Rockin' the gas mileage while commuting to Seattle!

Granted I'm on the highway for this, but I never expected it. Ever. Almost done with break-in....still lovin' every minute in it.

Okay, so here's the question. As you can see from the pictures above I have the catch can installed but haven't yet installed the oil lines. My hesitation is related to the tape used to seal the threads...is it the same teflon tape used in plumbing or is it specific to oil line usage?

What I have on now is "Thread seal tape" made of PTFE. If it's the same stuff, great I'm ready to go. If it's NOT the right stuff I'll have to swap it out before I proceed.

Thoughts?
