I still struggle with the fact that we have one from the factory. Why is adding another even needed.

factory one is "clean side" and being clean the oil that is caught goes back into the engine. the 'dirty' side has fuel and other contaminants in it, so it shouldn't go back into the crankcase. that is why it is burned in the combustion chamber. a dirty side can needs to be drained periodically.......it is the general consensus that the maintenance will not be performed by the average consumer........
there is opinion in this explanation

It is great to have the ability to have a choice. You probably shouldn't get one.

I was a skeptic as well, I found oil sitting inside my supercharger when I did my install, my car only had 1900 miles at that time. For $400 I’ll take a chance at keeping oil out of where it doesn’t belong. As far as GM engineers (and other car makers) not building the cars with some sort of catch can if it’s an issue, consider this...... the new GT500 comes with a catch can installed form the factory. BUT, the 350 DOES NOT. Ford will sell you not one, but two of them for your 350 (one for the driver side and one for the passenger side). My point is that, as big of a paradox as it may seem, these cars are not always engineered to the extent they should be, in other words, corners are cut by the manufacturer. Mainly due to cost savings. My purpose is not to try and convince you, I’m only sharing my thoughts since I used to be a skeptic as well.

It is on the front of the block about halfway down on the passenger side. Black box with several hoses going in and out.

No maintenance required. It separates the oil from the gasses and drains itself

It drains, directly, back into the oil pan, if I recall.

And the CC debate rages on...
Upfront, blow-by is largely NOT oil. It is a mixture of air, burned and unburned gases (sulphuric acid) and oil mist. Over time it contaminates oil causing viscosity to breakdown and left unchecked will foul the intake side of DI engines, robbing power and reducing fuel efficiency. Blow-by is created by compression and combustion forcing liquids and gasses past cylinder rings and into the crankcase. With the LT4 being supercharged, it WILL increase the amount of blow-by over an NA motor. While I do think that some/most of the blow-by glasses are consumed in the combustion process not all of it is and it does accumulate. While I respect everyone’s right to do what they want, for the above mentioned reasons is why I choose to run one. The shite that the can scavenges is nasty stuff. |

Elite Engineering, Thanks to you and a few others here who have presented compelling evidence on the subject, I am now thoroughly convinced that the CC is indeed a worthy investment for anyone concerned about the internal health of their DI engine. After a lot of research, I believe your product to be the absolute best on the market. To that end, I’ve ordered the E2-X directly from you, expected to arrive in a few days. Thank you for your thorough explanation on the various intricacies of how and why CC’s are a necessary component of DI technology. I hope you’ll accept my sincere apology if you believe I was attacking you, I can assure you that was NOT my intent. Thank you, Chris |

Ordered the Elite E2-X as well, but still have reservations about how it may affect the GM warranty (2019 car)
