Oil catch can?

[Aldila]

Dude, its just not for you. Spend your money elsewhere on another mod. For the rest of us running catch cans,we'll remove them before going to dealership if there's any doubt on warranty.

Appears to me that GM, by the fact that they're coming out with SOOOO many factory "special editions", wants to do away with those of us who wish to make our own mods to our own vehicles without having to worry about getting permission/blessing from the stealerships with their capricious shop bosses.

 

For me and my tribe, we will continue to mod on "Regardless".

Join me, if you will.

Otherwise, go away.

Please.

Here's a little inspiration for the creative ones still here:

Works on the new trucks, too, and you won't spend much on it, either.

There is only one documented warranty being denied for a catchcan, and that was thoroughly covered and the outcome. Turned out the tech misdiagnosed a failed oil pump and the owner ended up replacing the oil pump himself and the engine was fine. He is now still running the can. Out of the decades and tens of thousands of Elite and similar cans in use, there has never been another example. That said, there are many cans/solutions out there that WOULD have a direct impact and cause of failure of the can defeats or deletes any of the factory PCV systems functions resulting in engine wear/damage from defeating how the PCV system removes contaminates from the crankcase, and also open the system to the atmosphere (any vented or breathered systems). Elite and a few others make sure all the systems they sell are emissions compliant (not CARB cert in CA yet though). Having dealt with the Magnuson Moss act, and seeing how quickly a dealer/automaker does a 180 after getting a letter from a Mag/Moss atty and then does cover if hassled is pretty telling. None of this though prevents a uneducated or just plain mean uncaring dealer from messing with you as most are not aware there is a Federal law protecting consumers from this abuse. Most Mag/Moss law firms will send a letter for under $200 and we have yet to see them not accommodate. The problem is most are not willing to stand up and take the proper steps. Hope this helps to clarify. It is absolutely Illegal for a dealer or automaker to void or deny warranty coverage for an aftermarket product or service unless it directly caused the failure in question.

Catch cans are a modification to a system. Magnuson Moss does not apply. If it was a replacement part, yes, but it is not.

You really are against this catch can idea but I'm a bit perplexed as to why you're staying on this thread contradicting everything anyone has to say.

Changing tire size is also a modification to the "system" if you want to get down and dirty. Catch cans work and you won't have a warranty denial unless you did something stupid like connecting the wrong hoses. They are especially beneficial on GDI engines too. If you aren't considering a catch can or if you are but worried about a warranty denial....move on.

Well said!

Having been involved in Mag/Moss claims in the past, and having studying the act for decades, it does cover everything from vacuum cleaner bags and belts to different fluids used in cars and trucks and absolutely a proper catchcan that follows all current emissions requirements is absolutely covered under the act. BUT there are many that would be. ANY that vent to the atmosphere, delete or defeat ANY function of the factory PCV system (more and more "tanks" are being sold that defeat all functions and just run hoses to the tank) and of course if one was not installed correctly. The Elite cans, Genuine RX cans (not the counterfeits), TracyLewisPerformance cans on Jeg's, Colorado Speed, and a few others like Saku Micchi all retain factory closed systems.

Let me know if you need help with installation!

Let me know if you need help with installation!

My E2 catch can with dual exit ports and Clean side separator will be here this afternoon and i may need some help. I have a Airaid MIT installed in lieu of the stock intake tube. Will i be needing to stop by the auto parts store and buy any additional parts for this install. I seen a post a while ago on this thread mentioning someone had to install a 5/8 heater bypass cap on his MIT when using the catch can, but i'm not sure if he had a clean side separator or not. Any and all advice is appreciated as this is my first can, my truck is a 2016 6.2
