I have some more info on my site as well.

The separator helped for me, but didn't eliminate the oil.

What finally worked was adding a second pcv on the drivers side valve cover.


good luck,
jason

Mine works awesome, but has no effect on overall oil consumption. It just keeps the oil that's sucked through the pcv system out of your intake. Mine works best without the little stone filter and cyclone inside the catch bowl though. It has helped my car to run better, and stop pinging on warm days...but slowly over a period ofl months.

+1. That's all I did. Home Depot has them and they are cheap. Just bought the Husky brand and bought two adapters to screw into either end (eliminates the 90 degree turn)
