Default Drained AMW Catch Can...

I drained my AMW catch can on Friday and I measured the amount of oil in my graduated cylinder and I got 20 ml from 2000 miles of driving. Not a ton, but better in the can than in the intake. The oil looked pretty pure (meaning it wasn't mixed with gas or thinned out).

You would be surprised how much makes it past the catch can. I have 2 in a row and in the first one theres about a tea spoon. In the second there is almost as much.

Half is better than none!! I guess I need one pretty bad now. My intake seems to be getting pretty gumed up judging from the throttle body.

My thoughts exactly, I want to separate as mich oil as I can without going crazy. One can is enough for now.

The outlet hose on my catch can is still bone dry inside and there is no hint of oil making it out of there. It catches quite a bit of oil though.
