I hate to thread jack here but still being skeptical that I wasted my money I have one question.
How hard are some of you driving to get one to two cups of oil separated in 3000 to 3500 miles? Considering what little bit, actually a teaspoon at most, I have dumped and only drive aggressive on occasion I just can't see how some of you are getting so much oil separated. I am curious. Dean. |

The oil catch can in my Challenger SRT8 catches about 1/4 cup of oil every 3,000 miles. Well worth it to me.

Every engine is different and your climate will make a difference as well IMO. Before I changed gears I only got about half that of the picture I took. Now since I changed out the gears to 3.91's my rpm is around 2600 of 2000 so getting more oil. Even if you only getting a teaspoon after a while you valves will be caked and performance lowered.

Worth it no matter what. Whether you race or not.

Here is a picture of the intake runners on a brand new 2014 1LE we have in here for a cam install. This car has 187 miles on it and as you can see it already has some build up. Imagine what this will look like after 20k or even 100K miles!

Talking about this, I should probably check up on mine... I don't drive my car as much and only have only driven it about 5300 miles in the last year since I got it. Time to go check up on it.

Are you sure you didnt do a "clean side" install of the can? I mean....I have NEVER heard of some one NOT catching oil with these cans. EVERYONE catches oil. Yoiu are the first and it seems wrong not to be catching oil. |

It all depends on how hard you drive. If you drive like a normal person most of the time there will be very little oil.

I ordered an apex catch can for my car. Been on for about 5,000 miles. It's defiantly caught more than I expected. My car has 37,000 on it. Wish I had got one a long time ago.
