My old '78 air filter was just wet with oil , so much so I had to remove the entire housing and de-grease it . after a few oil changes and etc. it no longer pukes oil out the breather...

routine driving...mostly its city driving..lots of stops...and it is the white vapor...i change ever 3,000 +/- 100
