My catch can results...

After changin the oil last weekend i was actually surprised to see the amount of oil the catch can actually caught. I was a little bit sceptical putting it in and it actually doing something. It was definetly a bit over a 2liter bottle cap full. For anyone out there considering doing this mod its a great idea. Just my 2 cents...i know the guys out there that are running one know this already so dont be hatin.

He said Cap Full. As long as there's some kind of baffle, should do the trick.

I use a fuel filter on my breather side. I usually change it every other oil change. I use clear hose so I can see when the oil starts getting through the filter.

I use a BIG truck fuel filter between my PCV and ITM. I'm going to start using clear tube on it and changing it every oil change. Fuel filter work well.

According to my calculations, I'll spend $7 every 10k miles in fuel filters vs. $100 or so catch can. Catch cans look better and work a little better, but bang/buck, fuel filters win. So even after 100k miles of using twin fuel filters, you only spent $70, as opposed to a $80-100 catch can. They work good for me, so I'm happy.

I do think a REAL catch can would work better for the PCV side, for it catches MUCH more oil, but on the breather side, I don't see a need for a catch can. $2-5 fuel filter works great. Ghetto, sure, but who cares? It works.......

My catch cans started collecting water when the weather became cold. Its definitely not coolant, and compression is fine (175psi). I think it has something to do with the winter gasoline.
