1fz-fe oil catch can post up your set ups! (1 Viewer)

[Fj80oregon]

Hey mud I’m working on a oil catch can system and think we could all benefit from seeing what people are running. If you have a working set that actually catches oil and you have to empty it! Than please provide a couple pictures and some detailed information on your install and results. I know there is a lot of brands out there and some that may not work, if your not having to drain it than it’s probably not working. Here is a pic of a Amazon Chinese cheep one I got for $40. Questions I have do I need to put both the breather hoses on the intake trough catch cans or just the pcv? The back side of my throttle body was pretty oily so I assume a lot is getting by the non pcv valve side. Again please provide info if your posting pictures. I will be building a bracket of some sorts. Zip ties are pretty legit but..
Thanks wes

Trying out a right angle Duralast PCV1276DL for a little hood clearance with 11/32" straight hose from Autozone:

What catch can are you using?

 

[Tonkaboy]

@Fj80oregon mine's similar except just the brillo inside (no filter).
I opened up the mounting clip upper hole to slip over ABS brake pump stud & fasten with existing nut. It's been hanging on ok so far

Why do you need catch can?

Why do you need catch can?

I had a catch can a little while back. I now route my PVC hose differently with my SC setup.

Why do you need catch can?

Because the motor Lets oil through the pcv valve especially a old one and it’s get inside the intake and clog’s things up. It’s just a little insurance to keep the intake clean. Not for everyone I guess.

How often do you empty it. Has it been effective in catching oil?

Yes, link to a poll since 2016 w/pics: Oil Catch Can- Anyone Use Them? - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/oil-catch-can-anyone-use-them.905057/
I'm collecting ~1/4cup of oil every change from a 270k mi block. PO had replaced head gasket w/ reman head, so assuming mostly from blowby on the block, lesser from valves? This is my arrangement (sorry didn't post earlier, was previously returned to stock for smog inspection):

BTW, Toyota right angle PCV 12204-50020 going to try next. For Toyota pseudo-purist-wannabes like me . Truthfully dunno about internal differences vs stock if any (TBD same or better results ), these are supposed to be for 4.7L V8 1998-2003:

Mine is just your bog standard cheapo set up. Had to replace the supplied hoses with a quality brand as the vacuum was collapsing them.
Not much oil out yet but the truck has only just passed 154,000 miles so it’s barely run in

Mine was set up like this. . excluding the angle PVC of course.

Having a "large" catch can like you have can be emptied when you do an oil change. There isn't that much blow back where there will be a significant amount in there. I'm sure you can go three to four oil changes without it being a 1/4 full.

Look at all those new vacuum lines good work! And yes that is the perfect picture for this thread!!!!

 

[flintknapper]

Kept mine simple:

And Yes....it catches oil:

 

[jcardona1]

I'm using the Amazon version as well

 

[ZetheGSD]

I just finished mine last week. After a few hundred miles worth of road trips I am starting to see oil on the dipstick of the can so I know it’s doing what it needs to.
