Depends.

Time frame?

I get maybe a tea spoon every 10,000ks

I get none, as the Provent is plumbed to return to sump.

How much are you getting? I get a cup or more per 6 months.

My Td5 has 440,000km on the clock and over a 16,000km interval I collected 400ml of oil from a Provent 100 fitted with a genuine filter. That averages out to 25ml per 1000km. I do mostly country driving and would expect the same from a Provent 200.

The 100 is likely to be slightly restrictive on a TD5 so I would expect a little more as the the CC pressure could/would be slightly higher.

Yes, You would expect so and it would be nice to do a comparison.

I have 4”/H2O at idle which works out to 0.14 psi and 8”/H2O at 2000rpm (stationary - no load) which is 0.28 psi measured at the dipstick tube.
14 inches of water is 0.5 psi.
