If you like rediculous, thats the setup to have. Theres zero need for that. Its actually detrimental to a street car.
Have you ever measured your crankcase pressure? Number one concern is, IF you have any pressure building,,, great that setup you have is relieving it. BUT you have no vacuum in your crankcase, so A: you have nothing helping the rings to seat, lame. B: IF there is crankcase pressure that means you have combustion gas making it into the crankcase and again, having NO vacuum your not scavenging those fuel vapors out of there. They are mixing with your oil, shortening its life and wear capabilities.
That setup is a drag race only setup. where you change the oil after every event, and your just waiting for your experimental engine to explode. That setup saving you from track oildown and possible DQ.
BUT you have a street car, so that scenario isnt your daily life is it?
A simple setup with say krank vents would benefit you greatly. If you really want, a small can to catch any traveling oil, then you put it inline with the vac side of the setup between the pcv valve and the valve cover.
Thats my .02c

...BUT the other topic... i've been using mobil 1 on my S for almost 5 years now with 0 issues. hahaha what in the oil causes a problem for our motors? What makes it different from other company oil? those are the questions im interested in.
