It is really just there to catch the oil in the mist and stop it being blown away. As the sponge gets full it falls out and is suppose to drain back.
Usually ends up spilling every where.

Another idea is get a couple of those stainless steel scourer things and open them up. Pack the box with them instead. They will catch the oil and wont fill up like a sponge.

I have the CB style and it just has baffles in there. Does the same job



Ooops .... whats the foam..... not ....whats it there for..... oh well

Try to find air cleaner foam otherwise.
As long as the foam is resistant to oil (upolstry foam isn't and is 'open' as in it will allow air through it.
Some foams are closed so won't breath.

I'd use the stainless scourer as you can easily wash out and reinstal. It's only there as Blue said to pull the oil out of suspension.
