Default Catch Can - Why?

I've read all the "Catch-Can" posts and would like to know the benefit of having 1 or 2? I've noticed some oil in the bottom of the air box and that doesn't concern me; seems normal? Does using catch can(s) mean you have to keep adding oil?

Thanks - Duff

Default Re: Catch Can - Why?

A catch can just traps oil vapor that would normally go into the intake - where it collects and can gum things up. Oil use is the same with or without a catch can.
