Default Engine crank breather filter C44410

I’m curious as to what purpose filter C44410 serves. This is filter located under the breather cap. Is it something that routinely needs to be replaced? As shown below in diagram

I believe it's an oil coalescing filter, causes any fumes to condense and drain back into the crankcase. It's a metal piece, never needs replacing. Maybe cleaning occasionally, but that's not generally a routine thing.

I can't quote a reference, but thought it was a flame arrestor to prevent lean backfires in intake system from going into the crank case???
The vertical screen coalesces the oil fumes into oil that drains back to block.???

I've not heard the flame arrestor thing, but that doesn't prove anything.

Anyhow, anyone without it shouldn't be too surprised. Jaguar eventually stopped installing them on the Series III cars. I can't remember when, offhand. 1985? I'm sure there's a TSB for it but it would take a lot of slogging to find it.

Cleaning both screens....which is seldom ever done....isn't a bad idea. If clogged the resulting increased crankcase pressure will worsen any oil leaks.

Cheers
