| Gear Lube White Paper |
|
AMSOIL has come out with yet another white paper, this time on gear lubes.

Be sure and have a look, as these tests were done by independent labs, no sales pitches, just the facts. You have a look and decide for yourself, which gear lube do you want protecting your investment?
When you get rid of all of the advertising hype, the choice is clear.

Donaldson
Endurance™ Air Filters with exclusive nanofiber technology offer longer
engine life, longer filter life, initial efficiency up to 99.99 percent
and five times more capacity.
The
nanofiber technology causes submicron contaminants to be held on the
surface layer of smaller fibers. This filtration characteristic is only
possible with this new type of air filtration technology. In on-highway
applications, where the contaminant is primarily submicron in size,
Donaldson Endurance filters cause less restriction than conventional
filters with cellulose media. The smaller interfiber spaces of
nanofiber technology have a higher efficiency and capture more
contaminant.
The
following illustration may help visualize these phenomena: Imagine two
filters, a chain link fence and a mosquito net, with a tennis ball
being a dirt particle. As you may have observed, a tennis ball will fit
quite nicely into an opening of a chain link fence, but will obstruct
the hole almost 100%. Now imaging the same tennis ball covering a
mosquito net. The tennis ball, at the point of contact with the
netting, will obstruct much less filter area than the chain link fence
example. In fact, air will flow around the tennis ball all the way to
the point of contact. It will take many more particles to obstruct the
netting surface area than the chain link fence.
Donaldson
Endurance™ air filters are guaranteed to deliver twice the miles
between change intervals over cellulose air filters for on-highway
applications or customers receive a new filter at no charge.

Donaldson Endurance™ Air Filters
With Nanofiber vs. Conventional Cellulose
|
|
Nanofibers
have submicron diameters and small interfiber spaces, which result in
more contaminant being captured on the surface of the media and lower
restriction.
|
Red circles represent the diameter of a 2 micron and a 5 micron particle.
|
Cellulose
fibers are larger than nanofibers, and have larger spaces between the
fibers, causing contaminant to be held in the depth of the media and
plug the airflow path; resulting in higher restriction and less
capacity.
