Personally, I have not heard of the oil traps going bad on the 5 cylinder engines. If you are going to replace the oil trap, I suggest overhauling the entire PCV system since you are going to need to remove a lot of the system anyway to replace the oil trap. On the 5 cylinder engines it is good maintenance to replace/clean the PCV system at 150-200k. So you would be doing it just a bit early...:)

Not familiar with the diaphragm you mentioned. Maybe that only applies to to the 3.2 6 cylinder engines? Other more knowledgeable folks will probably expand on this topic.

One last thought. Do you use synthetic motor oil in the XC90? That is highly recommended as it will keep the PCV clean much longer than conventional oil. The 5 cylinders really do better with synthetic oil. It is particularly important if yours is a turbo.
