Aaron Link - Lead Development Engineer - Gen6
Interesting fact, from an article in HotRod magazine:
We asked about any special engineering for the LT1 in the Camaro and Link pointed to the air/oil separator as, “an unsung hero of the car. We developed a legit air/oil separator for the LT1. That was near and dear to my heart. I spent a lot of time on that one.” As all Camaro LT1s will be wet-sump engines, Link told us the air/oil separator is cleverly packaged, so it’s hard to appreciate in the car. Its function is to keep oil out of the airbox and throttle-body—and therefore the combustion chamber—avoiding pre-ignition. Cool... A Big DI problem, that has been solved... This has always been a problem, with the GM 2.0T DI engine Hopefully this engineering feat, has been applied to the 2.0 T & the 3.6 V6 |

Hopefully it will work as advertised. I believe the new system is integrated under the valve covers. I also hope that if it doesn't work good enough, that a catch-can can still be installed easily enough. Otherwise, I would suggest Seafoam.

'Vettes have had DI for a couple of years now, do they also have the same separator system and, if so, are there reports of oil in the intake indicating a catch can is still necessary?

They do not have the separator system. Not sure if they're having issues or not though.

Solved? I think GM s first attempt may not be all as claimed. I would still run a catch can.
My third year AFM on my 5.3 was revised but still screwed the rings and burns oil. I do not trust GM engineering tell I see it is working 50,000 miles out. As noted above, Vettes have issues requiring regular cleaning with BG etc... |

Well, catch can it is. Does a catch can handle both sides of the engine, or do people normally run two catch cans?

I read somewhere that Audi is now using direct and port injection to reduce engine emissions, but it helps with this issue as well.

With DI you want to run top tier fuel, preferably premium, good, fully synthetic oil, and I would run a catch can. On most engines, the passenger side is where you would want it...
