Russ,

I could not agree more.  I feel so very, very strongly about this.  Having
crossed the Sahara Desert at least six times in air-cooled Volkswagens and more
in other vehicles as well as spendind years travelling in outback Australia and
in wild parts of Central Africa, I cannot stress more that there is nothing
better than and oil-bath air cleaner, especially one designed and built as
original equipment for a vehicle.  And, it is far, far cheaper, too.  You can
even use your old engine oil in it.
