Default ATTENTION: ALL C5 OWNERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think you should do this ASAP!

Its the PCV oil mod....

Ok.. the verdecit is in.... I don't drive my car on a daily basis, but just got back from the track where I did 12 runs.... Take a look....

I think I'd rather have the moisture or oil vapor laden air going thu this filter instead of into my intake... The mod stays...

Probably a good idea for EVERYONE to use it! If you race your car, you will probably see the oil earlier. If you baby it, I'm sure you will still get oil in the jar, might just take longer... Here's oil that COULD have been flowing into my intake after 12 runs today...


I'm telling you, unless you want your intake,& internals, coated with this stuff, where it can build up & sludge up, and you might have to do a ring replacement or decarbonization procedeure, you better do it...
Even the MOST PASSIVE C5 driver should....

Advice rant over. Good luck...

Oh, I've been using a filter on the PCV hose on my 82 for a long time, I too used a translucent cased one so I could see if it was dirty, worked fine for me.
