AMSOIL Heavy-Duty Oil Filter
The AMSOIL Heavy-Duty Oil Filter is the EaHD-coded extended-life spin-on filter for heavy-duty on-road and off-road diesel and gasoline engines, available as EAHD2160, EAHD3000, EAHD3191, EAHD4005, and EAHD9000. It is engineered with full-synthetic media, an HNBR sealing gasket, a heavy-duty fully tucked double-seam baseplate, a molded element seal, roll-formed threads, and a long-life silicone anti-drain valve, and it is rated for service intervals that line up with AMSOIL synthetic engine oil drain intervals up to one year.
Built for extended on-road and off-road service
The Heavy-Duty Oil Filter is sized for over-the-road trucks, dump trucks, refuse haulers, school buses, farm tractors, and mining, construction, and industrial equipment. Service intervals are designed to coincide with the maximum drain interval of the AMSOIL synthetic engine oil it is paired with, not to exceed one year, which reduces the number of filter changes per year and the downtime that comes with them. EAHD codes cover Caterpillar, Cummins, Detroit, Mack, Navistar, Paccar, Volvo, and similar heavy-duty applications.
99 percent efficient at 20 microns
The Heavy-Duty Oil Filter is rated at 99 percent efficient at 20 microns based on industry-standard ISO 4548-12 testing, putting it among the higher-efficiency options for heavy-duty diesel service. Higher efficiency at the 20-micron point reduces the rate of bearing, ring, liner, and turbocharger wear that is driven by particles in the 10 to 30 micron range, particularly in long-haul and high-load duty cycles.
Lower restriction than cellulose media
The synthetic media used in the EaHD line has lower flow restriction than typical cellulose media of comparable efficiency. Smaller synthetic fibers trap finer particles while still passing oil at the rate the engine demands. During cold-temperature warm-up periods, lower restriction means the filter does not force the bypass valve open as often, so more of the oil that reaches the bearings has actually passed through the media and been filtered.
Heavy-duty construction details
Each Heavy-Duty Oil Filter is built around a fully tucked double-seam baseplate for strength and corrosion resistance, with roll-formed threads and a molded element seal that resist the pressure and vibration loads of Class 7 and Class 8 service. The HNBR sealing gasket stays flexible and tightly sealed across the operating temperature range and over the full extended service interval, which compares favorably to standard nitrile (NBR) gaskets that harden faster under sustained heat. A premium silicone anti-drain valve keeps oil in the filter at shutdown so the engine sees pressurized oil quickly at startup.
Recommended applications and service intervals
EaHD filters cover a wide cross-section of heavy-duty diesel applications. Confirm the right code for the engine and chassis with the AMSOIL Vehicle Lookup Guide and pair the filter with the correct heavy-duty oil from the rest of the AMSOIL diesel program.
- EAHD2160: Detroit Diesel Series 60 (11.1L, 12.7L, 14.0L) and Series 50, spin-on, twin-filter applications.
- EAHD3000: Cummins ISC and ISL, Paccar PX8, and similar mid-bore on-road diesel applications.
- EAHD3191: Caterpillar 3126 and C7 (7.2L), Mack E7 ASET (300 to 465 hp), E9 ASET (450 hp), MP7, MP8, and MP10, Volvo D11, D13, and D16 spin-on applications.
- EAHD4005: Caterpillar C9 (8.8L), C10 (10.3L), C11 (11.1L), C12 (12.0L), C15 (14.6L), C16 (15.8L), and C18 (18.1L) spin-on applications.
- EAHD9000: Cummins ISM and ISX/QSX spin-on applications.
Heavy-Duty Oil Filters should be changed at the time of the engine oil change, not to exceed one year. For deeper contaminant removal, the EaHD line pairs with the AMSOIL Heavy-Duty Bypass System, which uses a partial-flow bypass element to remove soot and particles down to two microns from the same lubricant.

Superior product
Using a superior oil filter verse off the shelf filters at the auto parts store is worth. It goes hand in hand with Amsoil.

Frequently asked questions
What does HNBR mean and why does it matter?
HNBR is hydrogenated nitrile butadiene rubber, a sealing-gasket material that retains flexibility and seal integrity at higher temperatures and over longer durations than standard NBR (nitrile). For an extended-drain heavy-duty oil filter, HNBR resists hardening over the full service interval, which keeps the gasket sealing reliably to the end of the change cycle.
Can the EaHD filter be used in pickups and 3/4-ton trucks?
EaHD filters are sized and rated for heavy-duty Class 7 and Class 8 engines (Caterpillar, Cummins, Detroit, Mack, Volvo, Paccar, Navistar). Most light-duty diesel pickups (Power Stroke, Cummins ISB, Duramax) use a different AMSOIL filter from the EaO/Ea15K passenger-car and light-truck line. The AMSOIL Vehicle Lookup Guide shows the right code for any diesel pickup.
What is the EaHD service interval?
EaHD filters are rated for the same drain interval as the AMSOIL synthetic engine oil they are paired with, not to exceed one year. The actual interval depends on the engine, the operating duty cycle, and the AMSOIL oil grade in service. Severe applications (heavy haul, off-road, high idle) typically run on a shorter interval than long-haul highway service.
Can a Heavy-Duty Oil Filter be paired with a bypass system?
Yes. EaHD spin-on filters work as the full-flow filter while an AMSOIL Bypass Filter (EaBP) installed on a remote mount handles partial-flow filtration of the same sump. The combination removes soot and particles down to about two microns from the same oil, which extends drain intervals and reduces wear on bearings, rings, and turbochargers.
Will a Heavy-Duty Oil Filter void a new engine warranty?
No. Using AMSOIL synthetic lubricants and AMSOIL filters does not void a new engine or vehicle manufacturer warranty. AMSOIL filters meet or exceed the relevant OEM spec and are backed separately by the AMSOIL Limited Liability Warranty.
Are EaHD filters available for older two-cycle Detroit engines?
The EaHD line covers four-stroke heavy-duty diesel and gasoline engines from Caterpillar, Cummins, Detroit Series 50/60, Mack, Volvo, Paccar, and Navistar. Older two-cycle Detroit Diesel applications fall outside the published EaHD coverage; the AMSOIL Vehicle Lookup Guide shows the recommended filter for those engines.
