Default Billet Oil catch can install today

Read info on the LT2 engine that some oil does get into the PVC system then into the intake etc.
Even with less than 200 miles owners reported oil in the PVC lines.

So i decided to go with this really cool trick billet catch can from UPR Products.

Super easy.

Looks great to.

Hey you Bowling Green engineers... where are you on this issue with owners claiming raw oil in the intake at only 200 miles? Shouldn't this oil catch can be a standard feature on the new C8? If not, then why?

What there should be is a proper deaerator in the dry sump. Oil comes in to the dry sump into a cone shaped funnel where air is released before the oil falls into the sump.
