Get a catch can before any mods.

What kind of can? Some have NPT fittings for the hoses you could retape and reinstall. Some have tops/bottoms with o-rings that could not be seated or split.

I purchased from Catchcan.com around 5 years ago. It's the 2" pcv model with the drain plug at the bottom.

It's reverse thread more than likely. My drain plug is lefty tight, righty hissy lol..

Remove the petcock/drain valve and carry it into any auto parts store. It should be a pretty standard size.

Probably 1/4" NPT.

Usually 1/8" NPT butterfly.

I just installed my 2” pcv model from catchcans.com. That’s a 1/4” npt fitting. I actually swapped the petcock fitting, for a ball valve.

Well heck, now I gotta change my oil so I can look at the bottom of mine.

Got around to installing my catch can this past weekend. Overlook the dirty engine at the moment.

Does anyone know if the catchcans.com is baffled and filtered?

Yes and yes. I added a stainless scrubber pad to mine and it catches more.

I know that Moroso has it

Thanks for the replies. I was looking at the mishimoto i like the design but it's a little expensive. This generic one looks the same however and is reasonably priced.

First oil change since installing my catch can. So about half an oil change interval, (1280 miles) I ended up with probably about 1.5oz. Really glad I found this forum, with all the knowledge and experience. [emoji106][emoji16]

I'm running a engine oil bypass filtration system. Im planning to go till it reads 0%(7500 miles ?) before changing my oil, but I'll let used oil analysis indicate when it needs changing. Here is what I had in my catch can after 1200 miles of fast hwy driving.

I find that high RPM and repeated heavy loads, such as heavy accelerating, drastically increase the amount of oil in the PCV system.

alright catch can experts....
need a one for my truck - driverside goes to top of manifold, passenger side goes(went) to intake tube.

ive read you should have two separate cans for these systems, why should i not plumb them into a single 3 port can? not sure where to pull vacuum line - could go into intake tube pre-turbo (nearly constant vacuum) or back into the top of the manifold I would just need to use a check valve (vacuum when not in boost)

I've never seen the point of grabbing the passenger side. It's just clean air over there.

@iamdub had a lovely explanation of this the other day.
