Yeah, that Stingray is sexy but above my paygrade. I hope it rides better than the last generation did. I rode in the one my brother-in law had & I would have chosen a Camaro over it. I just like the way it feels riding in it better.
I was told it had to do with the time of the year & condensation. Some times of the year it looks more clear. but however it looks it is not getting blown back into my engine and that is all I car about. I am considering putting a second catch can on the "clean" side or maybe a breather oil cap. I'll look for a pic of my catch can as it is mounted now & post it up.

Okay, here are a couple of pics of the mount of my catch can & one of the very first oil my catch can caught.

Is everything good with that? I've never seen anything like that in my catch can. I usually collect about 2oz with each oil change and mine is a dark, rich, almost burnt looking oil that is thin in substance. I can put a finger in it and see my skin though the oil is dark. Those pics almost look as though water or antifreeze might be in the mix and I'm not suggesting that there is an issue but I'd check it out for sure. This is the first catch I've seen with a residual like this.[/QUOTE] mine has looked similar to this every time I've emptied it as well

Typically the FI systems will lead to condensation build up with the oil in catch cans. I didn't think that was a possibility for a stock input since the input air is not compressed as in a FI setup?

Like I said in previous post, its a first for me. I've changed my oil at different times of the year, various humidity and temps and its always looked like the pics I posted.

I thought I remember someone else having the same milky look to the oil and it was due to condensation

I have had a number of folks tell me they have seen similar milky looking oil in their catch cans and also several folks I have come to trust on this forum tell me that it is a normal occurance. Ruby could not possibly run better so I am not worried.

Whenever I have emptied my catch can it has looked somewhat like normal oil. It has never been milky or that green looking although it has had a little bit of a green hue to it.
