There are several factors that come into play to effectively remove & trap oil mist/vapors from the PCV flow.
1. Condensation
This is the most effective, and how most cans work (even an empty beer can will catch a good amount of oil of plumbed inline).
The vapors traveling through the can make contact with the outer (cooling) surface and the oil is condensed to droplets where they fall to the bottom of the can and are trapped for removal.
2. Slowing the velocity of the flow in a large enough chamber to prevent these droplets from being carried through the can and into the intake manifold.
Lastly come the Ebay and other off-brands that are nothing more than an empty can wit 2 fittings attached. These WILL catch oil, but most comes in and right out the outlet, and the home depot/lowes air compressor plastic devices. They will again catch oil, but let far to much through.
The RX can has a perforated dispersion tune running down the center from the inlet that disperses the gasses to contact the most possible cooling/condensing surface, then it is large enough in area (nearly 1 qt) to allow the flow to slow enough to drop out of suspension, it then flows around an internal disc baffle system giving it one more surface to contact and cool and forces it to contact the outer cooling surface evenly before exiting through and integrated poly check valve to prevent any reversion.
Does that mean these other cans are junk? Absolutely not! Most are extremely high quality in construction & appearance, and DO catch most of the oil, so they should all be considered as good choices over nothing at all, and will prevent most of the issues oil in the intake air charge cause. So weigh the price and your goals in making your choice.
The RX can requires NO dis assembly to clean. The filter media cans require disassemble & cleaning (including removing the mesh and cleaning it) every few days/weeks of use to be truly effective. The RX has a easy drain valve on the bottom and a remote 3' long drain hose to zip tie in place so you can simply put a drain pan under the car to catch it. No mess, No dis-assembly, and no internal cleaning needed ever.
The RX can is the ONLY can on the market with an integrated PCV/check valve to ensure the proper flow/metering that the LSX V8's require.
RX performance has the ONLY can specifically configured for forced induction applications with dual poly check valves integrated into the design, and the RX standard can is $139 (add $20 for FI).
Models for V6 & V8 most any car, and any engine.
