Oil catch can

[kmrtnsn]

Manufacturers are cheap or else they would have installed cabin air filters as many of us had to do ourselves. you should get your facts together before you start flapping

Something else your vehicle runs just fine without.

Been considering getting one for our Ram. Are there any WARRANTY issues that the dealer might try to attribute to the aftermarket "catch can"?

Thanks.

I don't think anyone would argue that they don't do anything - the question is whether or not it's a solution looking for a problem.
Is my truck going to run better? Will it last longer or get better mpg?
To put it another way, if 2 of us buy new trucks at the same time, drive them the same, and maintain them the same, but one has a CC and one doesn't, will either one care 150,000 miles later? Will one be dead because of not having it?

I don't know...
But I did have a 2005 1500 SLT with 250000 miles and never got around to adding a catch can and tge several times I had to interface with the intake areas it was freaking filthy in there. Like Thailand-after-a US-Carrier-Group-passed-thru filthy.

I sold it for other reasons, and obviously it did make it too 250k, but it was "acting up" and might it have had a happier life and less "acting up" had it had a catch can?
The world wonders...

Not sure if anyone has done this exact experiment. However, it is a know fact that Direct Fuel Injected cars have more carbon build-up on their valves because they don't get the benefit of fuel providing some cleaning action as it flows past the valves.

Also, I don't think anyone would think it would be good to set up a injection system to inject oil into the fuel...say 2 oz over 7K miles. If you see how much oil is in the catch can when you change your oil you can see the benefit.

Eventually the engine with the cc will last longer......but I may be dead before my engine dies....so its a crap shoot.

well, I had a VW Jetta diesel that would soot up the intake in approx. 60 K miles. It would result in a loss of power but would happen gradually so you wouldn't hardly
notice it was happening. A "catch can" solved that problem.
So I can understand how it could help in the long run on this engine or any engine.

It's a commonly known fact the **** that comes out of the crankcase and through the PCV system and then goes back into the intake air stream "lowers" the octane rating of the fuel you're using.If that means you can safely get away with running 87 octane instead of 89 ,the can will pay for itself in fuel savings alone.

I installed one on my 15 Ram when it had 30k miles. Just recently took my intake manifold off with 45k miles and can’t believe the slime looking oil stuck inside the intake manifold outlets and on the inlet side of the heads. It was like sticky oil glue. Catch can should definitely be a first mod.

 

[Lyle Longboat]

Useless. If they had any use or value you vehicle would come equipped with one.

catch cans aren’t a “needed item”. Just like aftermarket headlights, tires, rims, lifts, and so on. If you want to run them, then go for it. If you feel it’s a waste, then don’t. There are several mods others have done on here that I wouldn’t personally do and don’t chime in when I think its something “useless”.

 

[Jeffjttilesetters]

My personal feelings are with all the mods we do on these trucks, if there is a chance it helps and doesn't hurt for a $125 bucks, its worth it to me. That's why I did it. Also after seeing what it catches, I will do from here on out. Just makes sense IMO.

Did designers reroute all that gunk into the I take because it's beneficial to the engine, or because all yalll's votes elected too many hippies too many times and they passed regulations about mother Gaia that made the engineers dump that gunk back into the engine???
The reason for the gunk cycle would answer our questions about whether a catch can is helpful or not to an engine.

And why only the hemi? Why not every car?

Seeing as how your in your 50's,that would be your parents ,this generation had fluck all to do with the PCV system . If I remember right it was somewhere around the mid 60's when the PCV system was put into use across all makes of passenger car/light trucks.You're blaming the wrong generation there lad,lol

Lol, ok maybe I am. For THAT.

I presume your of a younger gen then.
Granted, pcv not ur fault.
Y'all got ur love of socialism to own up to tho!
Yours seem to quickly know history about auto parts, seems like yours don't Kno dic about CCCP tho...

I installed a catch can on my 2014 with the 5.7 at approx. 40k miles. I’m at 52k miles and just now doing the 2nd oil change after installing the can. (I change oil at 6k mile intervals not the 10k in the book). Both times the can was almost full and when measured came to about 4oz of oil in the can. Doing the math, over the course of 100k miles that equates to approx ½ gallon of oil. I’m not trying to start an environmental debate but in addition to the other benefits others have mentioned on this thread, ½ gallon of oil going into the recycle tank at the local parts store has got to be better than it getting burned in the combustion chamber and going out the tailpipe.

You did bother to figure out my general age.
Good for you. You win.

Well I’m glad he bought the catch can and put it on his truck instead of yours. Possibly keep your useless opinions that have no productive value to yourself.
