had is a better word..by the time an oil sample tells you anything it's to late...

Not totally, unless it's catistrophic. I had one one time and it told me I had a leak somewhere.  Sure enough, it was a joint in the piping. Fixed it,  next sample cleaned up and all was good.

Before an air filter got bad enough to let dirt in, you'd surely notice other signs.....or you should if you are observant.

i should have specified dust in an oil sample... we were taught one teaspoon of dust was deadly.

Scott, it looks and feels like some kind of synthetic material. It is not affected by water. It is contained in a plastic mesh. The ends are glued to the housing. It is very solid. Different than a regular replaceable filter cartridge.
