Oil Catch Cans
Oil Catch Cans
This is for all whom installed OCC's. I installed the BSH on Oct. 20, 2011 and just checked it today (11/11/11). I drained out a half cup of crap. 3/4 looked like coffee with cream and on the bottom was about a 1/4 of oil. Anyway, make sure you check it regularily. Don't know what would happen if the canister got full. Probably drain to the turbo inlet. That would not be a good thing.
If this is what I'm pulling out of the valve cover it's got to be a good thing.
Oh, has anyone figured out something to use to extract the crud from the catch can (via the dip stick). It'd sure be easier and cleaner than messin with that allen screw.

Can you use an oil extractor thingy or is the tubing to big? Maybe there is an attachment you can make and use smaller tubing with an oil extractor.
Definitely looking at an OCC at some point. My previous car was not direct injection so this was never an issue. Looking at other sites, the crud build up is so common on direct injection cars is a little scary.
