 Oil
is the life blood of your motorcycle engine. Your
oil filtration system keeps that life blood flowing
and your ride on the road.
For nearly 30 years, AMSOIL INC.
has offered state-of-the-art products Dealers can
sell with pride. In that time, the company’s reputation
has grown, along with its product line.
Now, AMSOIL has developed a full
line of oil filters specifically designed for motorcycles
and ATVs.
The SuperDuty Motorcycle Oil Filters
(SMF) reflect the newest technological advances in
the quest to meet the unique demands of today’s high-stress
motorcycle engines.
The three main functions of any
oil filter are flow, life and efficiency.
- Flow is the filter’s ability
to let the right volume of oil reach its intended
parts, with a minimum degree of restriction.
- Life is the filter’s capacity
to remain in service for a predicted amount of time.
- Efficiency is the filter’s ability
to remove contaminants that cause engine wear.
While each of those functions is
vital individually, there’s more to it.
“Remember, it’s more than just flow.
It’s more than just efficiency. It’s more than just
life,” said Dave Anderson, AMSOIL Technical Sales
Director. “They all have to perform in unison. A filter
is only as good as its weakest link.”
Typically, oil filters are comprised
of cellulose, or paper, synthetic fibers, glass fibers,
or a combination of media.
“All of these fibers have a different
set of characteristics to them,” Anderson said.
Each provides different levels
of filtration of the damaging dirt and dust particles
that shorten the life of a motorcycle engine.
- Traps Dirt Throughout Media Thickness
- Up to 100% More Capacity
- Up to 20% More Efficiency
- Built for Rugged Performance
- Heavy-duty Steel Case Withstands
Extreme Conditions
- Assures Oil Flow With Relief
Valve
- Prevents Oil Drainage During
Engine Shutdown
 Flow
is gained through a media that is open and free, while
efficiency is gained through media that is closed
and difficult to penetrate. The flow versus efficiency
” compromise within the filtration system is the greatest
demand on an oil filter’s performance.
“Through our testing, we have found
the best for motorcycles, and automobiles, is a blend
of the three media – synthetic, cellulose and glass,”
Anderson said.. “That gives the best overall performance.
You have to look at overall performance. How they
do all the tasks that you want them to do. A prudent
consumer must consider the total package.”
AMSOIL SuperDuty Motorcycle Oil
Filters provide the greatest possible balance of that
“total package” to provide the ultimate in overall
filtration performance.
The filters are available in black
finish, with several models also available in chrome.
The chrome models have a C designation.
They have a heavy-duty case of drawn
steel. The case is double-crimped at the base with
rolled-under seaming to withstand extreme pressure
surges and road shocks.
AMSOIL SMF are available in spin-on
and cartridge types.
The new G-194 Automotive Filter
and Cross- Reference Guide lists the correct filter
for each motor- cycle and ATV. A separate Motorcycle
and ATV Filter Cross Reference Guide, G-1768, at $1.00
U.S., also is newly available for your convenience.
These quality full-flow filters
are designed to allow extended filter change intervals.
AMSOIL INC. recommends the following
guidelines. When using an AMSOIL SMF with conventional
oil, change the filter at the manufacturer ’s recommendation.
When using an AMSOIL SMF with AMSOIL Motor Oil, change
the filter at twice the manufacturer ’s recommendation
or six months.
