Hey guys!
So I am about to do a ton of maintenance on my 97 super charged 80 and it's sent me down a wormhole.
I have read as many of the threads as I can find on here about oil separators dating back to early 2010s. I ready the back and fourth debates as to whether or not the catch can was necessary or not. I have sided with team catch can on this one so please don't yell at me. It seems like a nice way to filter out some unnecessary oil vapor/build up in my fresh intake.
So, my real question is: What is everyones favorite brand/model regardless of price? Many of the ones referenced in other threads are no longer around and the websites to the links are down. I noticed many folks using cheap pneumatic options with plastic/glass bowls. I tend to lean towards spending a bit more on something that looks a little better in the engine bay. Ultimately would like the best quality and looks, somethin that filters well and keeps the air flowing and not putting a strain on the system. Also something big enough that oil won't get drawn through when on steep incline. I know this has been discussed but its been quite a while so I thought I would bring it up for 2024!
Any tips/links would be greatly appreciated! It is hard to search for recommendations because almost everything on the market is for the turbodiesel motors...can we use the same catch cans?
Thanks!
