The sole purpose of oil cup in breather is to absorb dust particles in the air which is going to transformer. Silica gel absorbs moisture and oil cup absorbs the dust particle.

Answer / chandrasen mourya

If it is directly exposed to air it will become pink &
hence cannot be used. Its purpose is only to allow the air

Answer / sumit srivastava

it is filled with oil so that even if breathing action is
not occuring ,the oil is prevented from absorbing
moisture.So when breathing action occurs silica gel takes
care of the transformer oil and in idle conditions it is
protected by oil.
