Pics of install? How many miles since you installed it/last checked?

I thought the same thing when I first had my RX catch-can, which is the reason I switched away. I don't like the valve on the bottom of the can. I THOUGHT I was opening it all of the way, but I wasn't. Keep on twisting, you might not have opened it enough.
It caught plenty, but I got tired of fighting with that valve and the tube coming from it, and switched over to a can that unscrews.

I switched over to an Apex Can back when they were still in business. If I was buying today, I would go Elite.

I had the same issue in the past with a Mighty Mouse Catch Can. Not sure why but it wouldn't catch any oil- could have been an install error on my part. But now I am rocking an Elite Catch Can and am catching a good bit every couple month when I check it.

My RX can will catch oil but not much. My Mike Norris can on my truck (daily driver) catches a few ounces every month.
