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 ....?

I only use genuine filters in my provent 200 all other filters are mahlie, mann and hummel or genuine thanks.

Any idea of real/actual km between filter changes for the Provent? Don't have documentation with me but think I recall recommended at 50K km?

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

there’s no need to ask how I know these things

Relax until you’ve done 20,000km on a new filter and then lift the bonnet / hood every week (you’ll be doing that anyway checking the fluid levels) and eyeball the canister around the valves for the aforementioned visual cues

Could go to 40,000 before the filter clogs. People have been known to soak the filters in degreaser and reuse them

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