Folks, some of you paid close attention and noticed the hose placement was backward on the device - though I did point out the correct flow verbally. Thanks for pointing this out. I corrected the placement a while back but never got around to updating the video. Incidentally, the catch can has been working with out a problem for the last 20k miles collecting contaminants that would have contributed to fouling the intake. I empty it out every oil change at 5k miles.
I added my oil catch can the same way as the video at first then I changed later, the results are the same. I looked at the structure of my can, to me it will do the same thing doesn't mater which way you install it.
Thanks for the excellent video. Have the same vehicle and looking at doing this. Am wondering about the hose from the engine to the frame mounted can, maybe it should be a bit longer to allow for engine movement. It is also probably important not to have a downward loop that would become a trap for moisture that cold freeze in cold climates. Regarding engine movement, have someone you trust shift from reverse to drive with the brake on and press gas pedal a bit each time while you watch the engine. Depending on how good the engine mounts are there can be a lot of movement on some cars.
FYI...I just received my catch can. While waiting for it I purchased brass fittings. The 3/8 MIP doesn't fit. My can actually takes M16x1.5 fittings. Apparently they changed sometime since your video was made.
Thank you very much for your time and effort to make this and other videos. However, It does appear the hoses are incorrect or am I wrong? Should the hose from the PCV go to the INLET of the can and thus the OUTLET side hose be the other one coming or going back to the intake manifold. I am planning to install one on my Santa Fe 2.4 GDI vehicle.
D R and others. The unit is now installed correctly. Sorry for not being clearer as it seems I've connected the hoses backwards.. At around 7:32, I indicated the direction of the flow from PCV valve to the catch can back to the engine. The Catch can has been working well now for over 20k miles collecting contaminants that I empty out every 5k at oil changes...
Thanks for a beautifully done video and professional installation job.... the best I've seen of many on RUclips. (Especially thanks for omitting the music that some contributors use and spoil their presentation !) I'm a little concerned about one thing, however.... it appears there may not be sufficient allowance for movement of the engine under acceleration which will cause a rotational movement opposite to the wheel rotation and may strain the hose from catchcan to the PCV. You don't look like a heavy-footed driver but under some conditions there's no avoiding tramping on it a bit. LOL . Again, thanks for the beautiful presentation. (I have a 2.4L Sonata that will be getting the treatment soon.)
i dont mean to be so off topic but does any of you know of a method to get back into an Instagram account? I was dumb forgot the account password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me
@Felipe Rowen i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im in the hacking process atm. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Great video!! My only concern is that which catch can did you buy as in version/what vehicle/ yr/ make/model? Ive been searching everywhere and haven't found one for my santa fe which infact is the same one you have just different color?? Hope to hear from you !!
Thank you so much for making this video. I have the same car and now I will be able to tackle this job even though I know nothing about cars. I have never even changed the oil in one. Do you drill the two holes into metal? It was unclear in the video. Also, how often do you have to empty the catch can?When I ordered the same gas tube as you have, the label said never to use with direct injection engines. I am confused now since these cars have direct injection. Could you clarify this? Thanks again.
Yes, the holes were indeed drilled into the metal front frame rail as shown in the video. You'll find a rectangular indentation in the underside of frame which can be used to center the mounting bracket. I find the compact catch can I use will hold the oil buildup between oil changes - around 5K miles for synthetic. The hose used in the video is not being used to carry gasoline under pressure so you can disregard this warning. Hope this helps!!
Hi Henry, I’ve added approx. 45k miles since it’s installation and it has been operating fine with no problems. I empty loads of gunk from the container at every oil change or every 5k miles.
I recently bought a 2.4 gdi sante fe sport engine. Should I do this does it void warranty at dealer What type of oil do you recommend on these engines thanks Adrian
Hi M. Nice, though I'm not a lawyer and thus this is not legal advice, I would say anything you do to an engine outside of normally accepted maintenance, as documented in your owner's manual by a qualified tech, can be used as grounds by a dealer to disqualify a warranty claim -- after which of course you could fight with the manufacturer directly. Having said this though, the level of modification done here is so minor and so easily reversible, that there's probably little risk to the engine, assuming of course you've installed it correctly. In this case and with this product, I believe the benefits greatly outnumber the risk. Any quality band name fully synthetic oil should be ok to use and in fact my dealer uses Mobile 1, 5-20w. Best of luck.
Hey adrianthegeek.. How's the catch can working out? Can you do an update? I am considering buying the same car but the 2017 model. Iam concerned about the whole carbon buildup and the issues that come along with them. Looking for ways to prevent problems. Also have you done another cleaning with (sorry forgot the brand)?
My last update was after using the product for approx. 2K which you can see on my channel. Since then, I now have put an additional 10K and have found the device operating as designed with no problems. I empty the device at every oil change (5k miles) and have found it approx. 1/3 full of gunk that was prevented from reaching the intake valves. I plan on using a scope at some point in the future, perhaps at 30K, to gauge long term effects. I also continue using the CRC cleaner as well at approx. every 10K.
I have a 2017 Kia Sedona which is basically the same set up and engine bay. "Void" is very subjective to Hyundai's interpretation. Being we're not cutting or physically altering anything such as an in-line Magnefine trans filter, but simply rerouting a couple of hoses, it would be very easy to dismantle the catch can and put the factory hose back on should any warranty work be needed.
Agreed. At least in the video it's done backwards. PCV hose should go to inlet port of the catch can. The hose from the outlet port should go to the intake using the oem hose. The video is appreciated, just that snafu.
O M G you put an oil catch can in the wrong place!!! on 2016 Hyundai Santa FE 2.4 ltr DOES NOT NEED AN OIL Catch CAN the valve cover return to the intake port is on the other side (drivers side)of the valve cover, if you were to unplug that hose leading into the air intake you would see it's bone dry no oil going to the intake manifold therefore not going into the valves...
Maybe, but I know the catch can has been collecting liquid gunk that would have otherwise been routed back to the intake at some point. Here's a good video explaining the theory with a reference to an SAE study on effects of typical PCV design. ruclips.net/video/T-B4VRxAtbw/видео.html A better question may be, why don't vehicle manufacturers take this into consideration? I suspect their overall design complies with cost vs reliability, customer satisfaction, etc demands based repair research and vehicle warranty for x miles and y months. After that, it time to keep the corporate bottom line healthy and the dealer network in business through new vehicle purchases or expensive repair ..

