Catch Cans Work
For those of you that still claim catch cans are useless, this is what my Mighty Mouse Wild catch can had in it after a 3K mile oil change. This is a 12oz bottle, not a typical 20oz but there's probably 1-2oz of oil in here. I don't know about you but I'd prefer not to have this circulating in my intake and through the intercooler bricks.

its weird...I have the MM mild and I opened the bleed valve under the car and absolutely nothing came out... mind you this is after being in storage for 6 months but the oil life was at 35% so I was expecting there to be some collection.....

Not sure if it helped but I loosened the drain window also so that some air could get in, it started flowing quicker that way.

People say they don't work? Must be those who drive their vehicle less than 3000 miles a year.
Car manufacturers are the ones I know that say catch cans are bad and cause more harm than good. But I guess they consider this going where it shouldn't go a better option.... |

Manufacturers says the catch causes the engine to be oil starved.....OK. Just their way of getting around replacing an engine even though a vehicle had known oil pump issues, etc. |
