I'm going to have to side with SMA saying the dry pleated paper elements are better. Some of the smallest particles of dust/dirt really don't increase wear in engines all that much. You look at DONALDSON's website and compare performance figures for both oil bath & dry-type air filters and the dry-type remove much more dust/dirt, in some cases 99.5% verses 90-95% for oil bath air cleaners. In fact most oil-bath filters aren't even rated. You compare the steel mesh that's coated with oil that's supposed to collect the dust/dirt out of the air and the holes in it are MUCH larger than the holes in the paper element.
