Do you have an issue with oil in your intake?

Most on here have one from catchcans.com. I've also heard some good things about the speed engineering ones

When I cleaned the TB it wasn't too dirty I got a slight oil pan leak I'm using a lil under 1/4 of a quart per 3k miles the stock PCV system on these trucks isn't the best so figured this might be something good to do many do on these generation trucks

Oh I see. I know that sometimes some vehicles need them but I hadn't heard of anyone using them on these. When I pulled my engine at 169k I didn't see much inside the intake.

Some of these trucks had a replaceable PCV valve the latter ones like mine it's all built in the valve cover (which I think is why the PCV system on these trucks suck) only way to replace it is replace the valve cover so due to that this would help with that if you were having any kinda issues

I have a '13 Tahoe with 75000 miles with a new catch can installed. After a a couple thousand miles I drained about 2 tablespoons of muck, water and oil mix. Not sure what damage it would be doing, but it felt good not having that circulating through the engine. I think it's due to all these short trips my wife takes which is a killer. Also, from what I've read it's more of an issue if you have AFM.

I got one from www.catchcans.com and after my last oil change ( with a new PCV valve installed previously) I got a few tablespoons of oil out of it. I was surprised.
