doesn't even matter too much if it isn't oil resistant, as long as you keeo your eye on oil level.

No it wont!

Been there done that and worn the tshirt!

There is a good reason ford charge Ł30 for them! It will split in a major way and quickly piss all your oil out under the car and probably look like a blown turbo/smoke screen when it hits the hot exhaust downpipe!

Try speaking to rouse or samco, they may not be as cheap as above but probably cheaper than the Ford item!

the oil breather isnt under the same conditions as the return,constant hot oil flow compared to vapour,ask the seller is the easiest way

Why not do it in aeroquip? Expensive but would more than do the job and look the bollox?

Although I am happy to admit not many, especially those with an active social life, are bothered about making their oil return pipes look 'the bollox'! LOL!
