Is it really beneficial to install an oil catch can, if the car already have like 100k? If so, do you need both passenger and driver side or just passenger side?

The drivers side catches nothing if you aren't tracking.I ordered the passenger side by Ford, do I really need the driver side too??
Unless your engine's rings are shot and you are consuming the same amount of oil as a 2 stroke, this simply isn't the case. On top of that, catch cans aren't 100% effective, plenty of oil vapor makes it through still.Ok don’t listen to most of these comments because they are just opinions backed by what they have seen come out of old engines after 100,000 miles.
1. A 100,000 mile coyote can still look clean inside
2. Without a catch can oil from the pcv system is introduced into the intake system where it mixes with the incoming air and fuel. This will significantly reduce octane. Regardless of how long you have been lowering your octane. Installing a catch can and stopping the octane loss is something you can benefit from at any time.
one more thing, if you want to completely reverse all the build up and have the inside of the intake, combustion chambers, pistons, valves, and a lot more that I’m not thinking of? Install a water/methanol kit. You don’t even need the methanol at all. You can just run water. If you install the kit at 100,000 miles and have it set to run any time you are over 3000rpm and your engine will be clean like new in 20,000 miles.

Thank you, I didn't even know water/methanol kit is a thing! I thought you don't want water to get into the engine?Ok don’t listen to most of these comments because they are just opinions backed by what they have seen come out of old engines after 100,000 miles.

people have used water (or trans fluid) to do the "Seafoam treatment" for yearsThank you
