catch can update

I was detailing my '14 5.0 and decide to drain my catch can after 2000 miles. I wasnt expecting much oil if any but was really surprised on the outcome. This is a dixie cup and I would say its about 1/4 to 1/3 full. The catch can is a bobs oil seperator on the passanger side only. Here are some pictures to show how much was caught.

Hmm idk about the v6. I was surprised to but I guess its better in the catch can then the engine. I didnt even really get on it much until I had about 1500 miles on it.

Glad to see people going with Bob's.

JLT - Catches some of the oil.

Bob's - Catches ALL of the oil.

the more easy driving you do the more oil it will collect due to the system being in vacuum more than if you were spirited driving!

Necessary? Who knows. Does it catch oil that would otherwise be in the engine. Yes, as it should. would the engine suffer and lose longivity? only time will tell. But it is doing it's job exceptionally well, I couldn't ask for more.

I think more people have the JLT simply because American muscle carries it and the AM site sees a lot more traffic than bob's website. Besides that, both are the same price.

Yeah, I concur. My JLT doesn't show any signs of oil getting through to the other side and I've had it for about 30k miles.
