Oil catch can?

Green 1364 · February 19, 2015

I just installed my RX cc so far happy with it I do feel the vibration on the gas pedal usually low rpms nothing major Ill add foam insulator to the bracket later I hear a small hissing nothing major I just know it workings and it did come with the valve that most claim it didn't come with.

May I ask why yours is white? Is it plastic?

Thank you

They come in a variety of colors.

Mother of god BG induction cleanings in my area range from 110 to 150.00 for my wifes 2013 Sonata DI motor.

I cannot locate a catch can for her car. I called the dealer and they are like why are you putting a catch can on a DI motor.

I used a UPR catch can on my Optima turbo 2.0. I think the 2.4 is pretty similar in setup. Check this video out.

Thank you dude, I've been trying to find her a can for sometime

Yeah it was like $140 for my wife's Hyundai Accent. I can't imagine what it will run on the Silverado. But the guy at RX said they advise against these services because the carbon particles that get pushed through the cylinders can get trapped between the ring seals and score the cylinder walls. So I'm not sure what to do. I'm almost thinking not to do it at all on my truck unless it starts having issues.

he told me the same, I am thinking that if your doing this after 40-50 plus K miles that the possibility exists. But I would like to think that after say 15K and under that it wouldn't be too terrible. I put a can on at 8k miles and hope to delay the build up. My wife has 28K now and I need to get hers cleaned before installing the can

That logic kind of makes sense since BG will warranty your engine as long as you do their service according to their maintenance plan which is like every 15,000 miles. I'm at 13,500 now so it's getting close to decision time here...

I got my cc a few days ago. Hopefully installing it today. Sounds simple enough from what you guys are saying. What all have you guys been having to remove to get to the ports? I have a 2014 5.3. Looks like its a pretty tight space along the drivers side of the engine where the port is. Wiring harness and hose tied pretty tight along there. That back port is where my knife is pointing correct? Did you guys need to disconnect other stuff to get to it or remove all the plastic pieces covering everything?

Just got around to installing my can. Here is where I mounted it. I used one of the radiator mounting bolts. I like this spot better than the brake booster because it's closer to the front and will be easier to empty. I ran out of the supplied hose, so for temporary purposes I am using fuel hose one of the runs. I will swap it out with trans oil similar to hosing that was supplied with the can.

Thanks for the post Fodupot! I had looked around the engine bay for a better location to totally eliminate my vibration in the pedals and never even considered that location. Moved mine last night in fact.

Drained the can last night with right at 1K miles since the last and got just a tad under 5oz of crap out.

Just press that grey retainer clip on the fitting and pull back on it and follow the routing of the hose and remove from the PCV port on the front of the engine under the Throttle body.You might have to move the injector harness a bit but not much.

Did you buy the clean side filter with the can? if not then no issues. I did the clean side with mine and had to go to the Hardware store for a 1/2 pipe thread to 3/8 hose barb fitting for the clean side filter hose.
