It's a matter of preference, as to whether to convert from the oil bath breather, but if I'm not mistaken, the purpose was to use non-detergent oil which allows the contaminants to settle down to the bottom, as opposed to being suspended within the oil, even then on a breather it probably makes no difference ( or does it ? ) as to what type of oil you use. I know on older small engines, where the crankcase oil is a splash lube type, without a pressurized oil system, non detergent would seem to be the logical choice as the contaminants settle out to the bottom of the sump or pan, and not get suspended within the oil to be filtered out, as in a pressurized system with a filter.
