Catch can results

[GO2JAIL]

I installed a UPR catch can on my '24 6.2 gasser. At 3000 miles, there was about 5/16" of oil in the bottom. I figured there would be more.

I get more in the colder months.

The first 2500 miles about an ounce of fluid the next 2000 miles lite film only.
A little more consumption in the colder months than summer.

Yep...due to increased condensation from the cold.

Distilled oil. Gonne use it on my AR.....

Condensation is not oil. catch cans, the solution in search of a problem.

The CC catches oil...however, in the cold months, it also catches condensation and the can fills up more quickly due to the additional water captured. They are a great solution to all DI engines.

GM changed the PCV system a couple years ago and it's no longer an issue. if your engine is using enough oil to be a problem you have bigger problems, the only oil you'll burn is the actual oil you lose out of the crankcase minus any leaks. it's so miniscule it's laughable and synthetic oil makes it even less of an issue for carbon.

The engineers aren't too dumb to add one, and GM isn't too cheap to add one, it's not there because you don't need it. I'm about due for an oil change and it hasn't used enough oil to even be detectable. if people have fun with add ons like this that's fine, but nobody should feel like they need one.

The point is we don’t want oil being recirculated back through with the air intake no matter how much or how little. With direct injection the valves are no longer washed with fuel. It’s up to each individual how they want to handle it. @44sixpack . You should read the book by Bob Lutz titled Car Guys versus Bean Counters. It will change your mind about how all car companies will not add a piece or take one off to save a dollar.
