The catch can is about the same cost but lasts forever (kind of I suppose).

I agree that anything that keeps oil out of intake is a good thing!
I don't see any reason why you couldn't remove it and soak it in gasoline or maybe even some K&N filter cleaner.

Cheap and easy, I dont drive mine much anymore so I have not bothered to see how much oil it's collecting. Let us know since I'm sure you use yours more.

It's hard to believe how much money you save on gas when you go to something fuel efficient from these trucks.
