I got installed during my last oil change just got in changed around 4000 miles later. Decided to drain in, this is what came out.

I would be glad to find that much when my miles get higher. In 500 miles I haven't caught a thing. What motor do you have in your Camaro (LLT, LFX, L99, LS3)?

...Better to drain it, than have it get overfilled....It's doing it's job...no worries...

How do I know if I should add one of these or not?

csjcsj · 02-06-2013, 08:15 PM

Whoa, that's a lot! Mine does about half that every 3 weeks!

You need one! Buy it and install it! You won't be disappointed!

San2cci · 02-06-2013, 08:16 PM

Where do I get one? + how much are they generally?

That's a lot! I haven't done mine yet... What the average time to wait before you empty it?

Jalberdi99 · 02-06-2013, 08:25 PM

Does the catch can void the warranty? I got a v6, do I need one?

Many vendors sell them but I am not sure I can post price in this section. I personally have to give a shot out to Ivan over at Southwest Speed. I purchased mine from him with free shipping and great service. Another great vendor would have to be Apex chase. He also offers free shipping and has awesome service.

Usually they get drained every oil change but it won't hurt to check if every now and then to make sure it's not full

It will not void the warranty it actually helps the car. You do not need one but it is recommended if you plan on keeping the car for a long time (5+ years). There are plenty of write ups here SC2150 (Tracy) on the benefits of the Rx can.

i think i waited way tooo long almost 5000 miles so i will be draining it more often. It takes a while to drain maybe like an hour or so so be sure you have time. Just put a coke bottle under the car put the hose in it and release the drain. The oil drips out slowly. I did mine on a cold day and it was like a frappucinno very frothy and weird. So happy i have this installed now!!
