    Hey Guys,

    Installed an oil separator/catch can on the engine. I took it off my FJ cruiser when I sold it so I installed it on this vehicle. Here are some pics.

    Intercepts the nasty shit so it doesn't get reintroduced into the intake.

    I understand the reasoning behind a catch can, but honestly does it help that much? I've seen pictures of what all it catches, but the majority of people never fool with installing one. Has there ever been any failures directly related to not using a catch can on a non-turbo engine?

    Alright, so does the junk burn up? I'm just trying to consider whether or not I should purchase one. Any specific brands to stay away from?

    I have wondered this also, unless your engine is very worn causing crankcase pressure build or in boost.

    Either way nice install

    I think multi-displacement engines benefit a bit.

    I don't know if I could justify spending that amount of money on one. I was thinking something like this one on Amazon?

    catch cans are a huge benefit on direct injection engines. As there is no fuel to keep the intake valves clean. At least toyota keep a dual injection system so this shouldn't be as big of an issue. But a catch can only has pros, no cons

    Usually takes a while to fill. My G8 with 80k miles only has a couple tablespoons in it per oil change. But some engines are looser than others.
