Oil Catch Can Install Guide

ok so i did this mod, ill post pictures in a llil bit
real easy to do

 

Congratulations! Looking forward to your pics.

 

soooo.
I bought the 20 dollar catch can off ebay. it doesn't have a internal mesh inside. so I'm running an inline gas filter off the catch can going back to the motor. this way I can see if the can isn't doing its job. if it isn't ill up grade to the better on.
first thing I did for this set up was tighten all the lines, bolts and what not on the can, cause they were all loose. bought fuel lines. I drilled a hole in the center of the bracket and mounted it on the driver side fender, there was already a threaded insert there. Reason i drilled a hole in the cneter was this way the brakcet wasnt attached only n one side, and it looks better this way. I popped off the old lines. cut the new fuel lines to size and clamped then down. I didn't take the engine cover off but did take that bracket everyone has said to remove to make it easier.

 

Nice job, looks good.

 

very nice!
Be sure to post up your results!

 

i will. i was lookin at the lil sight gauge on the side of the can, its cool buuuut a lot of oil will have to biuld up in that thing before it shows up. like 2 years worth of driving, im readin guys empty it out every 1000 miles or when they change their oil

 

Yeah every oil changes produce a good amount

 

good to know

 

Emptied mine today...


This is about a month's worth of oil captured in the can...

 

Damn, thanks for the pics! mileage estimate?

 

yummy

 

11.6K

 

wtf, you drive 11.6K miles on 1 month?

 

Can anyone post a pict indicating where the catch can attaches to the engine on a 2012 v6?
I think I know but just want to be sure before I install a can. Thanks.

 

this is from the org poster.
the new hose to the right shows where in goes on the engine. real easy

 

yes

~1400/month

 

First Oil Change after I installed the catch can. Got a decent amount of oil out of it. Attached are pictures of the location of the can and the amount of oil drained. Time was 4 months and distance was 5,025 miles.

 

thanks guys!
all results added to OP

 

I have read a few articles on web sites that I won't mention where the guys act like we are full of shit to waste our time installing a catch can. If the pictures above are not good enough reason, I guess they don't give a damn about their trucks.

 

Nixinus,
Which model do you have, the micro? Someone posted a link to this and it looks like the one I'll go with:
