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

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.
