Oil Catch Can Questions - How much should be drained?
How much oil should you be getting in your catch can? Is it a 1/8th of a quart a week or is it a quart? I see there are lots of different types of results. Some people have large catch cans that they dont drain often (years??) and then some people that drain them on a regular basis...
I would have never expected that any would need to be drained. I would think you would get in your car and drive it for years and wouldnt encounter an issue. My other car, my other truck and my camper dont have catch cans that need to be drained. Dont get me wrong, they dont provide me nearly the amount of fun my Porsche type car brings me but it is an interesting question to say the least.
I am at the point where I route my vented oil tank fumes back into the air cleaner or buy a catch can. I dont like the mess that oil creates in my air cleaner so I have been working (like a fool) to fix the issue. I didnt realize there isnt a fix, its just expected to have an oil catch can that needs to be empted on a regular basis.
