I know the flatheads don't but in my Farmall , the air does actually go thru the oil. As it sucks the oil up the canister it gets trapped in a wire mesh and falls back to the cup carrying the dirt with it. It took me a while to grasp the oil level being higher than the inlet to the oil cup but the filtration in that setup has to be outstanding.
