Catch Can Question
If I'm only going to put 6500 miles a year on my car do I still need a Catch Can? Thanks

you don't ever need one, but they are great at keeping your engine cleaner

Like, if you are only going to be driving 6500 miles a year, do you need insurance? no, but it's highly recommended.  The goal is to help prolong the life of your engine, with all options out there.

Exactly all it does is catch small amounts of atomized oil that would be burned off by the engine... I believe that this is also better for the environment, instead of being burned and dispersed into the atmosphere, the contents of my catch can are dumped onto my neighbors lawn.

I just emptied out mine right now. Half full of crap. Was really light this time because of the cold weather condensation i think.

I was freaking out last year when the same thing happened to me, because creamy oil can be the sign of a blown head gasket  JDP Tyler set me straight.

 it's a relatively cheap mod and can't hurt as long as installed properly and emptied regularly.
