Catch Cans - Do They Really Do Anything Beneficial?

It staying a N/A daily driver, wouldn’t using Berryman or similar products every oil change/every other oil change keep everything clean?

That's not going to keep oil out of your intake

In a carbonated carbureted or IDI engine yes. In a DI engine no. The fuel in a DI engine is sprayed directly into the combustion chamber and does not follow the path of the air (that includes the "oily or dirty air"). This is why the oil separator is key.

There are other delivery methods for these products. I’m not saying don’t get one. But routine maintenance has always worked for me. I’ve never had a catch can.

There is never anything in the oil catch can on my boosted 2018. I wouldn't buy another one.

Do catch cans actually help out cars?

Done incorrectly, they can actually increase oil consumption. I know this from the incorrect oil separator being installed by a shop on my Audi.

But is there a real benefit, not theoretical, but a tested and measured benefit against a control?

Yes, because I bought and just installed the the FP version.

BTW, looks OEM

This is what I caught with mine. NA engine. Its on pace of what a healthy engine should produce and for the UPR system to catch.

I have the J&L on my 23 F150 with the 3.5 Powerboost and during the winter it captures a fair amount of gunk

Basically picking up all the condensation from the colder temps. So it's just water in the air, not really more oil etc

There was lots of gunk to. I don’t regret the purchase
