FITMENT
- Designed for universal installation on diesel and performance vehicles equipped with a crankcase ventilation system.
-
6.7L Ram Cummins / 6.7L Ford Powerstroke / 6.6L GM Duramax.
- Other turbocharged gasoline and diesel engines.
- Includes multiple fittings for different hose sizes and installation setups.
DESCRIPTION
Product Overview
- Heavy-duty diesel engines produce blow-by gases containing oil vapor and moisture, especially under towing, high-load, and modified applications. Without proper separation, these contaminants can accumulate inside the intake system and reduce airflow efficiency over time.
- The Oil Catch Can Kit uses an internal baffled design to trap airborne oil and moisture before they travel through the intake system. It helps maintain a cleaner engine environment and provides improved crankcase ventilation management for diesel performance applications.
Key Features
- T6061 Billet Aluminum Construction: TIG-welded aluminum body with sealed O-ring gaskets provides durability, heat resistance, and reliable leak protection.
- Easy Fluid Monitoring & Maintenance: Built-in dipstick allows quick fluid checks, while the removable drain bottom makes cleaning and servicing simple.
- High-Efficiency Dual-Chamber Baffling: Internal dual-chamber baffles separate and trap oil mist and moisture from crankcase blow-by vapors, helping keep the intake system cleaner.
- Helps Reduce Intake Contamination: Captures oil vapor before it enters the intake tract, reducing sludge buildup and helping maintain airflow efficiency over time.
FAQ
Q: What does an oil catch can do?
A: An oil catch can separates oil mist, moisture, and contaminants from crankcase blow-by vapors before they enter the intake system. It helps reduce oil buildup inside intake components and keeps the intake tract cleaner.
Q: Why should I install an oil catch can on my diesel truck?
A: Heavy-duty diesel engines produce crankcase blow-by gases containing oil vapor and moisture, especially during towing and high-load operation. A catch can helps capture these contaminants before they circulate through the intake system.
Q: How does this catch can drain, and how often should it be emptied?
A: This catch can uses a manual drain design. The built-in dipstick checks fluid level, while the removable bottom drain makes emptying easy. As a guideline, inspect it every 1,000–3,000 miles and drain as needed. Heavy towing or modified trucks may require more frequent checks.
Q: Should I use the breather filter or closed-loop setup?
A: For street use, a closed-loop setup is recommended to maintain factory-style ventilation. For modified or high-load applications, the included breather filter can be used to vent crankcase vapors. The best setup depends on your vehicle configuration and intended use.
Q: Why does this kit include multiple hose sizes?
A: Different vehicles use different crankcase ventilation hose sizes. The included 6mm, 8mm, and 10mm fittings provide installation flexibility for various CCV/PCV systems and custom setups.
