Works well for me for a lot of years.

BUT, adding ANYTHING, in the tube or cap raises crankcase pressure & causes more leakage, especially at the REAR MAIN.
Mist is mainly a problem at higher speeds & longer runs, THEN, just use a sock & don't WURRY about it. It's just one of Model As IDIOSYNCHROCIES!
IDIOSYNCHRIC, was Greggs, (RIP!) one word definition of me! I considered it as a COMPLIMENT.
