Solar energy, flaming brilliant it is. Not only does it make ALL my food grow, it will give me a nice tan and light all my days.
I think its good as long as it with moderation. everything we do needs to be balanced so that there wont be over consumption;however, this has not occurred and is almost impossible.
Dont disconnect this tube as this is for the Positive crankcase ventilation system (PCV). This helps recirculate the bly-by that the pistons wrings couldnt help seal out. Also this helps with the emissions on the car. It doesnt affect the emissions much but if you live in California youll need all the help you can get especially if your car has high miles. This is just my two cents.
Adding just a filter is rather a bad idea for a NA motor. You would now induce humid air into the motor as the PCV system is supposed to be sealed. The location that this filter is located at, is supposed to see a draw from the intake, applying a small vaccum to the valve cover. Thusly the addition of this filter is having the same affect as creating a vaccum leak(down thru the oil drains in the head, thru the block,the PCV valve and directly to the IM).
