So, my ethanol reading was high because my dash (powered off) was causing the voltage to read higher to the car. Now I just need to order the OBD splitter

So, my ethanol reading was high because my dash (powered off) was causing the voltage to read higher to the car. Now I just need to order the OBD splitter to verify whether the car reads the correct value when the dash is powered on. Unfortunately I cannot check both at once right now.

Added Z1 Oil Catch Cans.
BTW. I've got red Z1 PCV hoses if anyone wants them. I'm going to clean them up and post in the freebies thread, but I thought I'd mention it here.

I’m curious how much oil actually collects in the cans in these cars. I’ve heard mixed opinions on if they’re necessary or not Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Based on the condition of my PCV valves with less than 10,000 miles, I'm going to guess it's a good idea in my case. Of course I've got over 149,000 miles on the car. More miles, more blow-by.

It's considerable after a few oil changes. On my car, one bank would have more sludge than the other. |

Good to know. I’ll consider getting some in the future, especially since being boosted would only makes it worse lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you are running E85 you will see more condensation than anything. The drivers side can fills faster than the passenger side. It is more noticeable in the colder weather.
