i have a ford 4000 and it has a Donaldson pre cleaner which swirls the air idea being the fine dust is spun into the pre cleaner and the swirling air continues down the pipe into the filter which is an oil bath most paper filters also have a pre cleaner no filter will trap all the dirt as a motor wouldn’t run it would starve for air.

P.S. the swirling air also increases fuel economy and power on a diesel engine.

If you ever doubt the effectiveness of an oil bath, plumb one in before a paper filter air cleaner. I did and the paper filter was clean and white for over 4 years. Did not need any formulas to tell me they are/where the best.

Hi Dave,

What was the answer to your question about which compartments to fill?
I have the same question on my MF 135.
