catch can?

it has nothing to do with the tune, how much oil it collects is based on how much oil your PCV system spits out ;)

1/2 oz is nothing. I used to be able to fill the whole can in a little over 1,000 miles. Best explanation I've heard: The more you get on it, the less vacuum, so when you lift, theres a vacuum surge that pulls oil into the can.

I have a conceptual polymer HE catch can on my 2013 Silverado with a 5.3L. I filled a 16 oz water bottle with what I drained out of the catch can in around 11,000 miles. Can only imagine that junk going into the intake! I put this unit on at about 1190 miles on my Silverado. Glad I did it early on.

You don't need to imagine. Its something like this. This was my Jeep SRT8 when I got it with 6k miles.
