greg g Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 The air path is the key. The design makes the incoming air turn 180 degrees above the oil. The air makes the turn, but any stuff it's carrying, succumbs to gravity and falls into the oil getting trapped there. The fiber and gauze upper filter is for the larger chunks. The upper filter depends of aereation and heat to make a vapor that when shut down rises in the filter to refresh the gauze and fiber part. So by changing to a thicker oil in the bottom, you may be defeating the creation of that vapor, lessening the upper filters effectiveness. The incoming air does not pass through the oil. Its job is impoundment of contaminants being pulled from the air flow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
