This is a crankcase breather filter, also known as a crankcase ventilation filter, which is part of the engine's emissions control system. It filters the air that is recirculated from the crankcase back into the intake system, removing oil mist and combustion byproducts. A blocked breather filter can cause excessive crankcase pressure, leading to oil leaks and reduced engine efficiency. Symptoms include oil seeping from seals and gaskets, or a noticeable increase in oil consumption.
Always verify with serial number before ordering.

Never run an engine without a filter — even briefly causes abrasive damage. Pre-fill fuel filters with clean fuel before fitting to reduce prime time. Replace O-rings on filter housings every second service. Record change dates on filter housing.
Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.
The first indication of a blocked crankcase breather filter is often oil weeping from engine seals and gaskets, particularly the valve cover or oil pan gasket. If left unaddressed, the increasing crankcase pressure can lead to more significant oil leaks and potentially cause internal engine damage due to improper lubrication.
Ensure the mounting surface for the filter is clean and free of old gasket material before installing the new unit. Do not force the filter into place if it does not seat easily; check for obstructions.
Inspect the engine's oil seals and gaskets for signs of leakage and check the oil level and condition.
