Diagram for oil recovery?

[Nguyen13]

What do you mean by "oil recovery?"

 

[Drakart1z]

think he possibly means an oil drain back setup from the catch can.

 

[CKOPOCT]

OOhhhhh... BAAAAAD Idea. The catch can contents should NOT go back into the oil pan because there's all kinds of water and gunk (suspended hydrocarbons and combustion byproducts) in amongst the very little oil in the can. Draining the oil from the catch can back into the pan is like drinking your own urine.

"but I do it anyway because it's sterile and I like the taste."

as stated, leave the oil collected in the can for manual draining every so often. You can pull vapours via a hose to pre-turbo intake, depending on can configuration. Venting is somewhat popular but filters on vented cans can allow vapours to bypass and then you can end up with an oily film in the engine bay. Vented cans do not get a preturbo vacuum pull

One common easy method is to ditch the PCV, plumb both valve cover ports to a can, and pull vacuum to intake via a third (and fourth if you can swing it) port on the can.
