It's been my experience that the dry type is far superior! We run motorscrapers in very dusty conditions. Years ago, we had three with oil bath cleaners, had to clean & change oil every 8 hours. The very principle of a oil bath is having a lot of surface for the particles to bump into and for the oil to wash them down to the pan.The dry type stops particles by forcing all of the air to go though very small holes (3 mil). When the dry type plugs up it starves the engine for air and the operator can know to service it. When the oil bath "plugs" up it channels the air without any restriction. If you go the dry route get one that has cyclone precleaners and is designed for your engine displacement and is for extreme duty.
