catch can?

what exactly is a catch can? I did the search and couldnt find anything...I know it somehow filters oil, but is it really worth it, or is it just a dress up for the bay

I hear it catches the bad oil into this can instead of it going back into the engine. And yes it does dress up the engine bay up a little bit. I do have one for sell that i never used, if you want.

It traps blow by vapor so it dosent go back into the engine were it can lower the octane rating and cause the engine to detonate.Most all people who are FI have this.

You don't have to have it. does tiny little job. a small insurance you might or might not need let's say. but it sure looks good if you are dressing up your engine bay.
