This oil gets trapped in the throttle body at cool down,this will help in the long run.Now go and post your BS some where else.

OK, here's a basic explanation... Look at pictures of an engine, it's mostly hollow inside, and oil splashes around where it's not supposed to... So in order to keep things clean, there is some air that is sucked through the engine that picks up some of this oil, and circulates it back into the intake, so that it is burned by the normal engine combustion. This is a pretty efficient system, but it has the disadvantage of building up oil inside your air intake manifold, and also, burning oil is not very clean. So an oil catch can catches this oil before it gets back into the engine, so that you can dispose of it properly later on.

more explanation, if you ever worked in a kitchen, there is an exhaust fan with "hood vents" above the grill and fryer's. They suck up the smoke and greasy air, and the vents catch the grease before it gets to the exhaust fan. So our engine is the grill and fryer's making smoke and greasy hot air, this diy filter is the "vents" that catch the oil or greasy hot air, and our intake is the exaust fan that we are keeping clean and not greasy dirty.
So i wonder if this means pretty much any fuel filter will work for this? that black topped one looks just like the diy ones.... Last edited by Fenrizwolf; 05-10-2009 at 03:17 PM. |

if the filter tubing is smaller than stock would than restrict air coming out of the engine..
also what will happen if you forget to clean the filter and it gets filled would that block the air to comeout of the engine..and would that damage the engine for not getting that excess air out.?? Last edited by marcus; 05-11-2009 at 05:57 PM. |

no, you CANNOT have a breather on there. it will cause a vacuum leak and the car will run rough. i had this issue when i tried to do it.
