Why Are Crankcase Breathers Necessary?
Pressure builds in the engine crankcase due to vapor from
the hot engine oil and from exhaust gases that escape
past the piston rings. A crankcase breather system is used
to release this pressure. If the breather system becomes
blocked, the crankcase pressure builds internally. As
the pressure increases, the oil is pushed through the
area offering the least resistance, such as the dipstick or
a seal. Crankcase breather filters are employed to ensure
the crankcase does not become blocked with foreign
materials as pressurized gases escape.
AMSOIL EaAB Filters
AMSOIL EaAB Filters are compatible with engines, transmissions
and oil tanks, but are mainly designed for
installation on valve covers used in high-performance and
racing applications. EaAB Filters clamp directly to rubber
tubing or are pushed onto rubber grommets. The EaAB1511, EaAB1513 and EaAB1514 feature a chrome
shield for added protection from direct contact with dirt
and grime, and all EaAB Filters feature a chrome ring with
AMSOIL engraved into the top. The EaAB1491 is a
push-in filter, the others are all clamp-on designs.
Quality Construction
AMSOIL EaAB Filters are made with the same super
high-quality synthetic nanofibers used in other Ea Filters.
Their wire-backed pleats provide additional strength
and filter longevity. The signature AMSOIL Ea blue media
along with the chrome detailing make these filters an
attractive fit.
Cleanable
AMSOIL EaAB Filters are cleanable, offering longer filter
life. They are cleaned in the same manner as other Ea Air
Filters; using either low-pressure shop air on the clean
side or a vacuum on the dirty side.
Applications
AMSOIL EaAB Filters are made for any vehicle or piece
of equipment that can accept breather elements. The
breathers are designed for installation on engine valve
covers and other breather tubes, but can also be used
on transmissions and industrial equipment. See the
product dimension chart below for appropriate filter.
