Inside Of SC Lid

Had to remove the SC lid to install my catch can and there was oil in the valleys of the SC like everyone else has found. Looked at the inside of the lid and wondered what that plate did. So my curiosity got the better of me and I took it apart and the picture is what I found underneath. The black stuff feels like some kind of fabric. It holds a lot of oil but does anybody know what this really does?

What catch can did you go with. Where did the c.c. connect?

Elite Engineering EX-2, It connects behind the throttle body. You have to left the SC up about 2 inches to get to the factory PCV valve. Here is a link to a thread I started. Got a lot of great help.

I think you answered your own question when you said it holds a lot of oil. If it was for sound dampening, I would think it would be glued to the lid and not held in place with five screws that allows for removal and cleaning.

The more I look at the internal design of the supercharger, the more convinced I am that it's been designed to act like it's own catch can. It certainly seems to provide numerous places for the oil to collect away from the intercooler bricks and bypass valve.

But does the excess oil drain off anywhere? Perhaps it accumulates to the point that one must have a GM "service" to clean the supercharger and intake of all this oil?

I had read in another thread months ago that an aftermarket catch can would void the warranty on a 6th Gen. Has there been anymore developments on this? I had a catch can on my '13 1LE and my '16 SS and stopped gobs of oil from fouling my intake passages. Does the SC in the ZL-1 need more, or at least internal, lubrication perhaps?

I have almost 15k miles on my ZL-1 with no catch can, and I know there's scads of oil swimming around in there. Someone tell me it's not fouling or gumming up my valves and intake, please!

Well, there's one way to find out... Leave it out and see if the S/C whine improves.

Anyone have a contact at Eaton to ask them?

Guarantee there is a ton of oil in there and yes I would bet it is already gumming up
