I've seen a few posts about the ccv delete/reroute or adding in a catch can, but never seen any posts about replacing the OEM ccv filter itself so just wondering if this is something that should be done at certain intervals or don't give it a second thought kinda deal?

I’ve never taken mine out, but I don’t believe it’s a filter. I’m thinking it’s more of an adapter or at the most a baffle that doesn’t work well. I will say that I did a catch can reroute on mine. Overall I’m not really sure it’s worth it, aside from the “feel good” vibes. I’m definitely trapping a little oil and some condensation, but I’m still getting some oil in the CAC pipe. That oil has to be coming from the turbo, and like I stated it’s not much, but still present.

 

Same here. I took my can off and went back to the "naturally aspirated" version of 1" hose going back to the rear axle. It's 3-4' longer than it was the first time around, but it still stinks when the wind blows the right way.

Wish I could get that $500 back.

 

I hear ya!! This is why I went the cheap route. The theory sounds good, keeping the hot air and dirty oil out of the intake at a minimum. In practicality, if it does make a difference, it’s negligible. The psychological impact is priceless though.……ha ha.

 

The original part is called a filter, but it really is just a "coalescer".
