It cut my oil usage way down. I don't use more than a quart in 5000 miles. Then it is time for an oil change. And contrary to what lots of people say, it doesn't raise the vacuum level in the crankcase. I put a hole in a oil filler cap and plugged a vacuum line into it. I get less than 1psi vacuum. I have 393,000 miles on it.
Hmm... if he did do the CCV delete, would I still have all that vacuum in the crankcase? I guess I could try to look for it under the intake.
