...And Snoop said, “Let the engine bay shine with hoards of bling, and let plain bolt-heads be replaced by shiny ones.” So Snoop purchased every single part that sparkles, with which the engine bay shines, according to it's shininess, and every form of bling according to its kind. And Snoop saw that it was good. But Snoop became hot with anger, saying, "Why have brought this terrible scourge upon my bank account? I will no longer turn my gaze to G35Driver.com, lest I should be tempted again.” And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day.

How important/beneficial would you guys say the catch-can DIY mod is? Ive got an 05 AT sedan.. Ive read up on it a bit, would anyone say its a "must"? I've never had any oil issue with my car, but oil in the air/fuel sounds like a bad thing..
My limited understanding is the only practical need for an oil catch can is on boosted and/or tracked cars where crankcase pressure builds up causing oil vapours to escape, which are then circulated back into your intake.
And for bling.

Ok that makes sense. I wasn't sure if this was one of those keep you out of the shop kinda mods.. But if its just for boosted/track and bling, I'll pass.. thanks
I wouldn't say a catch can is a must, but it's something I'm going to do for the $20 it takes for the DIY. I'm sure the problem is more serious on boosted cars, but it's been shown time and time again that even NA engines are collecting oil in the plenums through the PCV valve.
