Highly recommend for those of us that didn't put a catch can on until later.

Side note: I asked the tech about the amount of oil in my catch can after a couple hundred miles. I thought it was a bit much. He said no. He indicated the LFX has somewhat "loose" tolerances so to expect more oil in the can.
The dealership I work at sells BG products also. I talked to one of our master techs and he told me the 44K BG gas additive does essentially the same thing over the course of a tank of gas.

He explained to me that the 3 part induction service and the 44k gas additive were basically the same product only the 3 part service cleans everything immediately and the 44K works over a short time burning with your fuel.

I'm at work now so I think I'll pick up a 44K and give it a shot. He told me the Accord V6's pull oil pretty bad too. I know there is documented info supporting catch can use but I still don't feel the need to buy one at 10 miles like some people.

I'm looking to get one soon but I don't feel so strongly about them like a lot of people on the forum is all I'm getting at.
