the catch can is to help with oil consumption due to faulty pcv systems. are you consuming oil or sucking it into your intake manifold/tb?

It won't do anything for oil consumption, it will simply catch the oil pulled with the crankcase gases and prevent them from ending up in your intake and heads. Theoretically, this will reduce the chance of detonation as the oil will reduce the octane rating of the fuel.
