Let me preface this by saying I do not know very much about the issue of blow by with direct injection motors. I joined an Accord forum to follow for TSBs/other issues that might pop up on my new car and the biggest discussion is always around air/oil separators and catch cans. Some people report they are catching 3 ounces of oil/gas/water mixture every few weeks, some every couple of months, some say the entire catch can is unnecessary.
What are everyone's thoughts? Mishimoto makes a kit that is $200 so not a huge investment cost if this will help prevent buildup for years to come. On the other hand, if the intake manifold needs to be cleaned every 50k or so miles that might be two times during my ownership at most so having to empty a catch can every so often may be a waste of time.
