Do you live in an extremely high humidity area?

My GT has just over 5K miles. I live in Florida - lots of humidity. When I empty the catch can it is PURE oil - not a watery mixture like in your picture.

When you open your oil fill cap what does the inside of the engine look like? Is it clear oil or do you see a white mixture like in your catch can?

What the oil looks like in my catch can:

Talking about this subject. My GT is like yours, but mine has 9K miles. Do you recommend using a catch can on the GT? I've been debating if I should install one. I feel like mine has lost some power. Would the lack of a catch can affect its performance? I live on a small island, so humidity is all year long.

Based on your picture, how long did it take to accumulate that much oil?

Highly recommend it. It’s a direct injected engine, so it will help big time with carbon buildup on the backside of the valves, which will kill mpg and performance over time and requires expensive walnut blasting every once in a while to clean the valves.

Thanks!

Yes, I recommend a catch can - if - IF you are diligent with emptying it.

The amount of oil in my catch can picture is from less than 500 miles.

While there is conflict over whether or not a catch can is effective the fact is that amount of oil would have gotten to the intake without the catch can.

Wow!!! Really? 500 miles that's not a lot. I haven't checked tc0566's video. I will now.

Any preference brands? I know Panda sell them. I will check that too.

Thanks a lot!
