Re: Ready for the oil catch can...
They will be under vacuum, not pressure. So make sure they won't collapse. Hydraulic hose also isn't necessarily that large in internal diameter, as volume of flow is not the main concern.

Re: Ready for the oil catch can...
I know this thread is a bit old, just wanted to hear if anyone has updated info on results (oil collected over time), benefits/problems, new products, etc.
How about use on 93-95s? Thanks, Paul

I just got mine installed last April, I check mine about every third or four time I take the car out, I have been getting 2-3 tablespoons of oil everytime I empty it. Not sure of any benefits other that keeping that oil out of the plenum. Rich

Re: Ready for the oil catch can...
Got a noob question. I have a 90', and when I took the air intake off, I noticed a little bit of oil in the plenum. Is that normal? I know the reason you add an oil catch can is to stop that. But, I don't see a "factory" oil catch can. Why didn't GM put one in. Did they design the engine knowing it was going to suck in some oil and it would just burn off?

Re: Ready for the oil catch can...
I was wondering the same thing. I have a oil catch can that the previous owner installed and it does a great job but why didn't GM install one if it's such a big problem?

Gezzz what a beautiful color for the LT5 !
