Company History
Twin Air USA is the exclusive importer, marketer and promoter for Twin Air products in the United States. The company was founded in the Netherlands more than 30 years ago, where the sandy, gritty soil was destroying stock paper air filters and causing big problems for engines. Twin Air developed the solution with its special laminated foam air filters and filter accessories. Today, Twin Air remains at the forefront of powersports filtration technology, making it a perfect partner for AMSOIL. Twin Air is the OEM filter supplier to more than 10 motorcycle companies and manufactures the best-selling off-road air filter in the world.

Solid Construction
Twin Air filters are constructed from two layers of openpore foam that are bonded together to provide maximum filtration and superior airflow. A coarse-foam outer shell is fused with a fine-foam inner core, resulting in a one-piece design that is both functional and durable. It provides continuous filtration and airflow while protecting engines from dirt, dust and sand.

The Twin Air Advantage
Twin Air air filtration products provide dirtbikes and ATVs with maximum intake protection in any riding conditions. The coarse open-pore foam catches airborne dirt, grime and sand, while the fine open-pore inner foam acts as a second filter to trap the smallest particles while ensuring maximum air passage. Twin Air air filters are constructed with an exclusively formulated adhesive that withstands repeated cleanings, even with harsh solvents or gasoline. Their thick, flat-foam greaseless sealing ring ensures maximum contact with the airbox while acting as a breathable gasket for increased air passage.

Pre-Oiled
Each Twin Air air filter is pre-oiled with Twin Air Biodegradable Foam Filter Oil. Once the filter is constructed, it is submerged in Twin Air Bio Oil and massaged to perfection to ensure all pores are evenly coated. Filters are then placed in a temperature-controlled room to allow the oil to fully cure on the filter.

Cleaning Products
AMSOIL also offers several Twin Air filter cleaning and oiling products. AMSOIL will continue to offer AMSOIL High Tack Foam Filter Oil (AFO) and Foam Filter Cleaner (FFC), which perform well with Twin Air Filters. AMSOIL, however, wanted to provide all Twin Air products, including oils and cleaners, for Dealers and customers to have a consistent and compatible product line. In addition, Twin Air offers biodegradable products that are popular in this market.

Tack Oils
Liquid Power Filter Oil starts thin for a deep, even penetration, then dries to an even coating. This high-tack shield traps dirt, grit and dust. Liquid Bio Power biodegradable air filter oil is the first biodegradable air filter oil that works in all riding conditions. Liquid Bio Power prevents dirt, dust and even water from entering carburetors. Its alcohol base allows easy, even penetration, then dissipates quickly to form a supersticky, dirt-grabbing shield. Available in spray or liquid form.

Cleaners
Liquid Dirt Remover is formulated to quickly cut through Liquid Power, loosen the dirt and flush filters clean. It will not harden or damage filter foam. Liquid Bio Dirt Remover is a biodegradable air filter cleaner. It can be used with a washing machine or when washing by hand in a bucket. Liquid Bio Dirt Remover is a granular water-soluble cleaner that can go right down the drain without clogging or harming the environment. Spray Contact Cleaner is designed to clean the air box and surrounding areas. It quickly and effectively removes excess dirt and grime.

The System
The System is the full filter care solution. This filter cleaning kit comes with everything needed to clean Twin Air air filters in a sturdy storage box complete with carrying handles. Each kit includes a Twin Air cleaning tub, oiling tub, Liquid Dirt Remover, Liquid Power Filter Oil, contact cleaner and rubber gloves. The cleaning tub is resealable and comes with a filter tray that allows dirt to sink to the bottom, away from filters. The oiling tub allows filters to be submerged for easy, even oiling. When not in use, the oiling tub is resealable, enabling users to save unused filter oil.

Ea Motorcycle Air Filters
AMSOIL INC. revolutionized the filtration industry with its introduction of
picAMSOIL Ea Air and Ea Oil Filters. For the first time exclusive nanofiber technology – the same technology used in the Abrams M1 tank and other heavy duty applications – was made available for automotive applications. Now, AMSOIL has made this outstanding new technology available for motorcycles.

Nanofiber Basics
Because the nanofibers in AMSOIL Ea Motorcycle Air Filter media are so small, there are more pores per square inch, allowing for higher dirt-holding capacity and lower pressure drop compared to traditional filter medias. Thinner media fibers produce more uniform pore size distribution, improving the filter’s overall ability to capture and retain particles.

Air Filtration Basics
An engine requires air for combustion, but the air drawn in through the induction system is loaded with contaminants. 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 from the air are the leading causes of engine wear.

The function of the air filter is to trap and hold these wear causing contaminants without restricting air flow. As the filter traps more and more contaminants, air flow becomes restricted, smothering the engine and diminishing performance. The more wear causing contaminants a filtration media traps and holds, while still allowing optimum air flow, the better the filtration media.

