Catch Can Kit PCV for Cadillac CTS-V Fluid Lock Radium Engineering
Compatibility
- 2009–2015 Cadillac CTS-V (LSA)
Overview
Radium Engineering catch cans feature large 10AN ORB ports, a 4AN ORB drain port, 2-step oil separation baffling, and an O-ring sealed dipstick.
The kit mounts using factory mounting points and integrates seamlessly with surrounding engine components.
The closed-loop system does not vent to atmosphere (VTA), making it emissions and track legal. It removes oil and sludge from the PCV gases before they are routed back into the engine for combustion. The system also promotes negative crankcase pressure for improved performance while preventing unwanted oil vapors from entering the cabin.
The integrated dipstick allows for easy inspection of collected fluid, and no cutting, drilling, or permanent vehicle modifications are required.

Description
Beginning with the Gen IV LS engines in 2004, General Motors replaced the traditional PCV valve with a 2.5 mm fixed orifice to reduce manufacturing costs and eliminate a serviceable component.
A conventional PCV valve helps maintain negative crankcase pressure, prevents boost pressure from entering the crankcase, and reduces the risk of crankcase ignition during an engine backfire.
The Radium Engineering PCV Catch Can Kit improves the LSA crankcase ventilation system by installing inline between the PCV valve and the intake manifold. The included mounting bracket replaces the factory intercooler coolant filler bracket for a clean OEM-style installation.
During idle, cruising, and deceleration, the PCV system experiences metered vacuum, which would normally draw crankcase vapors, unburned fuel, and oil sludge into the intake manifold after high-load driving. The catch can captures these contaminants before they reach the engine.
