    Catch Can Contents

    Hello, I have a similar experience. I installed two cans. One per side with my last oil change about 1,500 miles ago. I'm getting ready for a long trip so I checked the oil. It looked great. Dark caramel. Still transparent. Darker than new but still only dark brown and not black...

    Power running board stuck

    I spray mine with “Garage door lubricant” which penetrates into the moving parts and leave a light grease behind. I live in rainy Seattle and one side starts sticking every 6 mo or so.

    Auto running boards

    I have a couple items of note for all here. 1. WD-40 is a solvent, not a lubricant. Cleaning and lubricating the moving parts is the right solution but I would expect WD-40 to fail you after the first drive in the rain. I use "garage door lubricant" spray on my 2015. It runs into the cracks...
