[Hotrodron]

I just purchased this one by Elite Engineering,I believe it will fit the C6.I like it because the bottom unscrewed for easy cleaning.

Thanks after some research Elite’s looks like a great product

How much oil is accumulated when just driving normally?

 

[LUVMYC7]

Per month, week, year? Over a year I get about a few ounces. It's not much but enough that I don't want it gumming up my intake.

Also, what's "normal" for a corvette?

 

[Keith Tedford]

If you drive easy as I do most of the time, there can't be very much getting into the intake. After 3K miles ours is pretty much still on the full mark. I can see if you were tracking the car or pounding it down the drag strip redlining on each shift, I could see a lot more being sucked out. I think I will get a catch can just to be safe. It certainly can't hurt.

It surely can't hurt.Last spring when I went to clean my throttle body I noticed some oil behind the butterfly.I've never tracked my car, & I only put a little over 1500 miles a year on her.But I do drive her hard on the highway, whenever it's clear enough too.After doing a little research, I came across oil catch cans & their benefits.One video I watched on YouTube, showed a guy (My Corvette Life) cleaning out his intake & that's what sold me on catch cans.

I get about an ounce every oil change on my other cars. That convinced me to put one on the LS6 and I will be monitoring it this year but expect it to be similar.

Another vote for elite. No brainer to decide to get one. Any oil is too much oil to be reintroduced to the combustion process. I already knew how good they were from always having one on the hemi in the pickup
