Ich kenne leider nur Nassluftfilter (oil-wetted air cleaner) und Ölbadluftfilter (oil bath air cleaner), Nassbadfilter dagegen sind mir neu ;-)

wet-bath filter

I'd go with a literal translation. It doesn't get many hits, but the German gets only one. It may be significant that all the English hits relate either to tractors or vintage pickup trucks.
Example sentence:

It’s a wet-bath filter so the job is messy, but it only takes a rinse with paraffin and topping up with oil.

I found water in the crankcase when I drained the oil and the wet bath filter was all gummed up with white sludge/goo after it had been sitting in the rain for awhile.

wet-washed (air) filter

The California Environmental Engineering conducted a scientific test comparing a new air filter, a rebuilt air filter, and a wet-washed air filter, against an air filter cleaned by the Sonic Dry Clean process, to determine which filter performed the best in reducing particulate pollution.
The results were simply amazing. The filter cleaned by Sonic Dry Clean was nearly three times more effective in reducing particulate pollution than the wet washed filter; was much more effective than the rebuilt air filter; and was even more effective than the brand new filter. In fact, the brand new filter emitted 15,000 particles per cubic foot more than the air filler cleaned by Sonic.
