4:30 There is a rather intense debate on forums as if to fill the new oil filter or not before replacing. I found a video done by two professionals who say it's a must and i panicked because if have not done so with my cars. (And i never saw the guys at Jiffy Lube doing it either). And i started to search frantically for the scientific arguments.

Some who say you should not (or it doesn't matter) argue that the filters for newer cars are rather small (and fill fast) and the engine can run for a second without oil pressure solely on the thin oil film with zero pressure until the filter gets filled by the pump and oil pressure raises.

However i found something that puts me at peace of mind. The service manual says...

4:35 The place filled with smoke. Got to go outside to check under the shrub at our windows.

5:15 When i went outside i found the back glass sliding door was unlocked. I slept 3 hours, from midnight to 3. There was a 1 ft hole under the shrub. Was smelling a bit like poop when wind was right, i could find none. There was a guy and some stuff at the no dumping place doing something.

After the heart episode last week i was left with palpitations (heart hiccups). Yesterday evening i ate some potatoes, a banana and took 400 mg of potassium and when i woke at 3 i had none. While it appears we need to get as much potassium as sodium, i could never figured where we can get it. One potato, one banana and one avocado each have about 500 mg, however, most other foods don't have much.

Angela was awakened by smoke one hour before she should have. She slept a total of 4 hours. Yesterday afternoon she could not sleep because of poop smell. I forgot to say i disposed of 7 fresh ones yesterday around 7 PM.

6:45 Upstairs they started right after Angela left, that is more than an hour now. With "four people living here" (never saw them with groceries after the snow) there is almost always one awake and kicking.

6:52 Smoke is creeping back in.

3:32 I know why this happened. I suddenly quit eating potatoes because i got worried about my blood sugar. I don't eat bananas and i was down to maybe 10% of my daily intake for potassium.
3:37 Version 7.02 of the catch can still not working at full potential. It works some, but when the engine is cold cold, it ticks until it warms up and i know why.

Though the emulsion (oil and water) condensates in the big corrugated pipe, the pulsating flow from the engine sprays the emulsion at the diffuser and some of the droplets get aspired in the engine. Proof is the emulsion on the top of the can next to out port and diffuser.

I plan to put a pipe around the diffuser that will go to the bottom of the can, this way i hope there will be less droplets to be aspired in the engine. But for that i need to measure the diameter of the diffuser and when Angela came, after we ate, i went outside to measure and took this picture. The moment i opened the door, a very loud ambulance started, like they do about half of the times. Not one second early or late.

3:56 Picture came blurred and i took only one so i had to go back to take some more. When i left, one of the guys from the next entrance (that i haven't seen in months) was ready and exited the entrance. What does it mean. They appear many times when leave the place of crime (opening the very stinking catch can, "to stun my innocent passing victims", so they simulate they chase me by appearing when i leave).

One can see the the emulsion film present on top (that is upside down), also coating the out port (right). BTW wax started to appear again after i switched from Quaker State mineral (that i used all winter) to Quaker State (recommended by Hyundai) full synthetic which does the same as Mobil 1 full synthetic, at 2/3 of the price. Uninspired name i guess.

Position of the wax in the picture below shows the direction of the flow of the mist, straight towards out port (that leads to intake), ignoring the big space of the can below.

The diameter of the diffuser is 34 mm. Ok got to go outside one more time.

4:15 Which i did and measured more things. But had to wait for the tough bearded guy with the big truck (who pushed the Chinese woman's Dodge in the left pillar on November 27). Who was posing as my friend and then she left and the guy stayed. When i got at the car another guy came out of his car. A plane flying very low and noisy heading to Aurora. The Silverado truck left.

Like always, within about a minute there was a show with several people that had time to get ready after they realized what i was doing. Was thinking earlier. It is a show (maya, illusion) that started many thousands of years ago in the name of Shiva. Who am i and what am i doing trying to expose it.

I think a 1 1/2 outer diameter will do it. To go around the diffuser and all the way to the bottom, with many holes in it close to bottom. The mail chain and the lid on top (seen on the left) of it will probably go. Or if i can find anything with 34 mm inner to fit on the diffuser and make it half inch short of touching bottom. Like this but inox or aluminum (and cheaper).

Bingo, wandering if this fits tight or i have to shim it or something. Wall kinda thick though. No way, i will have to go outside to measure one more time! Nevermind, i can file it a bit if it doesn't fit. No, it's not gonna work, the can threads in there and there is almost no space left.
