Cadillac CTS-V Fluid Lock Radium Engineering CCV Oil Catch Can Kit

COMPATIBILITY: 2009-2015 Cadillac CTS-V (LSA)

Radium Engineering catch cans feature oversized 10AN ORB ports, a 4AN ORB drain port, two-stage oil separation baffling, and an o-ring sealed dipstick. These kits install using factory mounting locations and integrate seamlessly with surrounding components. They do not vent to the atmosphere (VTA), so they are emissions compliant and track legal. Closed-loop systems remove oil and sludge from PCV gasses before they ever reach the engine for combustion. A closed-loop system also promotes negative crankcase pressure for optimal performance. Furthermore, closed systems prevent unwanted oil vapors from entering the cabin. Dipsticks integrated into the cans allow for easy inspection of accumulated fluid. No cutting, drilling or permanent modifications are required.
20-0562 OIL CATCH CAN KIT, PCV, CADILLAC CTS-V. Beginning in 2004, with the Gen IV LS engines, General Motors replaced the PCV valve with a fixed 2.5mm orifice. This move was made, presumably, to save production costs and eliminate a part that required servicing. NOTE: The PCV valve serves several functions in the crankcase: promoting negative pressure, and preventing over-pressurization. Also, in the event of a backfire, the PCV valve prevents flammable vapors from igniting in the crankcase. Radium Engineering's PCV oil catch can kit improves the performance of the LSA crankcase ventilation system. The catch can is installed in-line between the PCV valve and the intake manifold. The included bracket replaces the OEM intercooler coolant fill bracket and allows the catch can to be mounted.
When the intake manifold pressure is near or above atmospheric pressure, the PCV check valve closes, and so this hose experiences no flow. Conversely, the PCV hoses will experience "metered" vacuum when the engine is idling, cruising, and decelerating. This would normally draw unwanted crankcase vapors, unburnt fuel, and oil sludge into the intake manifold immediately after a high-load pull.
INCLUDES: Baffled Oil Catch Can, Replacement Baffled Oil Cap, O-Ring Sealed Aluminum PCV Valve, CTS-V Specific Mounting Bracket, AN Adapters & Hose Ends, Stainless Steel Hardware, Radium PCV Hose.

20-0563 OIL CATCH CAN KIT, CCV, Cadillac CTS-V. The CCV oil catch can mounts to 3 OEM threaded studs on the rear of the supercharger housing.

To maintain factory functionality, the CCV oil catch can installs in-line between the crankcase ventilation (CCV) ports and the intake tube.

At low loads, this oil catch can experiences atmospheric pressure. However, when the engine is at high load (wide open throttle), these vents will experience high outflow from the crankcase. This would normally lead to oil and sludge buildup in the air filter intake tube. Oil accumulation in the intercooler reduces the heat exchanger's thermal efficiency and decreases performance.

INCLUDES: Baffled Oil Catch Can, LSA-Specific Mounting Bracket, AN Adapters & Hose Ends, Stainless Steel Hardware, Radium PCV Hose.

20-0564 DUAL OIL CATCH CAN KIT, CADILLAC CTS-V. For optimal engine protection, Radium recommends the 20-0564 Dual Oil Catch Can Kit for the Cadillac CTS-V.
This kit uses both the "PCV" and "CCV" single oil catch can kits described above.

OPTIONAL

20-0024 PETCOCK DRAIN KIT: 4AN ORB to barb fitting, 1/4" Nylon Ball Valve w/ Barb, Radium PCV Hose.

This kit allows for the oil catch cans to be drained remotely without needing to unscrew the can body.
