Yep, good point.
It's a good place to find contacts but not much of a technical resource.

There are only two references to oil "filtration" in the 1933 Chassis Service Manual.
Here are pics of those 2 pages.

The first reference is in the Oil Pan Assembly section:


And this, from the Engine Lubrication section.
The left column describes the oil pump and filter/screen function:



"Oil pressure may read zero with the engine idling but should show pressure with the throttle open slightly."


I have not touched the straight 8 in my 33 yet, so I can't offer any hands-on info.
