1LE Oil Catch Can

[Billy10mm]

There are but 3 things I had in my mind that would need to be changed on my 1LE:

• Skip-shift eliminator is a must-have
• Clutch/Brake reservoir separation
• Oil catch can since I don't like unnecessary dirt/oil where it doesn't belong

The question I have is, is that I understand the ZL1 has an oil catch can and for some reason somewhere I thought I read that the 1LE also has a catch can from the factory.

Is this true? If not, I've got my JDP Motorsport cart filled with all 3 items ready to go.

The catch can you are referring to is actually just a drain back oil separator for the clean side. The Clean side separators should not be used for anything other than track use because of the condensation they collect and let right back into the engine. Being that you have a 1LE your car should have came with one. A lot of time they are in the trunk.

The best solution would be to run 2 catch cans; one for the clean side one for the dirty side. Most don't bother with the clean side as it is only responsible for roughly 5% of the oil that gets drawn through.

Please feel free to call, PM or email me anytime with questions and thanks for considering us for your mods!

Down in SoCal, it may be another story as you don't really see the freezing temps we do here in our cold climate.

One way to test the thoery to see if you are okay running the 1LE separator or not is to look at the contents of your catch can. If it looks milky or creamy similar to chocolate milk, than you are catching condensation and I would suggest removing it for your "colder months". If it just looks like oil, then you are probably okay.

My 1LE is queued for production this week and I'm planning to install a K&N CAI and really thinking of getting an Rx catch can w/single check valve. Any insight on the catch can since I'm not tracking it? I'm also not going to be driving Miss Daisy either!

Also, the factory separator will NOT work with the K&N CAI, or will it?

You can use the factory seperator with your CAI, should not be an issue. Regarding the catch can, RX is no longer available, look at getting the APEX can or Elite Engineering instead.

Thanks for the info, I was thinking the placement of the CAI would require a modification for the stock separator. I communicated with RX yesterday about the catch can. Why are you saying it is no longer available?
