Default Installed a catch can?

Here is a hint: YOU HAVE TO EMPTY IT ONCE IN AWHILE!!!!

I was under the hood and thought ,"I should empty that".

You should have seen the milkshake I poured out of it and the congealed crud at the bottom.

I also think the engine sucked some crap as I had a CE come on (lean).

My bad.

I have drained it before and it didn't look that bad, still did have water mixed in.

The drain petcock would not have passed the gunk this time.

I am just going to have to drain it more often.

I may tie a date tag to it.

The one on my Camaro was predictable. Every 2500 miles it was time to dump. I have a feeling the v uses a bit more.

How long had it been? I would imagine the SC has some affect on that as well.
