The oil traps the dirt. On the type of air cleaners (meaning the whole unit) IH used, much of the dirt is deposited in the cup at the bottom of the unit by centrifugal force. The rest is suppose to be trapped in the mesh inside the sir cleaner body. I hadn't thought of the loss of efficiency at part throttle operation. Makes sense, because at high rpm, there would be more centrifugal force, thus more dirt forced into the bottom of the oil cup. When the tractors were new the recommendation was to operate at full throttle. For tillage operations, there usually wasn't enough power for the more modern "gear up throttle down" thing. The only part throttle use our tractors got was cultivation, which usually was not very dusty.
