I was reading an older thread about Oil Catch Can's and a member by the name of "R/TClassic" made the following statement:
"If a catch can was beneficial it would be installed at the factory.if the HEMI blows that much oil into the pcv system we are in big trouble anyway,plugs would be getting fouled,sensors would be failing etc..."
Here is the eye opener...I purchased a 2014 Chevy Camaro SS/1LE back in 2013, and the "1LE" is the factory installed performance package.
Anyway...guess what was in the trunk of every new 2014 Camaro SS 1LE?
A brand new OEM catch can with a warning statement printed on a sheet of paper, mandating the catch can be installed.
Thus, the dealer installed it on mine right there.
The bad news, is that the paper also stated not to use it in cold temperatures, and that it is for off road/track use only where higher temperatures are imposed on the engine.
I was not about to keep taking it off in winter and back in summer, as I only drove the car when it was not raining or snowing.
This is due to the fact that the GoodYear F1 Super Car track tires it came with from the factory (part of 1LE performance package) pretty much limited the car to being driven above 40 degrees, as those tires get harder the colder the temps are, and are barely legal (almost slicks) right from the factory are worn out by 5-12k miles tops.
Also, if the car is stored outside or driven in freezing or below temps, the tires begin to fall apart.
Thoughts on this "mandatory" dealer installed OEM catch can experience when considering the situation on modern Challengers?
