I run one on my Mustang (supercharged) and one on my Sorento (turbocharged).
I catch quite a bit of oil in each one. I think it's better to have the oil vapors condense in the can rather than bake onto the intake valves.

fraleywp,

Have you considered an air/oil separator (AKA Catch Can)? I have a 2014 Titanium 1.6 13,000 miles. No problems yet (other than battery replacement). I intend to keep this car forever... I'm 73 years old, so "forever" is probably 10-12 years. Have read lots of discussions of OCC, but can't decide if they're really worthwhile.
