Default Opinions please!


Just installed JLT catch can last week. It’s only been ~150 miles. Checked it this morning and pulled 10-15cc’s from it already. Should I be concerned? ‘13 3.5EB, 88k miles, meticulously maintained, runs excellent. 93 octane tune. CAI, 73mm TB, Mishimoto CAC. NOTE: It was undiluted oil. No sludge, fuel smell, Etc!

May NOT matter BUT!
Its been pushing 100 degrees here every day since the install and the humidity has been very high.
Its my first experience with a catch can and I’m not sure what’s normal.

From what I remember the more humid the more you'll catch. Don't be alarmed, this is why you installed the can.
My bet is that it will slow down and eventually you'll catch almost nothing. Mine doesn't see nearly as much as when I first installed it.

Thanks Scott! That’s what I was hoping to hear!

I agree, and would be happy knowing that crud isn't getting baked on the intake valves.
