Two types of air cleaner are available for Studebaker cars. One is the
“oil wetted” type for cars operated a greater part of the time over
pavement and roads which are comparatively free from dust. The other is
known as the “oil bath” type and is available at extra cost for cars
operated where dust conditions are severe.
Dust particles, although microscopically small, are highly abrasive and
tend to score and cut the smooth glasslike surfaces of working
parts—increasing the rate of wear. The proper type of air cleaner
installed on your car, properly maintained and serviced, will increase
the life of the engine, and aid in maintaining its normal efficiency.

Because local conditions alone determine the frequency of air cleaner
service, it will be necessary to ask your dealer how often this should
be performed.
