I'm not trying to pick a fight or anything, but if you change the oil as recommended AND clean the PCV system as recommended, it won't cause crankcase ventillation problems.
I think the reason Volvo decided to abandon the flame arrestor on Turbos is because any backfire will be directed all the way to the airbox, but on the Non-Turbo cars, it's right before the throttle body, and would blow that hose apart.
