The amount of fluid being trapped in the can is being greatly reduced by the rising temperatures. During winter, I must drain the can every 1000 km but during the summer 8,000 km.
No problems with mine being parked outside. Temps have been around -20 most of February, many nights with wind chills of -40. There seems to be just enough oil in the mixture to prevent freezing. As an aside, it sure takes a lot of cranking to get these DI engines started on the cold mornings.
"Flying Tomatoes" Good luck with your 6.2 L if you plan to hang on to it. As for me, I'm keeping this truck for ten years. Cost of my Norris can with shipping was $120. Self installed, cost zero. Cost over ten years is $12. per year. I'm more than willing to pay that little for peace of mind. By the way, the amount of fluids caught in the can is very surprising.
Tonight I drained my Norris Oil Catch can. It had about 6 ounces of a tan coloured oil/water mixture. I installed the can at 1,000 km and this was trapped after 5,000 km. This is going to be a worthwhile investment.
