    I received and installed my braded lines today from BMC for my oil catch can. I checked the oil catch can reservoir before I swapped out the lines and I was surprised that it was a quarter the way full. I was surprised because when I brought my ride home from Techco at the end of December, I had checked the reservoir and it was three quarters of the way full, so I emptied it. So with only about a hundred and fifty miles it has filled up a quarter of the way. Has anyone else checked their catch can after installing the Techco blower? I never remember it filling up that quickly before, maybe it’s just my imagination.

    I guess, I need to shorten my oil catch can check interval to make up for the increased pressure. It makes sense Ron, Thanks!

    I was still of the mind set, every oil change or 3000 miles, I will change to the same thing, every 250 miles.
