After reading some of these posts, I have the feeling that there is a misconception on exactly how an oil bath air filter works. In MOST oil bath applications, the air going from the atmosphere into the engine does not actually go through the oil, but the dirt is simply flung into the oil by centrifugal force. In other words, (if the oil bath filter has the correct amount of oil in it) the air makes a sudden change of direction, (usually 180�) and the weight of the dirt causes the dirt take a different path than the air and the dirt hits and remains in the oil. The massive amounts of air sucked in by the engine is not submerged in the oil like a lot of people believe. IMO, this type of air filter should never have been called oil bath, but rather a centrifugal filter. So, if the oil bath filter has the correct amount of oil in it, the starting fluid will get past the oil and make it's way into the engine, albeit probably not as well as if the engine has a paper filter on it instead of an oil bath. My $.02 worth anyway.
