Description
The Mishimoto Baffled Oil Catch Can (MMBCC-CAM8-16PBE) is purpose-built for the 6.2 liter LT1 found in the Chevrolet Camaro, mounting in-line with the factory PCV system to keep oil out of the intake tract. Machined from billet aluminum and finished in black anodized, this application-specific catch can pairs a 50 micron bronze filter with an internal baffle to separate oil from crankcase vapor before it ever reaches your intake.
Because the LT1’s direct fuel injection sprays fuel straight into the combustion chamber rather than the intake runners, there’s no fuel wash to clean carbon off the intake valves the way conventional port-injected car engines do. Oil blow-by recirculated through the PCV system compounds this carbon buildup over time, which is exactly the problem this Mishimoto catch can is designed to intercept. Unlike heated OEM air-oil separators that drain blow-by back into the oil pan, this catch can is unheated so oil vapor, contaminated fuel vapor, and low-octane condensate all collect in the can and stay out of the engine for good, helping maintain proper octane levels and reduce the potential for detonation. It’s engineered to work alongside your car’s stock air/oil separator rather than replace it, adding an extra layer of protection for the intake system and other engine parts without complicating the factory setup.
Vehicle Applications
This Mishimoto catch can is a direct-fit for the 2016-2024 Chevrolet Camaro SS, the 2020-2024 Chevrolet Camaro LT1, and the 2022 Chevrolet Camaro SS RedLine. The application-specific bracket and two direct-fit silicone hoses with pre-attached stock-style quick-disconnect fittings make for a true plug-and-play install that Mishimoto states can be completed in under 30 minutes, with the can positioned away from most intake and supercharger kits to preserve room for future modifications.
