Most kids these days don't know how to use tools anyways, let alone want to get dirty . . . unless they're from a region where they're raised better in the first place.

(another sidebar): Including many at Jiffy Lube and the like.

That having been said, if a kid today wanted to play a catastrophic prank, they'd likely stab the tires or put a rock through the windshield.

I think Rockrz is looking for a catch can that catches oil vapor from the crankcase and collects it.

Personally, I see no reason for such a thing to be added unless the engine has some kind of issue that would be solved with one . . . or unless the engine is such a high-end racing engine that is has a lot of vapor in the crankcase air and a lot of blow-by from loose-fitting rings and forced induction.

. . . which is why I asked:

The 5300 isn't known to need anything like this unless highly modified, or unless the PCV path is removed for some reason.
