I would suggest you put back the hose I think its got sumthing to do with the oil. I was working on my car one day with a friend folded to hose to get more room but forgot to straighten it back. I drove to work as soon as I got off the freeway I noticed the oil light flashing pulled into a gas station shut off the car opened the hood and straighten the hose then pulled the dip stick and it sound like the was air in there.which is due to the restriction in the hose. So disconnecting the hose is not a good idea.

NOT having the STOCK crankcase vent hose attached to the engine intake is in violation of the EPA regulations regarding auto pollution. You can do jail time! Hook it back up. Plus........ using the "filter" is aftermarket LAME and MICKEY MOUSE.

newbie, please stop passing bad information as gospel...and being rude while doing it.

Pulling your leg to some degree........but, practically for our cars, removing the crankcase vent hose from the intake can create performance issues as alluded to by someone prior, because the MAF is not sensing the air WHEN this air is entering the intake (downstream of the TB) via the PCV valve. This air supply is actually originating from the crankcase vent, which is normally supplied by air from the intake "air box". (It will have no affect when the normal "backflow" of crankcase vapors/blowby occurs at or near WOT.)
