Over time it films the intake tube and manifold runners and can dilute the fuel charge, which lowers effective octane. Boosted engines make it worse because crankcase pressure runs higher. This J\u0026amp;L separator sits in that path and catches the oil before it gets to the intake.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe body is machined from solid 6061 billet aluminum. The base is knurled so you can twist it off by hand to empty it, and an O-ring keeps it sealed. Inside, a fine stainless steel mesh filter turns vapor into droplets heavy enough to drop into the reservoir. The tank holds 3 oz, which sounds small, but most PCV systems send far less than that your way between drains.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFits 1997-2013 Chevy and GM trucks and SUVs with the 4.8L, 5.3L, 6.0L or 6.2L engines; fitment on the Suburban, Tahoe and Escalade runs up to 2014. It also fits 2014-2018 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500\/3500 with the 6.0L. On those 2500\/3500 trucks the reservoir extension is not compatible because of a larger neck on the power steering reservoir, and some trucks use an M8x1.25 mounting hole rather than the usual M6x1.0.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstall notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlug-and-play. Check the mounting hole size on your truck before you start, since the listing notes some use M8x1.25 where most use M6x1.0. Check the can after the first 500 to 1,000 miles to learn how fast yours collects, then set a drain schedule from there. Cold weather adds condensation, so check more often in winter. Give it a thorough cleaning every 15,000 miles or so, and dispose of the collected oil properly; it is mixed with fuel and water and does not belong back in the engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis product is not CARB exempt. It is not for sale or use in California or any other state that follows California emission standards, and orders shipping to a California address are cancelled.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQuestions before you order?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFitment questions are easier to settle before the box ships.
