Dirty oil certainly plays a role in a clogged flame trap but so do driving habits. If the car is constantly driven in such a manner that accumulation of excess scummy white condensate is evident, the flame trap will clog more readily. A lifetime of low speed short distance driving does not help.
Just my opinion. As is my recommendation to swap out the flame trap on higher mileage vehicles, especially ones for which you do not know their history.
