My dealership said my catch can wasn't needed and wouldn't catch anything. I opened it in there shop after 2,000 miles and let it run on the floor. Lol

So, I added a second output fitting to my Original RX catch can. I had been emailing with the RevExtreme folks about the benefits of a dual output can, and they were gracious enough to send me the par

35,278 Drained Catch Can 1 tablespoon 38,646 Drained Catch Can 3 tablesspoons watery 41,071 Drained Catch Can 5 oz

 

The really full container was during winter. Lost of moisture I believe in the catch can. It is now black to a darker color. Drained yesterday at 42866 and barely got anything.

Is there any definitive proof that these catch cans are beneficial? I can see that they capture some oil but are the intakes/valves any cleaner than those without the cans?

^^^^ That's nasty and precisely why I sleep better at night with mine installed.

Sure, you can post up a video someone else has posted to prove your point. But I'm asking is this: HAS ANYONE BORESCOPED AN ECOTEC WITH A CATCH CAN TO SEE IF IT ACTUALLY MADE IMPROVEMENTS?

 

I would prefer if this was done by a forum member or someone who doesn't stand to gain financially from posting you tube videos of these supposed benefits...

I had a few performers in my time never did the catch can, cheep insurance I guess. I usually don't go to far pass 150k on the miles never had a problem, I guess the next owner will thank you.

Drained my catch can for the first time after 1K miles and was actually surprised at how much it caught in that short time. I didn't have anything handy to measure the quantity so I just put it in a shot glass I had laying around. So far very happy I decided to add the can.

Newm: Thanks for the update. From what I saw in your install pics, you didn't buy the clean side separator contraption that goes on the oil fill hole on the valve cover? I'm leaning towards just ordering the catch can.

Correct...I did not install the clean side separator. I was told that the catch can will stop/catch 90% or so I just went that route. That and there are two clean side separators on the truck and they only have the one for the drivers side figured out so far. It's my understanding that they are working on a solution to the passenger side but until then I am happy. I will also add that when Installing and looking at both clean side inlets to the air box they were 100% dry with no evidence of oil/crud.

Wait so when you installed the oil catch can, you noticed the clean side inlets were 100% dry with no evidence of oil/crud? Meaning the clean side separator is not that critical to install then?

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
