I think he is referring to the after market oil catch can that uses a hose that replaces the oil dip stick. In my opinion these are a waste of money. If your engine crank case is developing more pressure than the stock PCV valve can release than you have something wrong. The piston rings were not installed properly, they are not seated, or the end gap is to large ect.. The crank case does build quite a bit of pressure even if everything is proper. But the stock PCV valve should relieve enough, if it does not check the valve. I have never had a problem with crankcase pressure and do not lose any oil through the PCV valve

Only when your crankcase keeps building a lot of pressure and blowing out oil. But it really is not necessary the valve cover relieve valve does a good enough job. As long as you do not overfill the crankcase with oil you should have no problems. Some folks fill the crankcase when the crank is not even if the front of the motor is pointing down a little then you will overfill it and you will have oil get blown out of the valve cover relieve valve. The other what they call CATCH CANS that your talking about that they sell that attachs to the oil fill spout are a waste and just something to get more money out of your wallet.
