Oil catch can?

[Newm]

 

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?

 

Correct...both clean side inlets were dry so IMO you are correct, the clean side separator isn't as critical to install. I will probably check the inlets in another thousand or so miles to see if anything has changed.

Cool thanks for the information. I'm still trying to decide if I want to pull the trigger on the catch can or not. My only worry is whether I'll void the warranty or not, or if something goes wrong with the engine whether the dealer will try to blame the catch can or not. Decisions decisions........

I don't have a Gen V engine, but I do run a catch can. I ordered mine from

Nice quality can for the price.

Quit worrying. You will NOT void the warranty.

I put the Rx on my 6.2L. All I can say is the craftsmanship is top notch and the kit is well done. Mounting bracket is perfect and plenty of good quality hose to work with. Almost looks factory when complete. To anyone who has put one on...do you really need hose clamps? Hose seems pretty tight on the barbs to me.

I didn't use hose clamps on my car (RX) or truck (mike Norris)

Hose clamps are probably overkill but I am funny like that.

 

Just got back from a road trip and drained the can a second time. This pic represents 2400 miles or so.

Update on RX can I installed 1000 miles ago, page 2/ post 21 of this topic.

 

I drained just over 2 ounces of oil. I'm really pleased with the RX product. The included bits and hose are spot-on. I think it should cost less but I would buy their can again.

 

I have been dreaming of owning a direct-injected engine since I first read about the tech ten years ago. Making sure that minimal engine vent oil is being ingested is a natural upgrade for DI engines.

X's 2 on the pic. Never heard of GM putting a catch can on any vehicle.

gm put one on 2010 z06.

Installed my RX catch can last week just before a trip. Collected about a tablespoon after 900 miles. Will empty again at next oil change.

 

Installation was pretty easy and looks to be a quality piece.

I thought about this for a while and even with these catch cans you are still going to get the same problem just not as fast, so my plan is to take some old Nitrous system parts and make it so I can spray some cleaner in it the intake tube from time to time. I haven't planned out how much or when, but that will be my fix.

 

The other option is to vent this stuff into the air, but not sure what parts of the computer would give me hell. However this oil in the combustion chamber makes it more prone to detention so it would be good to avoid it all together.

_{Hey Everyone,}

 

_{Can someone with the RX catch can on the 5.3L V8 tell me what the part # you used is or what other model of vehicle you choose online to order?}

 

_{Thanks in advance}

[sugarjohnson]

Just pick something like Camaro and then write your model in the order box. They will ship it correctly. That's what I did for my 6.2L.

RX-CC-SV is what was suggested for me, by them. I couldn't find anything for the '14 Silverado and they said this was it.
