I have looked at getting one as well. Proof is in the pic. The only question I have about them is that they say only put one on the passenger's side. Why? Is that because that hose dumps closest to the throttle body? With 11:1 compression, the oil is going to go somewhere. What weight oil are you using OP?
May be a stupid question, but I'm guessing you discard the collected oil, not recycle it back into the crank....right?
From what I've read you're not supposed to. The oil that comes up that line apparently has a bunch of impurities with it (water, etc.) and shouldn't be added back to the block.

Correct, safely discarded.

It's still on the original oil from the factory (1400 total miles now), should be 5w20.

The driver's side is the fresh air inlet into the crankcase ventilation system from after the air filter. The passenger side is from the engine back to the intake- that is the side that will be carrying the oil vapors. Ordered mine today.
