Oil is getting in but I wonder if any is passing through it (the Lowe's one) ?
put two of them inline together and you would be able to tell very quickly

I used this exact same setup (got the same filter from Lowe's and everything) and oil passed through. After a few weeks, I noticed that the oil level stopped rising in the reservoir, so I pulled the hose on the manifold side and it was saturated. So far my AMW catch can has been solid

Yeah mine is doing that too. The problem is the solid filter they use for air tools. Oh well, good try anyway.

Why dont you just use a 1 lb pressure switch in line with the PVC hose to close off the PVC under boost, like the STS kits use?
