Do the 04s need one?

 

Yes, I have one on my 2004 and it definitely needs it.

Here is an alternative, I've seen several of these firsthand on honda motors, both FI and NA and they take out quite a bit of nasty stuff. Just an alternative, I havnt used the AMW so I will refrain from commenting on which is better, but I know the items that this company sells are all high quality pieces as well.

Low2000 I like the idea of the drain back on your can, but what about the guys who are catching water? That wouldn't be good in your oil.

 

You definitely do not want to drain the oil from the catch can back into your oil pan. It was never meant to go back in there. If the catch can were not there, the oil would be either trapped in the intake or burnt in the combustion chamber.

Yeah, at first I didn't think my 04 needed it... It was dry for a few days after I first installed it. Suddenly I easily had a tablespoon in there. I drain it every two weeks or so. I'm quite sure it could go 4-6 weeks between drains.

 

I'm draining my can every 3000 miles. I see around 10ml of oil per 1000 miles driven.
