An other guess V70-XC70 1999

Not an empty oil filter. I pre-fill the filter housing before re-installing.
And probably not weather related, because I live in the San Francisco area, and it's just not that cold.

I got the new PCV parts today and will install them tomorrow, although I will be surprised if there is any grime in there, because this is a very clean motor, with oil changes twice as often as called for.

I happened to see a YouTube video about how hardened oil seals between the oil pan and block can cause frothy oil. The narrator said that if air was being pumped in along with the oil, frothy oil would be visible through the oil filler cap hole. This does not seem to be the case. The oil looks fine when seen through the filler hole.
