That is just simply is false. If he drove the car to and from work and went and bought grocieries on the weekend, hed still have oil accumulation in a catch can. If he did have a supercharged engine or turbos, that would just increase the need for the catch can.
If you can explain to us how pulling oil into the cumbustion chamber, and letting it pool up on the intake manifold floor as well as letting it build up on the tops of the pistons and valve faces is "good", then I will go out to the garage and pull my catch can off toninght.
Every LS engine can benefit from a catch can and is simply something that should have been intergrated into the engine design by GM.

John, really dont want to be bad here but when you have a car other than being more than stock let us know what a catch can, will do and not for a car. By his statement he dont run it hard per say at all so really dont see a reason to put that money out there on a can. unless you are really ******* these motors are the motor is in need of rebuild that can dont get oil in it. With all the stock setup on the motor it works great... Robert

Give it at least a couple thousand miles before bothering to check it. I think most people just empty them at oil changes, unless the car sees track time. They don't fill up fast, especially if you drive as easy as you claim to.

I have the Elite kit installed on my Z06, which I check periodically when checking the oil. It always amazes me how much oil accumulates in there. If not for the catch can, it would be in my intake.

Here is thread loaded with some very good CC information, it's getting long. It's a excellent summary of what some are having success with or not.

Myself I tried a few combinations, recently Rev Extreme convinced to give there's a try. If that one fails I will most likely follow SpinMonsters configuration.
Also my motor sees plenty of exercise, that is a big factor in what happens in the Intake.
