Oil Filter causing problems? S70 1998

posted by  someone claiming to be Ray Niblett on  Mon Jan 28 05:54 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I think a clogged flame trap would cause a rear seal more
often then something like an oil filter. (Noramlly aspirated
engines have a flame trap, aka PCV Valve, and they are
often neglected and should be cleaned annually.)

The check-valve keeps oil in the engine for better starts with
less engine wear (a lot of engine wear occurs at startup). You
could just order the OEM filters and ask the local shops to use
them. I don't see any reason to do this until the next oil change.
