In these types of car air cleaners lower cavity was filled partially with motor oil and air flow was filtered through oil. The oil should be changed time to time for the efficient working of such air filters.

They are simple but really efficient. Their working method was simple. They force incoming air to go through a vertically descending path that go towards the pool of oil and then drawn upward. The mass of dust molecule is million times more than air molecule, the moment of inertia of dust particle is too much to make it impossible to follow the sudden change of direction, which result the dust particles to strike the oil pool and the dust particle get trapped.
