Official Saikou Michi Dual Oil Catch Can Review - Model S1-GM53-DS

Silverado-Hareek · April 21, 2015

^yeah no doubt there's always room for improvement. I'm sure as time goes on, unless DI engines are redesigned someway to stop valve deposits, catch cans will become more researched and further developed. I think you have a good setup there with 2 cans and obviously catching more than folks with just one. At the end of the day some minute amount of crap will most likely get by regardless of setup so it's good in my opinion to do a BG induction service every 15,000 miles and take advantage of their warranty. Doing that along with a catch can setup should be leaps and bounds ahead of people that do nothing or just throw in a can of sea foam every 30-50k miles. It certainly isn't the cheapest approach but if you plan to drive these trucks for over 100k miles, it makes sense in my opinion. A little money spent on maintenance over the years will do wonders down the road.

Beautifully, it has been pumping out tons more than I ever thought it would. I'm probably going to do another dump next weekend when I do my first oil change since installing the can. So far in 2,000 miles, its filled two full Poland Spring bottles. Mr. Saikou is currently making a spring supported adjustable leg - once I have that installed the final product will be complete.

I will do my final thoughts and the product will be unleashed to everyone

So, that's about a quart in 2000 miles... a standard oil change is about 8000+ per the OLM. 8000/2000 = 4 quarts. Hmmm.

How about a report on how fast your oil level is going down on the dipstick? I'm betting it does not go down at the same rate as you fill bottles from the cans. Maybe something like 1/10th or 1/20th of the drop in oil compared to the amount from the can.

It's a quart of oil and water mixed together, and most of that is water really. The oil content is actually very low. Over the course of an oil change....say 5k-8k, you're probably only losing 6-8 oz of oil.

Yea but of that quart I've dumped so far, I'd say 15-20% is actual oil I see settling to the top. That would equate to about 5 actual ounces of oil or less than 1/5 of a quart... I will start to keep track of the dip stick level after my new oil change (in about a week or two). Just sucks because as you guys know - these trials and data collecting take lots of time.

Exactly

Did a dump today after 1,000 miles since my last and finally saw what I was waiting for. About 2-3 ounces of pure oil out of the first can and nothing (like literally 2 drops) out of the second can. It's only been in the 60-70s here so that makes a lot more sense than the full water bottle bumps of mixed I was getting in the harsh winter.
