It looks like those crankcase filters will work okay and they are reasonably priced. QtrAcre says it is important to filter out the small particulates because in the pump air housing more "dirt" prematurely wears out the vanes. Also blow into the filter to make sure there is very little resistance to air flow in and out. Then knowing this as a new filter it is a good way to check how much clogging there is on the filter. As long as there is good free air movement through the filter it should be okay to continue using it.
