oil I just installed this home depot can about 3 weeks ago theres ten drops of oil at around 300 miles.
I'm keeping a close eye on this thing I've read here that after a couple of weeks the amount of oil caught won't change meaning it's getting sucked into the intake.
I think empying will be at minium once every 3K miles so I'm planning on making a bigger can W/breather.
Right now I'm wondering w/ clean oil in motor will the caught oil vapors also be clean or be that funkie black crape, current oil has 3K + miles?

I was told to set it up this way and mine fills about twice as fast versus the normal way when tested on my car. I believe it allows the oil to condense on the filter stone and then drip down into the can.
