I take it your not buying the HP spark plug wires or underdrive pulley either.....

Right, and I'll bet Mr. Tracy is more wiley than you suspect. I do the same thing in my business (lightly suggest that while I have the best product, the buying decision is yours). He's good at that for sure. It's all gravy until someone actually asks you to back up your claims. Then you have to try to flip the issue, prove your claims, or abort. We'll see what happens live...

You must be very young, no offense to the other young drivers on here with common sense.

If you do what you say in your business then it's highly unlikely that you have the best of anything.

Bottom line. A catch can keeps waste that doesn't belong in the combustion chamber out. Years ago this waste was just ran out on the ground. The RX catch can happens to be nearly 100% efficient at doing what it is supposed to.

Proven:
1. A catch can removes some percentage of oil from the intake
2. A catch can can look cool under the hood

Unproven:
1. A catch can adds power by reducing knock retard
2. A catch can increases the operating lifetime of an engine

Any oil removed from the intake will extend the life of an engine Is oil supposed to be there? No. Does oil burn clean? No. Will burned oil leave deposits? Yes. Will any amount of oil over time foul plugs and gum up valves? Yes. Seriously bro, find somewhere else to troll. Use some common sense before posting nonsense. Run your car how you want.

Nobody loves you...

I have a idea. how about you buy one and do all the experiments you want to prove or disprove what ever you want. Do us a favor and stop your messing up treads. Becides once you complete you experiments you can sell it if you dont like it.

Here is a blurb from the newest Motor Trend:

Chrysler to add a new "Oil Misting spearator amd a specofic positive crankcase vent system" for durability.

The DI motors are all experiancing excess detremental early carbon deposit buildup as fuel is injected directly into the combustion chamber and no mixture flows past the intake valves to help keep deposits from forming.

All auto manufacturers are aware of the issue and the detrimental
effects on an engines performance and life and all have been revising and changing the PCV system to address this, but Chrysler has been doing theis for several years now and this is just the latest.

I suspect this joker has been put up to this by a banned vandor or is that vedor himself as he seems to have nothing positive to post to help any members....just wants to confuse and be negative. Anyone is free to take care of their car or neglect it....its a free world, but most members here want the best for their baby and thats why you see me go to the extent I do with what I contribute.

Tell us your business and what you sell and where so we can follow you around and interfere with what ever you do (even though we most likely are not educated in your field and have no clue like its obvious in your case).

Proven 1. agreed
Proven 2. I'm not a fan of anything additional under the hood unless it serves a valid need. So would I rather a cc not be there? Yes.

Unproven 1. and 2. Seriously?

Do you think that all of the members on here have never been into other platforms over many years?

The good news is anyone without an agenda can research and find out about oil/water oil/air separators for many applications. The oil/air separator used on a cruise ships is really quite impressive. If you are lucky enough to see the cutaway illustration and description of how each section works it is very interesting.

As far as the comment about the troll, I was thinking the same thing. There is a positive side effect (not positive for the troll) to a troll's mission, people truely interested will educated themselves. Those that already have done so on this subject know that, no matter the particular vendor, there will be an increase in sales.

That's actually a good idea. I may have to do just that because it's apparent the ones selling the product haven't done any as I'm sure it would have been posted by now if they had.

I may have to buy another brand though as I'm not sure Terry would still sell me one

I have just unsubscribed to this thread as it has become rediculous.

1. Proven - I have too much oil in my intake manifold.
2. Proven - There is a way tocatch the oil and prevent this.
3. Proven - Some people like to argue, adnauseum.

OUT!
