I swapped out IC pipes on an S240 to discover the oem pipes, silcone connectors, IC and the IC sensor was coated in oil. The car came without a catch can so it has about 8000 miles of oil saturation.
I installed one the week I bought it, but of course too late...
My question is can the IC be cleaned or it the oiling not such a problem?
I think it reduces the cooling because it acts like a heat sink. Will the residual oil in the IC eventually pool at the bottom now that I have a catch can? In which case I guess pooling is better that it coating the fins.
