so with the canister it actually IS reusing some of the oil that would have been lost - that makes sense - im more likely to try the breather first but that seems like it would just vent the burnt oil into the engine bay instead of out the exhaust... then again my old firebird had a breather on the valve cover and it never burnt a spec of oil

side note - everytime i go to advanced auto the guys there want to talk about the vx - same 3 guys - they all have tuner cars and some of them are models ive never heard of or weird imports that are called something different across the oceans - they keep telling me to basically dismantle the entire emissions system on the vx - apparently these guys dont use any type of egr or pcv or even cat converters - they say not only does it help with stupid stuff like oil burn but you also usually get dramatic performance gains without the emissions crap - if i keep the vx and continue to live in indiana where emissions are not regulated on vehicles i might look into this
