Wassup Guys. I kno theres alot of threads out there that i read but i aint see too much abt the 4th gen tho. I want to buy a oil catch can but cant decide which one. I want the husky filter but alot of people said the plastic bowl messes up bc the use of synthetic oil. So im thinkin of the ebay metal can but many people say its not baffled so u gott fill it with steel wool. help me decide.

 

Why do you THINK you need a cach can?

I assume you're not turbo'd, do you have a VI?

Well, First off you Don't need one, but it doesnt matter what kind you get/make/install because I guarentee you'l catch no to ver little oil at all....

 

If your blowing by enough oil to need a catch can, then it's really not a catch can you need, but rather a new engine.

 

sounds good.

 

excuse my ignorance...but how does one know how much oil is being blown without first using a catch can to see?

 

check the intake for blow back residue. IIRC...

 

Take of your TB, if it is on the back of the throttle plate, you have a lot of oil...

personal experience

 

oh nah jus i heard that if u get a catch can it will keep your intake clean and engine clean so i said ok wut the hell i will jus try it. But now that u say that i wont

 

Go for it, it wont hurt anything. Not like its $50.

 

+1

 

thanks guys

 

I deserved that one...

 

just stumbled upon this thread and thought I'd post an update.

maybe I'm the only one who didn't know/realize this until recently, but all those crankcase fumes can effectively lower the octane rating of your fuel. not a huge deal unless you're aggressively tuned, though.

 

^ ok thankyou, that's actually useful info
