In my earlier years, I had a couple 91 Camaros (one with the 305 and one with the 350). I then went to a Lincoln LS and about a year ago bought a 2012 Cadillac CTS with the 3.6 - I was looking at Camaros at the time, but the AWD of the Cadillac swayed me. I wanted the V but didn't have 40,000+ to spend and that only comes in rear wheel anyway.

Anyway, a lot of the Cadillac guys are also running catch cans so I posted a link to this on the website I frequent. Hopefully some will sign the petition.

Thank you and we really appreciate the extra efforts you have gone to, to help the cause!

Wow, almost 500 signatures in less than 5 days! Keep signing, this will most definitely help to put pressure on GM to do the right thing.

Signed. And commented on how negligent they are for not investigating into root cause by just outright denying the claim. Any tech can tell you that the catch can cannot mess with the oil pump which is the true culprit.

Screw GM. I'm moving on if this doesn't get made right because i'm not running the risk of being denied from simple ignorance.

Hopefully this will be an education to them and a possibility to start including them in the vehicle.

Elite, if I were you I would capitalize on this new-found information that GM has and submit your patented design for a factory catch-can.

JMHO as always...

There is a built-in factory catch can system on my 1985 Honda Rebel (motorcycle). It includes a drain tube from the PCV Breather/separator that has a plug and clamp on the end of the drain tube ... each oil change the owners manual states that the tube should be drained of oil. Which I've been doing since 1985.

Pre-EPA regulations cars had a tube that pointed down under the engine and the oil drops/fumes would be deposited on the road as the car was driven.

These "modern" catch-can devices are not new by any means. The automotive engineers do not include them on most cars since the trend is toward zero maintenance which the sales department uses as a bragging/selling point.

Most owners want the vehicle that has the least amount of maintenance specified even though in the long run it will usually shorten vehicle life. The days of grease fittings on the suspension components are just about over as well; no grease fittings on the Camaro or on two other (non-GM) automobiles I own. My 2000 full-sized Chevy van had around 17 grease fittings.
