Well the can's only been on for about 20 miles so far, I'll have a better idea after a few thousand. I know on my previous car/engine (NA LS1), I was dumping about 6oz of oil from the same model of can at every oil change.

One of the things that prompted me to go ahead and put it on this car was that when I did my M370 manifold install, I could see that my PCV hoses had a slick coating of oil inside them that dripped a little when I removed them, the inside surface of the throttle bodies/plates had a semi-liquid black buildup that I presume is mostly from PCV oil, and the metal intake runners on the lower manifold also had a light coating of oil on their walls. It doesn't take much to coat things like that, so again no idea what the long term rate is yet. I'd just rather not have oil in my intake and combustion chambers in general though
