Default AOS installed

I installed the RR Racing AOS today.. took about 15 minutes. Based off what I read, it's a good thing to have. Hopefully it ends up being useful lol. I guess only time will tell...

This was only after about 250 miles or so. I'll say it works

lines are super tight with engine running. Took off and tried to blow air through one way valve and not free flowing. Anyone experienced this?

I've not experienced that. I would take off that zip tie so the lines are free and can have some slack.

I would also recommend moving that intake clamp. Enough miles that bolt will probably eat through that hose.

Holy grease monkey batman, that looks like a lot of oil only after 250 miles!

Is this the amount of oil that everyone is pulling out with an AOS? I can't imagine how much oil loss there is after a lot of spirited driving doing 5k oil change intervals.

Also, it doesn't look like you have to trim the engine cover?

Maybe it's a check-valve and not suppose to flow that way?

This is about 1000 miles later. Still not enough to notice it on the dipstick.



Is this considered alot? I don't drive hard. Just normal freeway on ramp get ahead of the traffic acceleration.

I don't have much experience with catch cans so I have no idea. To me it seems like a lot however I'm guessing there is also other junk, like fuel and water so it's maybe not all oil. I'm extremely tempted to put one in after researching the positives, the only negative being you having to empty it.

Did you have to trim your engine cover at all?

It does look like more than it actually is because the cannister is angled. It's not enough yet for the dipstick to read.

The AOS was 100% plug and play, no modification or cutting. The only thing i added was additional clamps, which rr racing says was not necessary. I just added for piece of mind.
