Oil catch can

[Danyi2170]

Is there any benefits on installing an oil catch can on our vehicles?

Probably not so much needed on your 2019 but if the warranty is not a consideration it sure wouldn't hurt anything. I'd be curious to see if it catches much from the crankcase fumes.

Lots of folks here have installed oil catch cans. This stops oil residue to entering the throttle body and the combustion chamber, where it does not belong.

Other folks on this Forum can give you a more complete answer.

I have one and I have to drain every 2000 miles, it’ll hold about a cup of oil

I am capturing about 1 ounce of oil in my catch can for every 1000 miles driven.

Dew it.

Mine is almost full every oil change.

The pro’s far outweigh the cons, especially on a direct injection system. In short: in port-injected engines, the fuel being sprayed into the intake works as a cleanser, washing off any oil buildup that might occur. Since direct injection engines shoot fuel directly into the cylinder, there's nothing preventing gunk from building up on the intake side. A catch can acts as a filter, plugging into this hose line to "catch" the contaminants before they can reach the intake.
My 2018 has a catch can on it and my wife’s 2016 does not. Eventually I am going to get a snake cam in there and compare the two engines. Judging by the amount of gunk I empty out on a regular basis, I’m going to guess mine will be cleaner.
