That makes sense , when I go home to the Great state of southern ARKANSAS from Bristol (NE ) Tennessee approximately 750 miles one way , I do dump more than my normal daily driving.
Some say interstate driving produces less oil in the catch can .....I disagree at least for me .

Emptied today with a little over 1000 miles (mostly all freeway driven) between dumps.

Is that a lot? What would be a normal amount? I typically get that amount, but the intervals vary between 1000 and 2000 miles. SoCal driving, stop and go freeway traffic, with a couple of 500 mile trips a month....should I be worried?

You shouldn't be worried , in fact just the opposite Sir , you should just be happy you have an oil catch can installed !

All that nasty oil , unburnt fuel , condensation and carbon deposits not going in your intake plenum is what an occ is all about

When I do a lot of highway driving I get much more than normal in my OCC , about the same amount as yours there .

This is mine after a 1750 mile round trip in 5 days of driving last summer , mostly highway but mixed with some all around and stop n go driving as well.

The amount of oil captured by the oil catch Can is largely due to driving style and a good clean and properly working Positive Crankcase Vent (PCV)

IMO , this just means your PCV is working properly.

Some good reading on the operation of the PCV can be found here :

Hope this helps !

That helps a ton. I know the principals behind a CC, but the amount of collected oil vapor varies dramatically over the same duration. Driving conditions (traffic) and climate (winter vs summer) seem to play a pretty big role in the amount.

Thanks for all the great information!!

Just joined the OCCC....oil catch can club?

About to hit 120k on the odometer, better late than never I guess. I've read enough on the subject and the benefits are clear. Looking forward to seeing what I collect in there.

Added the BT catch can to my 2010 1500 hemi at 68500 miles. Here's a picture of what was caught after 700 miles. Oil in engine is fairly new and I had just been driving the truck. Hopefully that's why it's a tan color.3d895633c3bbe3349f718d985c8da515.jpg

Just ordered one from Moes Performance. I only have 1100 kms on my truck so far. I plan on keeping this truck for an extended period of time. Hope this helps as advertised. Cheers

Good deal Sir , better late than never imo.

The tan color is due to condensation aka water in the oil ....this is normal , may be a bit elevated in cooler temps as the engines crankcase typically condenses more moisture with a cooler outside air temp (oat) with each time it's ran to temps above the OAT and then shuts down and cools .
Your oil.is fine Sir .

I see the hose fittings you have are different then mine. I just pushed mine onto the fittings. Your hoses seem to have metal ends on them?

Braided hoses and ends upgrade. The ends go on the hose before pushing them on the barbed fittings. For looks mainly.
