Hi there
Anyone have a oil bath air filter for sale? I currently use a KN rechargeable and wonder if a 'oil bath' would be quieter.
Thank you!

Hi Bill,
I recently bought an oil bath air filter from a chap near Calgary. I found his advert on Kijiji, he had 2 available when I bought one. I can send you his email address if you like. He only wanted $20 for this.

From experience yes oil bath filters are quieter than the k&n pancake type filters that tend to roar

Do you know or have you experienced whether oil bath air filters restrict air flow? If they do, I suspect its only an issue at "hwy speed".

They are fine for a 2.25. What engine is this?
They are not the greatest way to filter the air though. Neither is K&N.
Hi Red90
It is a 2.5 l diesel.

I would get the normal Defender air filter for the 2.5D then. I'm sure there are some around with the ex-MOD parts hoarders. If you suck the oil from the oil bath into the diesel it will take off for the moon.
That said, I have no idea how Santana arranged the engine or engine bay. What was there originally?

Hi Bill
You are welcome. Sorry I don't know how this would fare with your Diesel engine. Good luck
