when i first too off the hose from the PCV valve to the intake there was a little oil in in. after having 100 miles on the car since the catch can wa on there i was amazed at the amount of oil in it. sure it was only a few drops but that was after 100 miles. how much oil was that motor sucked down in the past 48k miles?

guys and girls thanks for the input on the catch cans. if it wasn't for CAMM i would have never known.

Cool deal!!!

I have yet to open mine since I put it on. Maybe Friday just to see what's in there.

What amazes people about them besides the fact that there's oil in it? Bona fide performance gains, mileage gains, other quantifiable gains from this?

i would like to know how much crap has been sucked back into the motor

Basically its a filter that goes between your PCV valves. It will catch
the oil "blow-by" before it hits your intake. Easy to install, and it is
easy to empty. Like every oil change (3000mi)

Over time, oil and other unburned contaminates will condense and
built up behind the throttle body plate and intake. So it is a long term
investment and reliability mod.... Helps things stay cleaner.

So to quickly answer your three questions:

(1) No, its not a performance mod.
(2) No, its not a fuel system enhancement mod.
(3) No, it does not replace anything on the PVC system but enhances
overall operation over time (filter out and condense oil, etc.)
I found this for you

ok, thanks.

Actually some people have reported less knock retard after installing a catch can.
Reason being that the oil makes its way to the combustion chamber essentially contaminating the air/fuel mixture.
Less Knock Retard means less timing is pulled, which means better performance.

Thanks for your answers, Jesse!

where do u get a catch can?

Left the good info on catch cans and moved the lady offending stuff.

As you were.

Mine is on the Way!

Got in on the Big BT sale!

The only downside to a catch can is that you HAVE to remember to empty it regularly. If you forget, then at some point you will step on the gas, and she'll get a lungfull of oil. This is a very bad thing. Much worse than a little mist at a time.

i just empty each oil change or when i want to show people how much it keeps off my engine.

I am still trying to figure out how much oil it will collect between oil changes. after installing it i had an oil change 500 miles later and there was probably 30cc of oil. I should be able to go 3000 miles before emptying it maybe 5000 miles now that i'm using synthetic. I will have to keep an eye on it to get to know how far i can go.

You can go at least 3000 miles before emptying it. If you forget to empty your catch can and your car gets a lungful, then you are fucking stupid, and you dont deserve to own a mopar! Sorry to be blunt but its the truth!
