Oil in my catch can in just 200 miles, is oil not going on my valves. I could care less about your car. You can treat your car like a rental. Don't expect every one to neglect the problem. Same goes with PPF, Ceramic coating, and other protective measures. Everyone has different ideas about there car. Nothing to get upset about. I'm just appreciative that , I was able to get a C8.

Catch cans have the vapor mix with moisture in the air and often make the volume look more than it really is. Yes... well versed in catch cans on my C5s and my C5 racecar. They're not needed anymore.
