Oil Catch Can

Mine just came in, going to install it tonight.

Easy install, took longer to get the ladder out and put away than it did to put this in.

Nice. I’m currently at 320 ish miles since install. Will be checking the can in another 100 or so and see what’s inside.

Alright I couldn’t wait any longer so I checked the can just now and all that gunk at 300+ miles.

600 mile check in after installation.

I forgot to mention, I checked my oil level which I'm good but man was it dirty (black). I'm only at 3524 and did not expect oil to be dark at this point. Basically looks like what came out the can.

Had my JLT catch can on for 15k miles. So far around 6-8 ounces of oil recovered. Definitely doing it's job.

My oil was similar at the last change and I was surprised. Not as dark as what was in the can but dark. It was at almost 6k after a 2800 mile road trip. I've got about 100 miles since current change, i'll check at 600mi or so

I just did my first drain and measure for the oil caught by my JLT oil catch can. I drove 1655 miles and caught 1.5 fl oz of oil, or 0.9 fl oz of oil per 1000 miles driven. The color of the oil was dark, but it contained no sludge or visible particles.

Why? What does it do? What breaks if you don’t have one?
