My Oliver Operator Instructions say pour the oil into a clean container, scrape out the solids from the bottom of the bath cup and clean it well, then refill with the old oil and top up with new oil - not diluted or crankcase drainings.
See nothing wrong with this as it will save a lot of resource and anyhow it was being sucked up into the screen with dirt in it. Once the oil has trapped the particle it won't let it go! If you are not quite sure, then put your old air-cleaner oil into a can, allow to settle out and then recycle by carefully pouring off 'clean' oil for use later.
The lower efficiency of the oil bath type lies in the fact that they have a higher pressure loss. The paper element type can trap smaller dust particles. It is not necessarily that much worse to have an oil bath type as these smaller particles may only be a small percentage of the dust and generally would cause much less wear than the heavier 'grit' particles, as they would tend to remain in the gas stream and simply leave with the exhaust gases. Also the oil bath type are as good as your servicing - a small hole or gap in a dry system may be damaging and not detected. Roundabouts and swings, I think, RAB
