For any car enthusiast, this article is for you. It's known that the harder a car is driven, the more blow-by gases there are. These gases mixed with oil particles from the crankcase end up in your intake via the PCV system and contaminate the manifold, and cause carbon build up on valves and pistons.
To help solve this it is a good idea to install a catch can to filter the crankcase vapours so your intake system stays clean and no carbon builds up in the engine (even more important on SIDI V6 engines as there is no petrol injected onto the valve to wash it). Check out the article to find out more, and check out the website for a catch can to suit your vehicle.
