Default OIL Catch Can

Can someone post puictures of how much oil you are getiing from your catch can also.

I plan to install one but I'm not sure what one I want yet. The one I like the best is Ultimate oil catch can, but it is 235.00 It has the best desighn I've seen sofar. I know most are using the BT catch can, so I want to see how well it actually works.

check out the link to this so you can see the one I'm talking about. It looks great but pretty expensive. http://www.42draftdesigns.com/catego...catchcans.html


Opinions please?

Save your money and buy the BT Catch-can. I have one on both the Charger and Ram, and know of probably thousands of LX owners that have the BT model as well. No pics, but they work fantastic.

I bought mine from diablosport but it's basically a BT catch can. I haven't installed mine yet as i haven't had the chance and not really looked into it.

I wonder if someone can post pictures of it installed and which hoses they run to.

The BT doesn't have a filter I have seen others that have a filter....what is the difference. I know the BT is made to fit the HEMI with the Z bracket one bonus. How does it catch it with no filter?

are these really all that great? i have never heard of them before a year ago when i was looking for a diablo programmer and came across one. how much oil do you really catch? ive had a honda run into the 200,000 + kms range and it never had one and ran just fine. the only thing that i ever replaced on that car was the battery and regular routine maintenance. does the hemi displace more oil than most engines?

IMO your wasting your time and money. I have an 09 with 37xxx miles on it and I change my own oil and I just refill the bottles after an oil change so I can recycle it. 7 quarts in, 7 quarts out every time.
