from what i know, it catches oil that would normally circulate back into the intake manifold</TD></TR></TABLE>
ok, with that being said, why is the oil going into the IM? Or where is the path that allows oil to go back into the IM? So oil is being catched into that can, after time, doesn't the oil get filled up? Or does the oil go back into the block?

ok i hope this helps.
pcv valve is a positive crankcase ventilation valve.
For emissions wise it is used to move vapors from un burned fuel and direct them into the intake manifold so that it can burn them off
Now on a naturaly aspirated car as well as a boosted car your car at idle pulls vaccum from the intake and sucks the "vapors" from the crankcase (head) via the pcv valve. During the vacuum pull oil mist gets sucked up as well and gets drawned into the intake manifold. after a period of time you will notice an oily residue or oil inside your intake which sometimes is caused by this.
Adding a catch can between the pcv and the intake manifold traps the oil in the can and not into the intake.
Hope this helps....

notice how its called a "catch" can. it collects the oil and you have to empty it out. It fills up alot quicker if you're boosted or have a all motor setup as oppose to stock motors.
