Is this what I use to catch the oil from the PCV?

It does say Oil Catch can but I'm not sure if I can use it there or if it goes somewhere else. Anyone know?

Sure, I'll be the guinea pig. Want to pitch in?

My only question is how would I get the oil out. It doesn't seem to have a drain. Unless the side tube is for that.

my first thoughts exactly at first but i would think you would remove the two lines at the top of the catch can and turn upside down to drain. it seems like its easy to install and easy to remove the unit to drain. if unsure ask the seller.looks like a good deal to me.

do they go inline kinda like an inline filter (but not a filter just an oil catcher) and why would you need one

Yep, it just goes in-series. Guys have used a filter (like a clear fuel filter) but it can require periodic cleaning (even the element in my separator kept clogging, so I ditched the element).

It helps keep blow-by out of the intake, which keeps things cleaner and arguably helps ward off related-detonation. I think a lot of us do it just to do it.

You would splice the tube between the pcv and plenum. Then connect both ends into the catch can and you're done. I'm currently running a small filter but it sux cause it gets dirty quick and doesn't let it breathe right.
