2008 NA tC with 52,000 miles. Latest oil drain was one half quart shy. Assuming consumption, I changed the PCV valve, cleaned the intake side of the throttle body and switched oil from 5w20 conventional to 0w20 synthetic. I added a catch can to see if the PCV valve is allowing liquid oil to pass. Not much room under the hood so I went with a Mishimoto knockoff for $18. The hoses, clamps and fitting were less than $20. I made the bracket from garage scrap.
Nice mounting job, keeps it tucked up out of the way. Yes, the PCV does let some oil through but not a 1/2 quart. I never got more than a 1/4 quart in mine. I ran dual Mishimotos, one on the PCV and one on the valve cover vent. PCV was the only one to get any oil, at least after I had the oil consumption repairs done.

Nice lines. Never occurred to me to use copper. Fits so much better than generic fuel hose.
