I keep reading about this flam trap maintenance on this site, before I start on my routine maintenance of my 244GL w/ 72k miles, should I buy from FCP Groton the plastic or the Metal trap? Is one better than the other? I know I will install a longer hose so future maintenance will be easier (from what I've read), but is it necessary to always change/clean this flam trap filter every oil change (I've read this numerous times on this site)? I've also read that I could take a flame torch to a metal trap and burn it to clean it up. Is it wise to do this and re-use the same trap. Thanks for all your help.
