I raise order already for this item to my supplier but not that much because i dont know the level of demand yet. And the lead time is very frustrating 3 months from NOW! because they will order this from Germany. Hope you guys here will understand but if the inquiries here is overwhelming i will raise another order this time should be more. So right now we now our problem is the supply side. So those who are interested to purchase this MANN Provent 200 oil catch can please send us your name because my first batch of order to arrive 3 months from now is not so many, so we will be on first come first serve basis for the first batch. I can guarantee you will be given priority for those who will ask for reservation thru SMS.
twinscan,
if you can provide us the cost of the filter, guys like me who are planning to get this Provent 200 will have an idea on how much is the additional expenses (replacement new filter)
i have read the Installation and Maintenance of Mann +Hummen Provent Oil Separator for Open and Closed Crankcase Ventilation Systems, the manual recommend to change the filter after 1000 operating hours or at least once a year
(footnote: The maintenance interval can vary greatly depending on the actual oil available and the dirt/soot content in the blowby gas).
