Oil catch can after almost 5k miles - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

For those who don't think an oil catch works or is worth it.

decided to check on mine before I get an oil change on Saturday and the catch can was almost full.

3-4oz is what mine gets in 5k miles. Some are worse.

thats impressive to look at...but, if you didnt have that catch can what would have happened?

That first picture makes it look like a lot more than the third with the water bottle. I would've been slightly frightened to see that full. Wouldn't that stop the pcv system from functioning properly if air no longer passed through?

I empty mine every few weeks into a measuring device and then use it for lube for my electric polesaw. Think i get 2-3 oz per 5k.

It catches/prevents oil from going back into the intake manifold. Helps keep the intake manifold cleaner. Doesn't hurt to have one

I get a little less from mine, and agree it's a win-win having one. No blood, no foul. Rather have it captured there than in my intake.
