Got my catch can mounted (and a pair of LED fog lights installed). Ended up mounting it to the cross bracing above the brake booster. I think it should be easy enough to get to in that location. I appreciate all the posts on here. Makes doing stuff like this that much easier with the helpful tips and ideas and knowing others are successful.

Just ordered my RX catch can after reading through the entire 39 pages! My truck only has 3300 miles on it so hopefully this will help it!

I empty mine every 300-500 miles during the winter. I empty 7 to 8 oz. each time with most of the collection being composed of water.

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.

Installed a catch can yesterday and cleaned the throttle body, intake tube and manifold. I had oil and grime all over the place.

Installed mine at 3,174 miles. After just two days and 57 miles driven. Half country roads and city miles with a couple remote starts since its been around 0°F here. I had about a shot glass worth. I was very surprised at the amount collected. At this rate it'll need to be dumped every fill-up. Its baffling that GM would consider this amount of oily residue to be passed back into the intake acceptable. I mean just look at it sticking around the upper rim and to the bottom of the can! I've been down that road with my wife's former Acadia. Peace of mind that I'll hopefully avoid those issues with this truck.

I empty mine about every 20% of oil life on the gauge. I get about 1/2 a can out of my Rx can.
