If I was to think about it again, I would not bother to put one on the car, I have had one for some time and I have used it on two cars. I took it of the first car one day when changing the oil and thought that for the amount of oil it captured it was not worth the effort.
I put it back on my SRT and it captures some oil but if I considered this oil going through and getting burnt up it would me a minuscule amount per rev. I looked at the plenums before it went on and they were a clean as can be. Maybe with an older engine with more wear it would be better to use one, but when Valk shows the amount he captures between oil changes I somehow doubt it.
