(i read somewhere the driver's side seems to get more than the passenger side - may have even been in this thread).

Thanks.

It will vary from engine to engines.
Some will need constant servicing eg every 5-10k, some will require less frequent 10-20k.
You will need to initially monitor your own engine to give you an idea of servicing intervals.

I would always recommend to clean the filters when your car is serviced eg 7-10k.

Hi David, Is there any word on the life long oil breather filters kpm were working on?

Hi

We are finding it very difficult to produce an 100% ethanol/petrol filter at a cost that is not prohibitive.
At the moment we recommend more regular servincg or replacemant of the filter until we have a suitable replacemant.

What advantage, if any, do these oil breathers offer when compared to the Ford Racing Oil-Air Separator kits?

Both systems are designed to catch the oil from going into the intake air system

The Streetfighter oil separators, will catch the oil while the engine is running and hold it in an oil separator filter. When the engine is not running the oil returns back to the sump as normal. The rest of the Positive crankcase system remains clean

1) No oil is used(no oil top ups)
2) only requires cleaning/servicing of filters when engine oil is serviced
eg less maintainace

Hi Dave,

Hoping this thread is a good place to ask. I purchased two oil breathers some years ago after the post on this thread stating all supplied breathers were mk2.. I did also ask on purchase and was told mk2 are supplied. After servicing the breathers today it appears that my LH side is a mk1 breather with the flat aluminium finish where as the drivers side is the black cone shaped finish.

On servicing the RH side was dry with minimal evidence of oil and although dry the foam material was perishable but had not broken up and went anywhere. The LH side was soaked in oil and unable to drain away due to being the old style.

My car does minimal kms hence so long for the service but I will be checking them more frequently from now on from what I’ve seen.

I would like to replace the LH side with a mk2 breather as it clearly does a better job of draining the oil and I was also assured mk2 on purchase, not sure why I got one of each.

If you could come up with a cost effective solution for me to get the breather spec I originally asked for it would be much appreciated.

Kind Regards,
