Deve,
What i can tell you about the cannister, is I still run it on my '59 235,
with the oil bath aircleaner as well....
The truck see's about 1000 miles a month lately, and the oil is as clean as
can be...I don't get in the dirt too often...but comparing the oil in it vs.
my other cars...I'd say it keeps the oil clean enough....
