    Caught just under 2oz in just under 5k miles, mostly at Highway Speeds :)

    I'll bet you're glad that you kept that nasty brew out of your engine's intake.

    Well worth the piece of mind.

    What, no comment about the Oil Can Spout?
    Guessing many on this forum have never used one :emotions33:

    I used the oil can spout, years ago, on these, before plastic oil containers.

    I have one in my garage too.... so now I’m asking myself, “why?” Maybe put it in my trophy case next to the 8-track tapes and 45’s. ??????

    I am trading my 1957 Oldsmobile 98 in on a 2010 Challenger RT next week. The one thing I wont miss is the oil soaked cardboard under the old girl in the garage and the smoke puffing out when she is hot. When ever I went to a friends house I’d park on the street not to soil their driveway.
    Also those old oil can pour spouts bring back memories of my youth. When the cans were heavier they worked well, but if you had an old dull spout and the softer can would make a mess when the can collapsed ....
    I don’t believe the car I am buying has a catch can on it. Anyone have a recommendation for a good set up? I see there are lots out there.

    I have the Billet Technology catch can ($95). It is a good design and is very attractive (see photo and link). I also have the Z-mount bracket ($25) for easier access.

    SRT-Tom-
    Thanks;
    I do like the look of that along with your fuse panel cover!
    Are your spring tower covers stock or an add on?
