In general, if you run a premium oil its better to allow the oil into the intake verses trying to catch it. Assuming no egr on a deleted truck.
Oil catch can
Okay I had my catch can for over two months now and it don’t catch anything is it worth having it? On the other hand I got the p226c code driving back from Roswell nm to Albuquerque. Instead of replacing the turbos would a single turbo from cft be a better benefit? The last time I got the p266c the calibrated the wastegate actuator and it was good till now

What catch can are running? Maybe it’s not baffled and the oil vapor doesn’t have a chance to condense and collect in the bottom.
If you decide to go single turbo route, I’ll be watching closely. From what I can tell, cummins managed to convince a motor home builder in Australia to run a single turbo ISV in one of their motor homes.

It’s the cft catch can. I just ordered their solution kit wrinkle red 👍. Was thinking about sending in the intake manifold to get it ported and polished and colored red as well. I got a bunch going on next month so if I do go single turbo route I’ll order it at the beginning of July.What catch can are running?

I would be interested to see the baffling system cft uses, I’ve built my own catch can before and it would catch 1 to 1.5 oz of oil every 4k miles. My biggest question on the single turbo side is the tuning. Exhaust, intake, and oil lines are easy stuff.
From what I can tell, it’s the vgt version of our low pressure turbo.What catch can are running? Maybe it’s not baffled and the oil vapor doesn’t have a chance to condense and collect in the bottom.

We might of seen the same documentation, I would like to see some part diagrams but it’s pretty hard to find much information from tiffin motor homes.From what I can tell, it’s the vgt version of our low pressure turbo.
Yup that’s was my next step was looking who can tune it. I’ll send them an email to see if they can get me pointed in the right direction but I’ll hope for the bestI would be interested to see the baffling system cft uses, I’ve built my own catch can before and it would catch 1 to 1.5 oz of oil every 4k miles.

Tiffin Motorhomes is an American company that builds and ships Australian spec'd motorhomes. They were family owned and based in Alabama I believe but got bought out by Thor Industries a few years ago. That's why they use Cummins motors. The 5.0 ISV engine was primarily used in motorhomes and school buses with a single turbo before being used in the Titans.From what I can tell, cummins managed to convince a motor home builder in Australia to run a single turbo ISV in one of their motor homes.
It is possible to correctly tune this engine for a fixed geometry turbo with a waste gate. I haven't done it and I won't be looking at different turbos until next year at this rate.Yup that’s was my next step was looking who can tune it.

Thank you for the correction and the information. I doubt many got made. With any luck we will have one of those ISV powered school buses will come through work.Tiffin Motorhomes is an American company that builds and ships Australian spec'd motorhomes.

I tend to think that if the engine needed a catch can, Cummins would have designed it with a catch can. 🤷♂️
It already sort of has one on the driver side valve cover. However, it doesn't catch everything.I tend to think that if the engine needed a catch can, Cummins would have designed it with a catch can. 🤷♂️
Weirdly has fleet guard written on it, I wonder why cummins didn’t make it replaceable like fords.It already sort of has one on the driver side valve cover. However, it doesn't catch everything.
It’s not actually a filter, it’s a condenser of sorts.Weirdly has fleet guard written on it, I wonder why cummins didn’t make it replaceable like fords.
Yea, I just wish cummins would of made it serviceable and not require removal of the valve cover to access.It’s not actually a filter, it’s a condenser of sorts.
Mercedes uses glorified steel wool for their condenser. It has to be replaced if you use oil that cokes up, if you use a premium synthetic oil it never goes bad.Yea, I just wish cummins would of made it serviceable and not require removal of the valve cover to access.
It's basically a coalescent filter, so as you run good oil, it shouldn't need servicing. However, I would prefer it to be removable with the valve cover in-tact because why not? I like servicability, and I'm sure everybody else does.Weirdly has fleet guard written on it, I wonder why cummins didn’t make it replaceable like fords.
