Dear Cadillac Friends,

I am trying to locate a good used oil bath filter element for my '54.  I believe this element is the same for '54-'56 Cadillac and Oldsmobile.  I have the air cleaner assembly, but it is missing the original element.  I know many people convert these over to paper, so maybe someone has their original element lying around.
Thanks,  Rex Crews #14687

Dear Larry,

Thanks for pointing that out.  I checked but it is the entire air cleaner.  I only need the element.  Best, Rex

Hello Rex,

By element are you referring to the sealed round part that goes over the oil bath pan?

That the batwing cover goes on?

Referring to the picture of the one for sale, is it the far left part?

Hi, Jason,

Yes, it's the actual center/filter section of the air cleaner.  I recently bought a '54 Olds 98 which uses the same air cleaner as the Cadillac, and it is beautiful except for the missing filter element, so I am trying to locate one.  Thanks, Rex
