MT. BRADDOCK, PA - Green Filter USA introduces the first available replacement air filter (part# 2245) for the 2003 6.0L Ford Power Stroke(r) V8 Turbo Diesel. With a Green High Performance Air Filter(r), F-250/F-350 diesel owners can achieve an average 5% horsepower increase, improved throttle response, better fuel mileage and greater torque throughout the engine's RPM range. "We're committed to expanding our product line to include the newest filter applications, and the Ford Power Stroke six-liter is no exception," said Jason Early, sales and marketing director, Green Filter USA. "A Green Filter is a particularly useful for improved towing capability." The product of advanced air filtering technology and a handcrafted manufacturing process, Green Filters provide immediate power gains by delivering amplified, sustained airflow with filtration reduced to 5 microns. A Green Filter is also a smart investment. Paper filters typically retail from $10 to $15, with a recommended lifespan of 3,000 miles or with every oil change. A Green Filter, which never needs to be replaced, and requires only occasional cleaning, can pay for itself in only one year. As well, all Green Filters carry a limited lifetime warranty. Three unique design elements give Green Filters a distinct advantage over competing products.

Foremost among these is a 2-layer, woven cotton construction. Most common high performance filters are made from layered cotton gauze, a material that wears quickly and allows oil and worn cotton to be drawn into the engine from intake pressure. Green eliminates these problems with an interlock weave that creates a thinner, more durable filter that ensures consistent airflow over time, and allows for repeated cleanings. To prevent air leaks around the seal, Green utilizes an inventive rigid pleat design to help the edges around the rubber stay sealed to the air box. Green pleats are aligned parallel to the width so that more pleats can be fit to the filter.

The result is a greater surface area allowing for better air passage and improved engine power. Finally, where many other filter companies employ pressure mold injecting to speed up manufacturing, Green Filter uses a precision four-stage, handcrafted molding process. Injection molding frequently results in 20-25% blockage of the flowing surface area due to rubber spillover. By adding the extra quality measures, Green ensures that its filter moldings are almost exact around the edges - eliminating wasted surface area and improving overall airflow.
