I used it. Except i used a fram G-1 or G-2 whichever was smaller. Make sure you change it often or at least clean it often. With limited driving mine got pretty clogged. Be sure to install it with the flow going away from the valve cover.

I got an oil catch can but I just installed it a few days ago so I'm not sure how good it works.

Cool, Im too lazy to created another topic, so I just ask here any way.

3 week ago I did change my oil, and it been alway a full mark, last night I change it lost a little very little oil. Like 2 table spoon oil, is that normal ? do you guy ever add oil between oil change ? and BTW my oul seem very clear, it been that long it support to be little black or browness, but it still clear. I dont understand.

Oil is supposed to be black when you change it. And about losing oil, I dont know if this is normal, but I drove my car for 6,000 miles between my last oil change. And in those 6,000 miles I had to add about 2 quarts of oil to keep it at a decent level. Full synthetic is what I use BTW.

your car not leak oil do you ?

I was gonna do that but instead i went to that evil place called auto zone and bought a matching valve cover filter with my air filter so it looks cool. I was getting an aftermarket intake so I had to remove the stock intake tube and i did not know about this filter trick. So if I vent or collect the oil on my breather filter is it bad? Also what if my filter is like really oily?

You can vent it if you like, slight miscalculations in a/f should be expected though, not enough to be noticable really. Way too much oil in there should denote a problem with crankcase ventilation. (It's usually a bad PCV valve)

I don't think it does, I've never seen any oil on the driveway or on the engine block or anything.

If you're wondering why I am using rather dynamic words, it is because I just finished typing a decent paper and I have not yet been reduced to my normal internet grammer.

Put a big sheet of cardboard under your car at night. If you're missing oil it's either leaking or burning.

more then likely ur burning some oil eclipses are bad about that
