What facts are there that prove that the little breather filters are bad? I know my intake tube has quite a bit of oil residue inside of it, all around where the breather hose connects. I also found some in the throttle body. Gunking up the intake air just doesn't seem good, imo.

So, is there any proof that crankcase breather filters are bad for Integra engines? Or is this a I-know-a-guy-who-knows-a-guy-who-heard-it's-bad kind of a thing?
