Oil Catch Can

[R32driver]

Interesting info in this thread. I've never really seen these on anything other than turbo or supercharged engines but makes sense with these being direct injection engines. I checked my oil at 4500 miles before a road trip that I knew was going to push me over 5k miles before I would be home for the first oil change and the oil looked like it was brand new out of the jug.

Just checked my catch can, it's been a little over 2000 miles. Lots of sludge on the bottom, nasty stuff.

Nice. I got a similar amt at roughly 3k.

As for the sludge and light brown, that may be due to the cold temps of the oils sitting in the can. I actually have my bottle where I put the extract and even on that you can see the light brown.

Not technically "sludge". It's just from moisture (water) in the oil from condensation. You'll probably notice less of this during the warmer months.

Regardless, you know the can is helping as that oil could be coking up a cylinder or two.

I just bought a UDP single catch can. Quality is as described by the OP…excellent. I have not installed yet. I am wondering about warranty issues. Nobody seems to have had a problem or I suspect it would have been posted by now. It looks seriously OEM so I wonder if they would even notice. I guess if my engine blows a lifter I would convert back before towing.

You don’t have to do that. If there is ever a case of denying you warranty they have to prove the catch can is the result of your “engine blowing”.

It's called the Magneson Moss Act...

For more peace of mind - Here is an excerpt from a search I found on the act mentioned above:

• The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act makes it illegal for companies to void a warranty or deny coverage under the warranty because an aftermarket or recycled part was used.

Yes it is pricey. I've been running Team RXP Catch Cans since my 2010 Camaro. They make an awesome product MADE IN AMERICA. Two things I really like are that it is a nice big can and the drain at the bottom which makes emptying the can very easy.

I just installed the J&L catch can and notice a slight hissing from the catch can when I have my head under the hood. With the hood shut I can’t hear it. Is this normal? Engine seems to be running fine but curious if I should be concerned about the hiss or if it’s just air traveling through the can/filter.
