Vmax TB and what i saw
Well, just finished installing my ported throttle body. Took off my Blackwing air tube and removed my TB. I looked into my intake manifold and couldn't believe the amount oil in there! All around my TB valve was a layer of black film. I'm definitely installing my catch can before I drive the camaro again.

Wow! Sorry to hear this. Get that can in! -
Even the V8s like ingesting oil...
I know I get about 1/4 cup of nasty looking oil out of my RX Catch Can when I change the oil..
When Mike was helping me unload my stock parts from his truck, I let one side of the intake drop and oil just poured out of the thing all over the ground.
I'm going to switch over to EVOO.. At least then it'll be healthy oils that it's ingesting.Comment

^ Wow, if this is a common issue even in 5th Gens, why don't these exist from the factory?!

It's my understanding that the design is meant to burn up the recirculated oil... whether that actually happens is up for debateOriginally posted by libertyforall1776 View Post^ Wow, if this is a common issue even in 5th Gens, why don't these exist from the factory?!

I'm one of the lucky ones. When I changed my intake, I found no oil at all.Comment
