Hi guys,
Can anyone give me an idea of how much oil they remove from their catch can every 5000-10000kms please?
I've just done an inlet manifold remove and clean on my 200,000km NW. I'd first tried using Liqui Moly Diesel Intake Cleaner, which might be another interesting post, but bottom line was that it was ineffective on a heavily soiled intake. So it's spick and span now but I'm wondering about whether to fit a catch can. I'm currently intending to sell the car at the end of this year as we're currently on a road trip and we only bought it for that. We've probably got another 30,000km to go. It was a pain getting the manifold clean so I don't want it to get clogged again, but nor do I want to drop $200-300 on a catch can on a car I'm going to sell, if it's not going to make a big difference over that time. Now it's clean I can probably maintain it with some of the Liqui Moly stuff once in a while.
So I'm just after some idea of how much oil is likely to pass through the engine in say 5000-10000kms, so I can work out whether I should shell out for a catch can on a car I'm not likely to keep, or save my money and just run a can of manifold cleaner through it every 10,000.
Thanks,
Greg
