Oil Catch Can

So whats all your opinions on these? 2 times now I have had my oil samples come back contaminated with gas and possibly blow by was the cause. All my injectors are good and not leaking, I did idle a while when picking up my daughter from school. So is a catch can going to help this? Is it a good idea to hsve one anyways? Im not super charged, just a plain old 4.0 ltr

 

Oil catch can.

 

first upgrade I did to my 2011 that I bought 6 months ago ,was the oil catch can , Helps keep my cat clean for one ,

 

I am not keen on how you did that, but it's freaking hilarious!

 

So heres the next question. Doing research on these and I see baffled and non baffled. Which one did you ho with old55guy?

 

Not my picture , but this is the can I got , I want to put that kitchen screen stuff in it but have not yet , did you read that big tread on oil catch can here Tacoma world ?

 

Just ordered!!!! Thanks for the info. Keep you posted here when installed.

 

This one is baffled so I dont believe I have to put the pot scrubber in it.

 

I read all 37 posts and from what info I
Got is you dont want to go cheap. So I decided on this one like yours too.

 

What did you make your bracket out of? Mine below is hoakey but does the job for now.

 

Installed!! Keep you guys posted on what I collect and mileage.

 

here you go ,I"m going to paint the letters black , no chrome hose clamps , and also no ID stuff on the hoses . I do not want the Ca. SMOG MAN to see any PVC upgrade stuff !

 

tacos out there with 400+ k miles without an oil catch can....

About the only time id consider one is if i was boosted.

 

With original CATS ?????????

 

800 miles, didnt measure nor empty til oil change. But holy cow!!!!!

 

Boosted or not, where does this shit go if u didnt have one. How often do u change out your pcv valve then? Never says to in maintenance manual.

 

Where are the lines routed 'in and out'?

That's nasty!!

 

So follow your egr hoses and the port coming out of engine block, back of motor, goes to the in side of catch can. Out side of catch can goes to in port of egr valve. Buy a good catch can, baffled preferred, good 3' of rubber hose, fuel line that wont collapse, and 4 hose clamps. Make sure hose clamps are good and tight so you dont get an air leak. The hardest part is mounting this thing, fabricating a bracket.

 

If you don't have a catch can, it gets sucked into the intake and burned by the motor. The PCV only needs to be changed when it goes bad.
