Default Breather Filter (?)

Greetings,

I recently acquired a 1995 Caravan, 3.0L V6, and while changing the air filter noticed that there was another smaller filter beneath it and within it's own compartment. The size is ~3"L x 1"W x 1"D. I've been told this is a breather filter.

However, when going to NAPA to get a replacement the one they had was a thin cotton-like material about 1" square.

What should I be asking for?

Many thanks!

Crankcase breather element is what Rock Auto calls it. Around $1.

Thanks, much appreciated. I went to AutoZone last night and they asked "Is it upper or lower?" which threw another wrench into the works. There is only one, correct?

Again, many thanks.

My memory is a bit foggy but I believe there was a little one tucked down in the corner of the air filter housing so that would be the lower one and there was also a larger one which would be the upper.
