Hard to say, maybe the herd of little horses? I know a flock of ducks coming at you for bread is a little terrifying and their duck bills hurt. But how painful will the little horse kicks be? And horses are super smart so there's that to consider too.
Interesting, to me at least, is that the JLT can--and maybe the FP can--are not 'CARB approved.' There's no logical reason since, if anything, a catch can can help avoid emissions issues--and I can see no potential downsides--but my guess is some companies just don't want to go to the effort and expense to get approval.
Threw my JLT on after 12k and did nothing special.
Is it even possible to get one carb approved? Main reason being there's no way to enforce where the contents of the can end up.
I wasn't talking about just disposal though. More than just oil goes through the PCV system. Confirming that all of what goes through these cans stays contained would probably cost a lot of money to test.By that logic, home oil changes would be illegal. No way to enforce where I'm dumping my used oil (just reminded me I have two jugs I need to get rid of, thanks)
CARB regulates emissions, not waste disposal.
I hate weeding so I started pouring used oil in flower beds.By that logic, home oil changes would be illegal. No way to enforce where I'm dumping my used oil (just reminded me I have two jugs I need to get rid of, thanks)

you mean that hole behind the garage is now off limits for dumping oil?By that logic, home oil changes would be illegal. No way to enforce where I'm dumping my used oil (just reminded me I have two jugs I need to get rid of, thanks)

I thought it was returning to its source all these years.
you know big brother and the tree huggers are monitoring this thread! They can't wait to get rid of automotive enthusiasts and their dirty ways!What's the odds that in a few years time this may become a reality and you guys will be scrabbling around deleting your old posts about where you dumped your used oil ... ?

we actually have a used oil reclamation drum at our town recycling dump. So whoever is monitoring this thread.....I've used it! I can't confirm where the dump takes the oil..... but I know there's a big hole behind the leaf pile!you know big brother and the tree huggers are monitoring this thread!

I take mine to the local auto parts store. I buy new oil from them and give them back the old stuff.we actually have a used oil reclamation drum at our town recycling dump.

I gotta believe keeping a pool of oil--I get about a tsp. every 1K miles--out of the intake system has to be a positive (the port injectors only run some of the time). It's a 5min install; most mechanics will charge a minimum shop time (which can run over $100/hr). It's butt-simple and fits perfectly, the only issue is keeping the can from chafing some wiring or other part. You might as well get familiar with it, unless you want to have your mechanic empty it for you. It's arguably easier to pull the unit, rigid hoses and all, than to unscrew the can to empty it. I swap mine out when I take it to the dealer for free oil changes (I'd do it myself but dumping 10qts of oil is a PITA).
