Oil catch can worth it?

[U.S.C]

I have bought them for last cars and just wondering if it’s worth it with the 1.5t? I notice a lot run them but it’s it something that is actually needed ?

I appreciate that @MAPerformance did the research, and continue to reply to their thread (https://www.civicx.com/forum/thread...-system-catch-can-testing-observations.31076/). Obviously, they can make a catch can and take our money. Kind of makes me think they really did the research and know what they are talking about. Also, Honda doesn't feel we need a catch can, either. So, have one if you want one. It will catch something, for sure. It's just not needed.

I use CRC turbo and intake valve cleaner every 10k miles, I use fuel system cleaner gas tank additive before every oil change, and i have a Mishimoto oil catch can that I started using at 28k miles.

Does anybody know how to use an oscilloscope to look at the back of the valves on this engine? What needs to be removed?

You'll need to remove the intake manifold to access the valves. I wouldn't recommend it this early. Plan on doing so after 100k miles, especially since you run the intake cleaner every 10k...

I installed one for the peach of mind. 10th Gen civic seems like doing well so far though. I havent heard any oil dilution.