Man! You gotta fix that
yha it is backwrd the inlet ,
How much oil blow/sediment is retained in the canister ? GDI 2.4 a good engine if the carbon issue is addressed ? Thanks for your time.

Any videos on how to clean or how often to clean catch can?
Nice one, looking forward to seeing the collection in a 1000mi!

@Felipe Rowen it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D

Hope to hear from you !!
Most CC are generic. However ADD W1 makes kits for specific vehicles.

My wife has a 2020 Santa Fe, so I'm hoping all this stuff is still available on Amazon. Can you give me an update on its effectiveness?
Hello, Did you do it? Wich brad did you use? Thanks
Thanks for making this. Do you have the model number for the catch can? Thanks
How’s it working after all these years any problems and does the car drive as good as it did when you installed the can?
Hi Henry, I’ve added approx. 45k miles since it’s installation and it has been operating fine with no problems. I empty loads of gunk from the container at every oil change or every 5k miles.
Nice job, but you reversed the polarity of the hoses....the inlet of the can goes to the pcv
Thanks, your video was quite helpful.
GOOD VIDEO MAN! MUCH LOVE FROM THE HYUNDAI FORUMS! :)
I recently bought a 2.4 gdi sante fe sport engine. Should I do this does it void warranty at dealer
What type of oil do you recommend on these engines thanks Adrian

Shouldn't the pcv side go to your inlet on the can and the out to the intake?
Luis, yes that’s way it’s set up.
Adrian 7:34 say inlet is on the left side but connect the manifold hose to the left side and pcv hose to the right side.
Yeah I'm kinda confused as well.
Do you know if a catch can voids the warranty?
I have a 2017 Kia Sedona which is basically the same set up and engine bay. "Void" is very subjective to Hyundai's interpretation. Being we're not cutting or physically altering anything such as an in-line Magnefine trans filter, but simply rerouting a couple of hoses, it would be very easy to dismantle the catch can and put the factory hose back on should any warranty work be needed.
You just remove the catch can and reroute the hose to its factory location before going to the dealership.
heck of a vid.. you're a pro
Thank you..!
What is the model number of the can?
I used the compact model:
MISHIMOTO COMPACT BAFFLED OIL CATCH CAN, 2-PORT
MODEL: MMBCC-MSTWO
9:10 my OCD hurts, jeez at least put those hose clamps with screws on one side...
LMAO :D
I think he put the hoese in the wrong way.
The one from the PVC should be in, and the bigger one should be out.
Agreed. At least in the video it's done backwards. PCV hose should go to inlet port of the catch can. The hose from the outlet port should go to the intake using the oem hose. The video is appreciated, just that snafu.
Yeah. He is wrong.
