Air brake dryer question - Guido - 04-16-2018

Can someone tell me how to drain my air tanks?
I can’t find any way to drain them.
Also today while looking for the tank drains I found the air dryer behind the tag axle on drivers side.
And notice it has a filter labeled as an oil filter?
Does this seem right. I always thought the air dryer had a desiccant filter.
Not sure what brand dryer I have.
Coach is #1267 a 2009

Guido,
Did you get the owners manual & product manuals with your coach?  If so I would start in the owners manual which should have a section for what filters your coach uses.  Second place to look is the product manuals which should include one for the air dryer.  Third I would call Newell. Very important to have the right filter & change it regularly.

All eleven of my air tanks have an air drain like this.
