If I recall correctly yours is a PROVENT 200. Do you still use the genuine filter or did you end up swapping to the stainless steel mesh ....?Quote:

You change filters on the Provent? Oooops
I'm not sure of change intervals but I do mine every 70000ks I think I paid about $70 for the last filter someone told me that the filters can be washed out and reused I have not tried this though.
Thanks phil
When to change depends on engine condition but what to look for is when the filter is clogged the pressure relief valve will vent and you’ll get an oily film developing on the outside of the canister and you’ll also see the same oily film when you’ve forgotten to periodically drain the canister [emoji15] there’s no need to ask how I know these things [emoji56]Quote:

That’s very little oil collected. Why all that trouble and not just let the breather go straight down to somewhere near the transmission?
