Sure, you can absolute reduce emissions through tuning. But there is no egr system. It's not a diesel it has cats.

You are clueless my friend.

Absolutely!   What people are thinking is oil condensate is fuels dilution. Use a better oil, tune your engine up.  Generally only  need for blow-by capture or catch cans are racing entities who have

No, amazingly you are. And at somepoint down the road when it all clicks your going to turn beat red.

Not unfiltered to environment. 

Your getting a little nit-picky here. 

 

With the engine off, the only "gate keeper" separating the intake tract from ambient air is a fibrous air filter intentionally designed for the allowance of air to pass through.  The air filter does not exclusively segregate moisture from the air and therefore the air filter is not acting as a moisture check valve.

 

We're starting to split hairs and egos are diluting what could be a good knowledge base for others.  Fortunately though, great side-bar information is being tossed around here so hopefully this topic doesn't go off the rails.

It's Not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

It gets reintroduced to the combustion chamber!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

Correct via PCV system you said does not exist :    6.2L 

 

  • PCV-integrated rocker covers: new domed rocker covers house a patent-pending integrated positive crankcase ventilation system that enhances oil life, reduces oil consumption and reduces exhaust emissions. The domed sections of the covers contain baffles that separate oil and air from the crankcase gases, with about three times the oil/air separation capability of previous engines.

Not ego but fact.  Our friend Mickey state there is unfiltered air coming in via crankcase vents thats not positive. Just getting facts correct.

Wow, finally you go to Google. Please spend a lot more time on there before commenting again.

I said no such thing, anywhere. Wth are you even talking about.

 

Any pcv hose connects to the intake tube post filter.

Condensation forms from humidity in the air. The pcv system is open to the atmosphere, it's pulls air into the crankcase as well as venting excess pressure.

 

I don't disagree with you stating moisture getting past the rings, along with fuel. But the amount of water created by combustion is minimal, otherwise we'd all have steam cleaned piston tops.

 

The condensation build up in the can Im refering to, happens when the engine is not in operation.

 

You can take a look and see a little bit of coffee in the can right after you shut it off. The next morning you'll have some milk with your coffee.

 

 

 

 

Reminder of what started this Mickey.

Wow.  This is fun.  But I'm confused.  It really sounds like you're both saying that a Catch Can is NOT helpful, but for different reasons?  Or does one of you think that it is useful?  Just so that I can follow a little better.

 

Thanks!

So your telling me that you think the filter keeps out atmospheric pressure?

I VOTE NOT USEFUL but not because Mickey and others are confused and keep doubling in and out on that  by sharing that there is unfiltered air with of water vapor coming into crankcase system from outside the engine via intake or associated vents. 

 

Circling back if the engine is well tuned and properly maintained the need for a catch can is a waste of money.

You've outright failed to address my question regarding where your getting this idea if unfiltered air.

 

Own up to error like a man, or continue to throw around baseless words attempting to confuse everyone and paint the appearance that you know what your talking about.

 

I don't know what engine you have, but get off your ass and go look under the hood of your truck. Because I can tell your not even able form a picture in your head if what it actually looks like.

 

You can and are turning this into misinformation. Everything you've stated clearly indicates you don't have a clue if how your truck even operates.

 

Please continue. I'll wear the idiot crown if it will shut you up. But know your not hurting me, only yourself.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Atlas · Posted

      On the subject of OLM, Gm's OLM tool may be more "informed" than others brands. I recall OLM's in mid-2000's Chrysler products literally counting down a set number of miles. That's all the OLM appeared to be.    I would actually expect GM to be able to explain the parameters that their OLM takes into account from a high level. No, I would not expect them to disclose their software coding or data analysis around their parameters.   So we're talking about two different topics, so to continue the subject on the other one, I'd be curious to know how much "standard particulate matter" in fresh oil is able to be filtered at first start by a fresh oil filter. How much particulate matter is enough to "matter"?   I.e. how much of a "lever" do we think this equates to (variability in particulate content, in fresh oils, between different makes/brands, some which filter less, and some that filter more).   We can say that more particles = more wear = shorter engine life as a logical statement and use that data with a little marketing to scare people into selecting a more refined/filtered oil. Using a similie, is this like deciding to forego two alcoholic drinks in a lifetime because we're worried about the potential impact on lifespan? Are there numbers which translate the ISO test results into a quantifiable increase in wear for a given engine/use case?

      I'm pretty sure it doesn't actually recalibrate the speedometer it just changes the wheel speed sensor inputs to the computer. The truck still thinks it has stock tires.

      I apologize, I missed this post, at risk of going off CURRENT TOPIC.   I'm not saying it is BS, I'm questioning how much information is being held back. GM is NOT going to spell out exactly every parameter in the algorithm. Liability, intellectual property, etc.    I'm not naive enough to believe that it is as simple as revolutions, coolant temperature, miles, time; are you?    I don't do irrational either, and boiling the OLM down to four simple values that I could code in an afternoon (I'm not a coder) is irrational - unless it suits your agenda to ignore it.

      Chris 21 I appreciate your constructive response. !!  😉😉😉   The 6.6 is gas.  Correct me if I’m wrong but by recalibrating the speedo you’re correcting the shift points of the transmission on these trucks.?.

      That is a huge misconception.     Bigger does not always equal safer.  Modifying does not make it safer either, with exceptions.   Think of this.  Your truck in stock form is capable of emergency maneuvers, proper stopping distances, its handling is designed around the factory wheel/tire packages, etc.   37s and a lift?  Now you've affected your braking distances, handling and ride control.  You've raised your center of gravity higher.  Your front visibility is now obstructed more than stock, same for your rear.  Does it look cooler?  Yes.  Does it now work as good as it did from factory on road?  NO.       As for my mention of exceptions?  Say you had a sedan or crossover.  They typically come with all season tires.  If you swap out for a performance all season or a summer tire, you improve your car by lowering its stopping distance (better braking because of traction) and improve the handling (regular and emergency) of the vehicle.  That is an actually improving modification.  My old 2019 LD 1500, I ran UHP all season tires on 20in wheels in a factory offered size.  It improved all aspects of how it drove over the Duratracs it came with from the factory in the stock 18" tire.
