Default PCV mod/filter question?

the filter I bought has a 20 micron element - is this ok?? OK - they didnt have one with a glass bowl,all of them had polycarbonate bowls-is this ok? Once I got home I see a 40-120 degree operating range sticker behind the filter-WHY?? is the bowl gonna melt? I have a black C5 even the inside gets over 120 degrees. SHould I return this?? Is it up to the job? HEP me?

Mine is a cambell hausfield (sp?) made from aluminum and glass, since the filter was originally designed for high pressure but low temps I'd feel safer with metal and glass.
