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.

I get more in the colder months.

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.

Nobody is saying the oil is beneficial, it's just that it doesn't amount to enough to cause any harm. and I didn't say it hurts anything if it makes you feel better.

I said it's a joke and nobody should run and get one just because they read on the internet you have to. carpetbaggers have been selling magical elixirs for a thousand years, buy it if you believe.

This has been beat to death on my TRX forum too, supposedly oil vapor will cause the blower to explode or some stupid story. an SRT engineer debunked it but of course he's an idiot and the snake oil salesman knows best.

Whatever, I just find it comical.

Well you got this part right...the SRT engineer is an idiot and the snake oil salesman knows best

Like I said, it’s up to each one to make their decision. I personally don’t want 1-2 ounces of oil and condensate going back through my engine every 3k-5k miles.

For sure, everyone knows random people and salesmen on the internet are where the smart folks get their information. screw the people who design and build things they're stupid .

There are 128 ounces in a gallon. that would be 64-128 oil changes at 5,000 mile intervals. that's between 320,000-640,000 miles to the gallon. now that's a scary thought. NOT.

Don't forget the majority of any oil that's lost between changes is either leaked, put through the guides or bypasses the rings. so 1-2 oz of actual oil in the Ronco can is probably generous.

See...now you're starting to get it Good boy!

Well after reading all that nonsense I’m out to take the separator off. NOT.

I told my engine programmer WHO I TRUST WITH MY VEHICLES about my new truck. He immediately said I should get on because it is a DI engine and will help/prevent carbon build up and detonation on the valves. Good enough for me.....
