I have the elephant mod and have always thought the same thing. I do tend to add some oil between changes, not much though. I remember reading about overfilling the oil causing a lot more blow by and even that the dipstick was wrong. The full mark was too full. I don't know how true this is though.

it is 100% true. If you fill to the full mark you will have overfilled the beast. Next oil change add 6.5 qts and then mark your dipstick.

I had the EHM on my 2006 for about 5k miles never had a drop of oil come out the hose! HOW, first I disagreed with the construction of the PCV houseing on top the engine. It you very carefully disassamble the unit, you'll fined a spring that holds the diaphragm in the open position. I removed the spring so the diaphragm is normally in the closed position, until the crankcase has positive pressure to lift it. Also, I ran the hose to the front of the engine bay turning to the drives side, [all of this is under the engine cover] before dropping down under the driver side and wire tied to the frame. I ran the hose all the way back to just before the drives side rear tire. I never had 1 drop of oil fall out! I did fell I may have been losing so mileage not burning the oil vapor so I have resently made another mod. I got the hose fittings to connect the EHM to the intake air filter box. The part were only a few buck at the marine store. I pulled the box out drilled the hole added the parts and cut the hose to fit. Only have about 300 miles on this mod, just looked in the filter box and OMG looks like a drop or 3 of oil have come out. Hope that helps someone out.

PS Truely when I cut the unused hose out from underneath about one table spoon of oil came out "after 5k miles" with a 6.5 qts. per oil change.

(I feel the EHM is critically important. Without it, crankcase pressurizes at higher RPM, just when you least want it too.)
