Here is my take on air filters. Oil Bath filters are the best, followed by foam filters that you wash and keep oiled, followed by paper filters.
I had a late '70s or early '80s John Deere 400 garden tractor. It was availabe with an oil bath air filter if ordered as heavy duty extra equipment. It was a rare option as most people opted for the less expensive standard paper filter.
