Default oil catch can

Im thinking about this oil catch can. I like jlts but this one looks a little more promising will this work?

If not i guess ill just buy jlts. If anyone has any ebay oil catch cans that work let me know.
This is for my 07 n/a v6 dont say i dont need it ive seen the oil deposits.

Also : ive noticed some mustang engines have a tiny k&n filter on the side of their engines. what is that?

To be honest I have no idea of the quality of the eBay catch cans but just remember you get what you pay for. I would rather buy something that I know works. As far the small filter on the side of their engines I would imagine you are referring to a breather on the valve cover. Some people remove the PCV hose all together and put a filter there so it can breathe, I have heard negatives of doing this though.

yeah i understand that but its not too far below jlt catch can. So what your saying is instead of using a catch can thats what the breather is? Id like to see what the difference is between the ebay catch can and jlt.

Default catch can

Go with a UPR catch can. Works much better than the JLT. I've had both.

I've used the cheapy small filters at home depot or lowes.

Regardless, DO SOMETHING! You really need something between the passenger valve cover and intake manifold to keep oil out; a lot gets through there!
