Separates oil particles from PCV/CCV air using 50 micron bronze filter
100% billet 6061 aluminum sealed can
Defends intercooler, intake system, and essential components from oil blow-by
Helps maintain proper octane levels to reduce potential detonation
I was looking at it as sort of an air cleaner before it's returned to the motor
Thanks, Joe

Thats an interesting addition to the PCV system but I see no gain in using it in our vintage engine applications. Heck even the high end performance stuff i have on occasion to be involved with have never used anything like that. However from what you wrote theres no ill effects from using it so if you want to add it to the system go for it just remember it needs to be emptied from time to time if any oil /water ends up in the container.
