Im sure most everyone here already has one but if you don't I would recommend getting one soon. You would be amazed if you seen the amount of oil that it traps from entering your intake. I empty mine about every 1500 miles and it is close to half full each time.

Man that sure looks like a lot... about 1200 miles in the last week so that's a good amount of driving.

OK, maybe it is a lot, just think, that's nasty oil that's NOT going back into the intake...

Its an excellent mod. One of the first I did on my SRT8, R/T and SRT4.

Gotta remember though when the can is doing it's job and catching oil it is taking oil out of your engine so you might want to keep an eye on the oil level and add as needed.

That is true. However the amount of oil you use is not that significant. You will probably lose less than 1/4 qt. in about 6000 miles. Never a bad idea to check your oil level though :)
