The tube with the calibrated hole (indicated by the arrow in the figure on the right) must always be clean.



To improve the efficiency of ventilation at idle speed and with the throttle valve partially open, fresh air partially enters the upper part of the oil filler plug through a wire filter, mixes with crankcase gases, is fed through a hose into the intake manifold and is burned.

In the full throttle mode, crankcase gases are additionally sucked out through the carburetor. The distribution of gas flows is determined by the diameter of the hole in the oil filler plug, the size of which corresponds to a certain type of engine.

On early engine models, all crankcase ventilation hoses connected to the oil filler plug, with the lower hose providing fresh air directly into the crankcase.

The wire filter of the crater ventilation system, located in the oil filler plug, must be washed every 20,000 km of the vehicle's mileage.
