Emptied Oil Catch Can.

[rexhunta]

This is after 1 month of using it, and taking it to the track last sunday for some drifting and sprints..

It's dropped this much, but it's all really just water.. so i guess it's working? it looks like real watered down oil to me.. hopefully it's doing it's job !

That's not bad at all. I was getting that whole bottle full in a couple of weeks when my rings were going out.

do a leak down test if you are unsure

Don't forget, a byproduct of combustion is WATER. The stuff that will BLOW BY the rings is a huge mix, one part is water.. The steam/vapor in the PCV system will condense in the catch can.

No worries at all.. Make sure to use some brake cleaner or throttle body cleaner on the catch can (get all the gunk out..), same with the lines..

Verify the engine OIL is not the same color (should be black...).

Cheers

Yeah thats right. my engine oil is black, and the other stuff was a poo brown colour. so it's cool, thanks.

you say blowby which technically refers to the combustion gasses that "blow by" the piston rings which then creates positive crank casepressure combined with the atomization of oil (oil spray) from the fast moving internals is what suspends oil and carries it into the catch can or intake right? so then the oil will end up inside the combustion chamber to be burned with the fuel air. this should affect the air fuel ratio since the air is saturated with oil reducing its oxygen percentage per volume the mix would be technically richer but still less efficient then clean pure air causing lower temperature/efficient combustion --> oil catch=good i guess dont know im still a newbie

wait a minute...isnt that an "oil catch mountain dew bottle" ?

No, i have a proper catch can, i just emptied it's contents into that bottle so i could put it back in.

still it shouldn't be getting that much blowby. How do you have your lines routed?
