@Point37 I remember you posting about oil consumption issues with your Telly. Is the problem resolved now or still ongoing? How did you address it? If you have a small catch can, you need to check much more frequently during the winter time. I'm in Austin now so I no longer get latte but espresso. That moisture really accumulates quickly.

problem hasn't been fixed but it doesn't seem as worse now...i changed my interval to 5k miles and i check the oil level and the catch can a lot more often...have only been needing maybe 1qt over 5k miles lately...i have the extension on the catch can so i it's not as urgent to check it

Installed on 3/24 a J&L with extension on my ‘21 when it had ~22k miles. I just emptied it about a month ago at 39k miles. I think I’ve emptied it about three times. I live in a colder climate, so I tend to check it more frequently.

Question…. It seems to me like the place JandL says to put it is a long way away from the pcv valve. If you pull the hose off the pcv valve is there crap collecting there?

I don’t think the location is a big deal. A thorough (removing the catch can) cleaning/inspection is recommended roughly every 15k miles. It’s not that difficult, just a bit of brake cleaner and a rag, maybe compressed air to dry, but not necessary. I’d also say inspect the hoses for any kinks, damage, etc. As long as there’s still oil being collected in the can reservoir, it’s probably free of any major obstructions. This is my nonprofessional opinion.
