Oil catch can question.

Hi guys, need some help before i install this.
I ordered RR oil catch can and i`am wondering that since i have already drive my car for about 9000 miles and there must be some oil build up in the pipeings that do i have to first clean that old oil build up from the walls of the pipes or does the can remove that too in time?

Thanks in advance for the answers.

what ever is already in the intake charge pipe or intercooler the can will not eliminate it.....once the can is installed it will eliminate any oil from entering into the charge pipe and intercooler from that point on....

You can clean a little bit from the ends of the OEM connections, but you're going to bypass that one little hose. There's really not much you can do about what's already in there.
