Baffled Oil Catch Can PCV Side for 2010-2015 Chevrolet Camaro SS (Automatic)
An oil catch can is designed to capture excess oil and contaminants that escape past the engine's piston seals and enter the crankcase. While oil is essential for lubrication, some inevitably result in blow-by. The catch can prevent this blow-by from re-entering the engine's air intake, protecting engine performance.

Are oil catch cans bad for your car?
Oil catch cans are simple devices that greatly benefit direct injection engines. The oil catch cans prevent oil and other contaminants from causing a buildup of debris inside the engine's intake manifold
How Does an Oil Catch Work?
An oil catch can intercept and capture oil vapor and contaminants before they reach the engine's intake. Connected to the engine's ventilation system, it slows and redirects gases, allowing heavier oil particles to condense and collect at the bottom. This prevents oil from reentering the intake, protecting engine performance and extending its lifespan.
Features:
- Carbon Buildup Prevention: Oil catch cans capture oil vapors and contaminants before they reach the intake, preventing carbon deposits on valves and maintaining engine efficiency.
- Improved Airflow: By keeping the intake system clean, oil catch cans ensure smooth airflow, leading to better combustion and throttle response.
- Enhanced Performance: The engine operates more efficiently with reduced carbon buildup, boosting horsepower and torque for a more powerful driving experience.
- Reduced Engine Knock: Oil catch cans prevent oil vapor from causing pre-ignition or engine knock, protecting the engine from potential damage.
Extended Engine Lifespan: By reducing contaminants, oil catch cans help minimize wear on critical engine components, extend engine life, and reduce maintenance costs.
Owners of the 2010-2015 Chevrolet Camaro SS (Automatic) often deal with oil blow-by, where oil vapors from the PCV system cause carbon build-up on intake valves. This can lead to reduced engine efficiency, decreased power, and increased maintenance costs. The Flashark Baffled Oil Catch Can Kit is designed to address this issue by capturing and separating oil and contaminants before they reach the intake. This helps maintain a cleaner intake system, resulting in improved throttle response, enhanced engine performance, and a longer engine lifespan for your Camaro SS.
