That just it... people are always wanting to bring in opinion when this is science and facts.
Opinions are worthless... like arguing green cars are better than blue cars....
Most of the early air cleaners where mesh and oil bath which don't plug up or cause restriction when dirty.
The oil debate is often a click bait, pot stir tactic used to get people riled.
In the end its pointless because the end failure is no oil in the engine that it fails not what type etc...
