I installed a Moroso oil separator/catch can the night before I was heading on a several day vacation. It shows the Monroe so because I liked the draining process more so than trying to reach in and unscrew the bottom of the can. I’m having rotator cuff surgery next week and felt it would be easier to drain the can. Drove down to the beach which was approximately 280 miles and then put another 300 or so driving around the area. Checked it on the last day before we came back and I was shocked at how much oil was separated. I drained it into a clear water bottle. Rough guess would be the equivalent of a little more than a quarter of a Dixie cup full.... If anyone remembers what those are. I know this is a hot topic for debate however I feel more comfortable that I’m not getting that additional oil dumped into my throttle body. One thing other thing of note, right after I installed the catch can, I went ahead and cleaned out the throttlebody with seafoam spray. Ran that per the instructions and had a fair amount of smoke for a few minutes. Mine is a 2016 with roughly 25,000 miles on it. Hopefully that should help to keep it clean.
