SifuSteve Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 As above, I emptied the contents of my catch can after about 1200 miles. I got about 20-25mls of that delicious oil/petrol sludge mix. Given the engine has done 130K miles, is this unusual? I've seen a few 'uncanning' videos on YouTube but they're all for shiny new GTRs and the like. They seem to get about half as much, tops. On a side note, I wasn't expected it to make the engine sound so much better. It has its notable growl back that it lost after 8 months of neglect.

I'm definitely burning less oil with new covers (Which include a new pcv valve) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impressed Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Is that defo 25ml. that's only 5 teaspoons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SifuSteve Posted October 21, 2020 Author Share Posted October 21, 2020 It's as best as I can measure - I kept the contents, for posterity, in a 250ml vape juice bottle and it's only about 10-15% full. It's really not much, but it's at least double the amount I've seen elsewhere for 1000 miles. @MDMetal I've been wanting to give my engine some TLC and wasn't sure where to start. Your comment led me on a quest of understanding that makes me think that such an undertaking is either woefully overdue or, if it turns out 25ml is surprisingly low, has already been undertaken by a previous owner. It may be that a new roof and spoiler have to compete for second place against a rocker replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomhess1010 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 I have the same catch can and rev up, roughly about that same for me too after about 1500/2000 miles. Seems to fill up quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prodrive11 Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 How big cans you've (above isn't to much oil really - ie. RBs like to spit ALOT) ? I assume ppl go bigger on track... or does those engines not throw up that much even under load ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
