In Reply to: Re: convert oil bath air filter to paper cartridge posted by G Taylor , if so great where did the oil baths go? on July 04, 2001 at 11:15:58:
I never saw an oil bath ruin an engine becasue the element had a hole in it, or the seam wasn't glued properly. For a non turboed smaller HP engine their isn't anything wrong with using an oil bath. From my memeory alone, I remember the JD 95 combine engines that WIX ruined becasue the length of the filter was a hair to short. By the way, WIX was also building air filters for Deere at the time, and used the Deere specs which had an error. Deere paid to fix the engines their filters ruined, but WIX didn't. WIX said is was JDs fault. I also remember a truck engine that was ruined becasue the original filter had a square seal and it didnt matter which side the dirty air was on. The WIX filter had a lip type seal like an oil seal, and it sucked the dirty air past the seal and ruined a Caterpillar 3406 engine. WIX wouldn't pay for that one either, and to this day build s the filter the same way. A couple years ago, I bought a new air filter for my F150. For some reason when as installed it, I looked inside it (its a cone shape) good thing I did, as the pleats where not glued shut at the end. I took it back to the auto parts store for a refund, and they put it right back on the shelf. Use your oil bath, and properly service it. It's not going to hurt anything. FYI, Donaldson is still building new oil bath air cleaners. If there wasn't a use for them they wouldn't be selling them.
