Bms catch can

E90gone · 07-08-2014, 12:38 PM

I installed one 10k miles ago, just went to drain it and only had a few drops in it. Is that normal? I have also installed about 5k ago the RB pcv valve.

Just means the crankcase is venting properly and not blowing too much crap back into the rear inlet. You can thank Rob's valve for that.

My OCC has been on for like 10K at this point, I looked at it this weekend and it wasn't more than maybe 1/5th of an inch or so. Barely a pool at the bottom of the canister.

Not terribly uncommon, especially with cars in consistently warmer climates. I've noticed the most amount of oil in our catch can when I go for short drives before the car has a chance to fully warm up.

Thanks guys, that's what I wanted to hear and rob does make some sweet products can wait for my turbos to go bad.

It depends on your driving habits and there is a lot of in car variability. Some guys have tonnes of oil in the can, and some have none.