The nanofiber technology used in AMSOIL Ea Filters surpasses all other technology in efficiency, capacity and service life. With AMSOIL Ea Air Filters, dust and submicron particles remain on the surface and are trapped in the nanofibers, preventing particles from lodging in the filter media depth. This produces higher efficiency and higher capacity, extending engine and filter life and reducing engine wear.

Ea Motorcycle Air Filters
The filtration media in the Ea Motorcycle Air Filter is pleated and has epoxy-coated wire on the face and back of the media for additional strength and stiffness. High quality plastisol potting compounds bond the pleat packs to the plastic or aluminum side plates. The S&S (aftermarket engine and carburetor manufacturer) style round filters are manufactured with high-quality plastisol that bonds the media to the wire backing and sealing area.

Superior Filtration
The synthetic nanofiber media featured in AMSOIL Ea Motorcycle Air Filters have sub-micron diameters and small inter-fiber spaces, resulting in more contaminants being captured on the surface of the media and lower restriction. Cellulose, wetted gauze and foam filters have larger spaces between the media that cause contaminants to load in the depth of the filter, resulting in airflow path plugging, higher restriction and lower capacity.

Cleanable for Long Service Life
AMSOIL Ea Motorcycle Air Filters are cleanable, providing unsurpassed protection and long service life. AMSOIL Ea Motorcycle Air Filters should be cleaned every year or according to operating conditions. Operation in extremely dusty or dirty environments may require more frequent cleaning. Ea Motorcycle Air Filters should be changed every four years.

Cleaning Instructions
AMSOIL Ea Motorcycle Air Filters are cleaned in the same manner as AMSOIL Ea Air Filters for cars and light trucks: with a vacuum or shop air. To clean with a vacuum, place the filter on a flat surface and carefully vacuum the filter media on the dirty side where the incoming airflow enters the filter. To clean with shop air, hold the filter with one hand and carefully blow the filter media at a 45-degree angle on the clean side of the filter using low-pressure (15 to 20 psi) shop air. Using too much air pressure will damage the filter media.

Superior Alternative
AMSOIL is producing an initial offering of eight Ea Motorcycle Air Filters manufactured for the most popular Harley Davidson models from the years 1988 to 2006, including motorcycles equipped with S&S carburetors and air cleaner housings.

Application information can be found in the online power sports lookup, in the G2135 Power Sports Application Guide or proper filters may be determined when placing orders.

Nanofiber Basics
Because the nanofibers in AMSOIL Ea Motorcycle Oil Filter media are so small, there are more pores per square inch, allowing for higher dirt-holding capacity and lower pressure drop compared to traditional filter medias. Thinner media fibers produce more uniform pore size distribution, improving the filter’s overall ability to capture and retain particles.

Oil Filtration Basics
Clean oil is vital to engine performance and durability. Oil must lubricate, cool and clean the engine as it circulates. In order to remain effective, it must be filtered as it cycles. The filter is connected to the engine sump, which contains the oil pump. Full-flow filters pass all the oil output from the pump through the filter.

The function of the oil filter is to remove the contaminants introduced into the lubricating oil and prevent them from reaching sensitive engine parts without restricting normal oil flow to the various points requiring lubrication. Internal sources of contamination include wear products from the rubbing surfaces of the engine, blow-by gases leaking past the rings of the pistons and degradation of the oil itself. A filter must perform well in the areas of efficiency, capacity, flow and life.

Ea Motorcycle Oil Filters
Ea Motorcycle Oil Filters feature a specially constructed silicone anti-drainback valve and a nitrile sealing gasket to go along with the full-synthetic Ea nanofiber media. The anti-drainback valve provides excellent protection during startup and remains flexible in all temperatures, and the nitrile sealing gasket resists chemical breakdown, providing excellent durability and ensuring long filter life. AMSOIL Ea Motorcycle Oil Filters are fluted for easy removal from the motorcycle and are available in a chrome-plated alternative to the normal black filters.

Superior Filtration
The unique construction and full-synthetic media of AMSOIL Ea Motorcycle Oil Filters allow them to provide unmatched performance in motorcycles and other power sports equipment. EaOM Filters last longer, stop smaller dirt particles and offer less restriction than other filters. Ea Motorcycle Oil Filters provide filtering efficiency of 98.7 percent at 15 microns, outperforming the best cellulose/synthetic blend media on the market.

Superior Alternative, Multiple Applications
AMSOIL Ea Motorcycle Oil Filters provide unsurpassed protection for motorcycles, ATVs, four-stroke personal watercraft, four-stroke snowmobiles and four-stroke outboards. AMSOIL is producing an initial offering of 16 Ea Motorcycle Oil Filters manufactured for the most popular power sports applications. Eight of the 16 filters are chrome plated.
