this catch can has nothing to do with the cooling system and even though several have asked , " what the hell is it for " whats the reason for this particular catch can ........

You are thinking of an overflow can if you are talking about radiator coolant. The factory one has served me just fine. now if you want to cool down you intake air temps then you can add an after market heat exchanger or chiller systems.

I emptied mine again this weekend and it had about 2oz of oil in it so definitely worth having. That is 2oz of oil that is not in the intake system now. My car has 6K on it and I have emptied it one other time with about the same amount.
