I installed a RX 2 valve can plus the cleanside separator 12 days ago & drained the can for the first time yesterday so I have some data. Not knowing where else to post this, I'm doing it here.
A bit of background, I have a Z51 auto w/2500 miles on it & it's engine has been great so far. I did my 1st oil change at 1100 miles & it hasn't been consuming oil at all. I installed the can at 2000 miles & there was no oil in the air filter box at that time despite that the oil level has been at 1/8 inch below full all these miles, even after the oil change inc up to today (1/8 inch below full is a bit higher than most people will rec running it, in general). I don't beat on the car or drive it particularly hard & I was careful about how I broke the engine in.
The RX can has been perfect, the install wasn't difficult, hoses aren't falling off, everything all good. Yesterday, at 500 miles after installing the can, I couldn't wait any longer & drained the can for the first time. I'm draining it into an old gatoraide bottle & plan to save everything that comes out. This is what I got -

It's not much, I'd say maybe a quarter ounce (1/8th ounce?). Half of it looks like water (clear colored), most of the rest of it is watery but amberish (& doesn't mix w/the clear stuff) & there was a very small amount of oil-looking liquid (although it seems thicker than oil)(it's that blob on the right in the picture). For me the oddest thing is the smell, it smells like gasoline.
It hasn't been a bunch of miles, not much came out. Don't know if this data has any use to anybody at all, but I thought I'd put it in the database. I'll go much longer next time before draining it again. The catchcan isn't cheap but I'm glad this stuff isn't going through the motor.
