Re: Oil bath air cleaner
Little bit of cleaning with solvent, shake it dry, refill with 50w and good to go. But yeh, papers easier.

Re: Oil bath air cleaner
I don't have a picture of it handy, but I have an off-set oil bath for an inliner w/ power brakes. I think I'm going to run it. As much as I drive, I'd only have to clean it once a year or less.

Re: Oil bath air cleaner
I have always been told that these oil bath filters were a whole lot better than paper.
I'm sure smog regulations was another reason they got rid of them. |

Re: Oil bath air cleaner
Ok, here's 2 I have. I know the second one is not an oil bath but the other might be, not sure. In any case, these are the offset type specifically used on 6 cylinder with power brake trucks.
The first one I got from a big 69 C30 truck. The second one was on a 69 C30as well but I'm not certain it's correct for that year. I occasionally get a third type which looks like the first one but is smaller. Confused yet? I am.

Re: Oil bath air cleaner
K and N filters are the same concept. Oil soaked fiber is going to trap more dirt than a dry piece of paper.
