FAQs
What is the primary purpose of an oil catch can?
An oil catch can separates oil mists and carbon byproducts from the crankcase vapors, preventing them from being recirculated back into the engine's intake system, thus keeping the intake clean and protecting engine components.
How often should I check the fluid level in the catch can?
It is recommended to check the fluid level regularly, typically during routine maintenance checks. Depending on driving conditions, checking every 1,000-3,000 miles is a good practice. Empty when it reaches about half to two-thirds full.
What are the inlet and outlet port sizes?
The inlet and outlet pipes are 9/16" in diameter.
What is the fluid capacity of this catch can?
The fluid capacity is 16 oz.
Does this catch can require special maintenance?
Yes, the collected fluid needs to be emptied periodically. The frequency depends on your vehicle and driving habits. The can itself may also require occasional cleaning.
Can this catch can fit any vehicle?
This is a universal kit. While it is designed to be adaptable, installation may require custom routing and fittings depending on your specific vehicle's engine bay layout and PCV system.
What are the physical dimensions of the catch can?
The catch can is 5 inches tall and has a diameter of 3.25 inches.
Troubleshooting
Catch can is not collecting any fluid.
Verify that the inlet and outlet hoses are correctly connected and that there are no leaks in the system. Ensure the engine is running and circulating vapors through the can.
Oil or fluid leaking from the catch can.
Check that all fittings and the seam where the can components meet are securely tightened. Ensure any seals or O-rings are properly seated and undamaged.
Reduced engine performance after installation.
Double-check all hose connections to ensure there are no air leaks or blockages. Confirm that the catch can is not overfilled, which could restrict airflow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Installation involves tapping into your vehicle's PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) or breather system. The 9/16" inlet and outlet ports require appropriate fittings to connect to the existing hoses. The can should be mounted securely in an accessible location. It is recommended to consult a service manual or a professional for correct hose routing to ensure proper function.
Compatibility: This is a universal kit, designed to fit a wide range of vehicles. However, specific hose sizes and mounting locations will vary by make and model. Always verify your engine's breather system configuration before installation.
Care: Regularly inspect the fluid level through the sight glass. When the collected fluid reaches approximately the halfway mark, or as indicated by your monitoring, the catch can needs to be emptied. To empty, carefully unscrew the bottom portion of the can (if designed for easy separation) or follow the specific draining procedure for your installed setup. Clean the interior of the can periodically to maintain optimal performance.
