Default Oil catch can for NA motors

Anyone running one?
Yea I kno it's more suitable for those turbo guys.

I wanna run cleaner oil cuz every oil change (like 2,700miles) it looks like black coffee
Any non-benifits, somethin that can hurt me?

An oil catch can isn't going to help your oil look cleaner. What it does is catch the oil coming out of block and/or head and holds it til you drain it instead of having it dumped back into your throttle body/intake manifold where it will mix with your air and fuel.

Exactly.
Does that not help clean the oil, what you just described, what would be the purpose then.

Maybe read it more closely? It prevents oil from being burned, not from getting dirty.

And black oil |= bad oil.

Let's just put it this way: It's a good way to keep your throttle body and intake manifold from getting all gummed up. It's worth having.

Try running mobil drive clean. I just tore down a block a week or so ago that was running mobil drive clean. That was the cleanest motor I have ever saw!! New motors out of the factory aren't even this clean! For real.

There are a ton of ways in doing this what were your ways?
Some people used the pcv valve on the head and the one on the intake pipe.
Some people used the pcv valve between the 1st 2nd fuel injectors and the pcv valve on the intake manifold
Some people drilled into the head with 2 nipples and used those for input/output lines
Which would be the best way.
