EaBP Bypass Filters
AMSOIL
EaBP Filters are high efficiency bypass filters that also remove soot.
They provide the ultimate in protection against wear, oil degradation
and corrosion.

Three EaBP Filter Sizes Include:
EaBP90
EaBP100
EaBP110
In an effort to
continually enhance the AMSOIL
product line, new technologies are evaluated to provide the best
products for AMSOIL
Dealers and customers. Consequently, AMSOIL
is now offering new bypass filters from its revolutionary Ea line of
filtration products. AMSOIL
EaBP Filters are high efficiency bypass filters that also remove soot.
They provide the ultimate in protection against wear, oil degradation
and corrosion. AMSOIL
EaBP Filters are superior to AMSOIL
BE Bypass Filters in several key areas.
Higher
Efficiency
AMSOIL
EaBP Filters have an efficiency of 98.7 percent at two microns,
compared to the AMSOIL
BE Filters’ 98.6 percent efficiency at three microns. At
normal operating RPMs the EaBP Filter will filter all of the oil in a
typical five quart sump in less than 10 minutes.
Superior
Construction
The superior construction of AMSOIL
EaBP Filters provides better sealing and increased longevity along with
superior corrosion resistance. AMSOIL
EaBP Filters have a marine powder coated exterior. Their zinc-dichromate
base plates increase rust protection, and they feature the same
dimensions and threads as BE-90, BE-100 and BE-110, so they are
compatible with existing AMSOIL
bypass filter mounts. EaBP Filters have a nitrile HNBR gasket and an
orange silicone anti-drain valve. The two stage pleated and layered
cellulose/full synthetic media has an efficiency rating of 98.7 percent
at two microns.
Longer
Lasting
When used in conjunction with AMSOIL
motor oil and an AMSOIL
EaO or Donaldson Endurance™ filter, the EaBP should be changed every
other full-flow filter change up to 60,000 miles. When used with other
brands of motor oil or full-flow filters, the EaBP filter should be
changed every other full-flow filter change.
AMSOIL
recommends using oil analysis when extending oil drain intervals.
Increased Oil Capacity
The increased fluid system capacity and filtration life provides
improved oil cooling and ensures that equipment constantly runs on clean
oil. Engine efficiency is increased and engine life is extended
significantly.
Soot
Removal
AMSOIL
has designed a new high-efficiency bypass filter element that is also a
soot removal device. AMSOIL
Ea Bypass Filters use a synthetic/cellulose sandwiched media. The inner
layer of the element is composed of a highly efficient cellulose media
covered with a full synthetic media outer layer. These filters remove 39
percent of soot contaminants less than one micron. Soot removal
efficiency increases approximately 10 to 14 percent when the EaBP Filter
is used in conjunction with a standard full-flow filter, even higher in
conjunction with Ea Oil Filters or Donaldson Endurance filters.
The
Dangers of Soot
The combustion process of diesel engines creates soot. After fuel is
injected, combustion occurs with elevated soot levels as a byproduct of
the process, and the combustion particulates become trapped on the
exposed oil film. The rings wipe the particulates into the oil and the
fine particulates aggregate, increasing levels of soot in the oil.
Oil with dispersant
additives will generally keep soot in the range of 0.002 to 0.5 microns
in suspension; detergent additives prevent the build-up of sludge and
act as an acid neutralizer, keeping soot in the range of 0.5 to 1.5
microns in suspension. These anti-wear additives work by providing a
sacrificial chemical-to-chemical barrier. As the amount of soot
suspended in the oil increases, the performance of these additives
decreases.
Soot
Causes Wear
As an oil’s soot dispersant additive level increases, wear reducing
additives become less effective. This creates a direct linear
correlation between wear and soot concentration; the higher the
concentration of soot, the higher the level of wear. Today’s oil
manufacturers are extending oil life by holding higher concentrations of
contaminants, including soot, in suspension in the oil. They are also
increasing fuel economy by reducing oil viscosity and oil film
thickness. Therefore, even smaller sized contaminants are becoming
critical in items in terms of creating wear. This further necessitates
the use of bypass filtration, especially in diesel engines.
EaBP
Vital Statistics
AMSOIL
will continue to offer three bypass filters: the EaBP90, EaBP100 and
EaBP110. All vehicles and applications that can accept the
AMSOIL
BMK11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17 and 18 filter mounts can use the EaBP Filters.
Per AMSOIL
bypass installation instructions, AMSOIL
recommends bypass filters be mounted as close to vertical as possible.
The filters are equipped with an anti-drain back valve in the event they
are mounted at an angle.
Who Uses
Bypass Filtration?
Bypass filtration comes standard on all heavy-duty turbo diesel engine
applications from OEMs such as Cummins, Mack and many more. It has been
available as standard equipment or as an option from OEMs like
Caterpillar, John Deere, Case and others, but it isn’t just for
heavy-duty diesel operators. Bypass filtration is a valuable commodity
for anyone that wants to extend drain intervals and prolong engine life.
It is also beneficial to vehicles that are exposed to high levels of
contaminants on a regular basis.
