’s steel coil spring, which centers the filter element inside the filter housing, springs back to its original shape after the filter’s been subjected to shock loads. That helps the filter maintain its seal so oil flows through the media, not around it. Similarly, the Super Duty’s fluted-rib spiral center tube stands up to pressures that may collapse the one-piece rolled tubes used in conventional oil filters. A collapsed center tube allows virtually all the oil to by-pass the filter media and circulate unfiltered.
Who Needs the Super Duty?

The AMSOIL Super Duty Oil Filter’s rugged construction and high-tech media make it ideal for motorists who extend their oil drain intervals, drive hard, want to make their engines last or, bottom line, want the best filter available.

The Big Picture

When you look at the big picture the overall superiority of the AMSOIL SDF Oil Filter makes a big difference. Oil filters need good efficiency and good capacity to protect engines. Those with poor efficiency fail to trap a significant portion of particles large enough to damage the engine. Those with poor capacity fill quickly, and once filled allow dirty oil to bypass the filtration media, circulate unfiltered and damage the engine. Capacity becomes an especially critical issue a with extended oil drain intervals. The AMSOIL Super Duty Oil Fitter offers superior efficiency and capacity to those offered by other popular filters. While some other filters offer good efficiency, they do not offer nearly the capacity of the AMSOIL SDF. For those who wish to extend their oil drain intervals – or even for those who simply go too long on an oil change – the extra safety offered by the AMSOIL SDF Oil Filter makes a big difference.

AMSOIL By-Pass Filtration Systems

For the engines you want to keep

Dirt is the number one cause of engine wear. Experts say particles in the 5 to 20 micron size range cause 60 percent of engine wear. Yet, most full flow oil filters only remove particles larger than 20 microns.

AMSOIL BY-PASS OIL FILTRATION SYSTEMS

AMSOIL By-Pass Oil Filtration Systems remove particles of less than one micron in size. They also remove water; full flow oil fitters don’t. In fact, filtration experts call oil filtered by AMSOIL By-Pass Oil Filtration Systems, ’analytically clean.’ Analytically clean oil keeps engine horsepower and fuel economy high and engine wear rates low. Analytically clean oil lasts longer than ordinary oil does, too. In addition, AMSOIL By-Pass Oil Filtration Systems call for extra oil in engine circulation systems. Larger oil volumes are less stressed by the tasks of engine lubrication and protection than smaller ones are. Larger volumes run cooler, too, which further reduces oil stress. Truckers value the fuel economy, power benefits and extended oil life offered by by-pass filtration. The AMSOIL Dual Gard By-Pass Oil Filtration System, designed for heavy duty trucks, pairs AMSOIL By-Pass filter elements and cuts filter changes in half for added convenience.

ONCE THE LEADER ALWAYS THE LEADER

The AMSOIL By-Pass Oil Filtration System is the recognized leader in by- pass filtration. Now it’s better than ever, and millions of miles of over-the- road testing proves it. A soil d anodized aluminum billet mount, cut and abrasion resistant hosing, aircraft quality hardware thread tolerances and many other improvements enhance flow, quiet operations and make the system virtually indestructible.

NEW BY-PASS FILTRATION
SYSTEM HAS IT ALL

Anodized mount machined from solid aluminum billet for corrosion resistance and metal integrity
Large diameter bolts and fender washers for extra strong attachment to application
High burst strength hose with abrasion resistant cover and reusable swivel hose-end fittings with JIC taper for stress-free hosing, positive lock fittings and optimal oil flow
Engraved AMSOIL name, computer-aided machining, aircraft quality hardware thread tolerances for high-tech performance, feel and look. Engraved AMSOIL name, computer-aided machining, aircraft quality hardware thread tolerances for high-tech performance, feel and look.
