might be my work blocking the pic. Ill check it out later at home.
either way Ill prolly go with this catch can. I had one on mine before, but it was for a Camaro which has 3/8" pcv lines not 5/8. So i had reducers on the lines. I dont think it worked well.

Alright i just remembed to look at this thread. Looks like you caught quite a bit of oil in that 1500 miles. Thats good.
I just ordered the UPR catch can. Should have it in a few days.

AF - thanks for the tip that Jeg's sells an air/oil separator. I like the clear glass in the interest of visually monitoring how much oil has accumulated.
Jeg's separator + 5' of 3/8" fuel line + 2 x 90 degree 1/4" NPT to 3/8" hose barb fittings (it comes with straight fittings) came to 65 bucks shipped. Not too shabby. I hope that everything arrives by Friday so that I can install this weekend.

I checked the can today after about 250 miles of in-town(alot of stop lights)and it was about 1/4 full.If every 5.0 does this then I could see why some people mention excessive oil usage.

'11 FX4 SCREW 5.ohh!
I know it's not much, but do you guys that are catching your oil, are you putting it back into the engine? I know it would be the same loss as if it continued from the valve cover to the intake, and subsequently burned up in the combustion chamber.
I don't really see any negative effects, unless you get dirt in the collection can.
Or are you dumping it? (in an epa approved way LOL)
