Have always found oil in the Smiths PCV valve whenever I've opened it. While it's never looked like I'm burning oil, the thought that it must be finding its way into combustion has bothered me. Have also read on different forums that there are many engines found in today's vehicles that also draw unwanted oil into the intake (particularly those engines with forced induction). Quite a few owners install oil catch cans - everything from the home made variety to some costing a couple hundred $'s.

Was drawn to it because of its small size and that it was baffled. The reviews were positive so I offered $75 and it was accepted.
Installed using an old Ford alternator bracket, a distance piece, and a bolt that I fastened to the 4A's generator bracket. I cut apart and used the strands of a stainless steel pot scrubber in the baffle compartment.
It works. The valve no longer gets oil in it. The catch can does.
I'll be changing the hoses that came with the can to black ones. Other than that, I'm pleased.
It even has a dip stick
