Again, based on my single Camaro data point, which isn't statistically representative but obviously very relevant to me , this is spot on. I did a proper break-in and while I do have a catch can, it collects very little oil, not because the can is crap but because the engine doesn't want to consume oil in the first place. While it's true that my bottom end has been upgraded over the years, the engine has continually been good and strong since day 1.
