    Oil catch can?

    Everyone on Gmfullsize.com seems to have jumped on this oil catch can deal. But that forum is a real band wagon forum. If one person has it the rest need to that's why all their trucks look the same. I've seen a few videos of high HP LS motors running one. I know they supposedly keep oil out if your intake or whatever but is it really necessary on a daily driver?

    ^^^ agreed lol and most that show up to a meet are all mostly stock. The Cali boys do it big but that's about it. If your SAAB rolled up at a meet I'd drool over it.

    They claim the LS motors use oil? Mine never has but there are guys on that forum that say their trucks use 1.5 quarts or more in 3,000 miles

    The more RPM you turn at cruise, the more oil vapors get pulled into the intake.
