The car we purchased had a Misimoto catch can installed from the previous owner and it had 15,000 on it at that point. We ran
Techron thru a full tank and saw some goopy carbon in the catch can. We had the oil changed the other day and I emptied the
catch can and it had a minimal amount of oil that had a strong smell of fuel in it which is to be expected. I have checked the catch can
several times during ownership and this seems to be the norm. At 19,000 miles I highly doubt we need to address carbon build up.
So, I think that one should pay attention to this obviously as it is a GDI and could cause issues going forward.
