New '26 Durango Hellcat Jailbreak

[J-KAT]

Should I wait until 1st oil change to install an oil catch can ? Or does it matter ?

Doesn’t matter. If there’s any break-in material in the oil, it won’t be present in any oil vapors.

edit: You are likely to get more oil vapors before the rings are fully seated. So, putting one on sooner than later is a good idea if you’re concerned. Lots of folks don’t think they’re necessary at all.

But why chance excess oil crankcase vapors not being burned off ? And maybe fouling plugs or just forming on rings/pistons ? Nasty stuff , imo. For ~$300 or so(Billet Technologies), I'd rather have it.

My thought is catch cans might help and can’t hurt.

I have a Billet Tech on my HC, but UPR gets the most love around here and may be a better choice without spending significantly more.
