The question I get asked a lot is, Are oil catch cans really needed? Well, it depends on who you ask, I happen to be one that thinks (based on data) that oil catch cans may reduce the oil that coats the intake valves and in the cylinder. I took a tour of the J&L OSC headquarters to see the process of how the cans are made and to get more information on them.
Of course, do your own research, however, I will be adding one to our Broncos to test for ourselves.

Hey thanks for the video on the J&L oil catch can. I purchased one and at my first oil change could see it works. Thanks again
can attest that it works! 1 oz collected every 500 miles new jeep wrangler.
Great video on this topic. I recently bought a 2024 Silverado with the 5.3L V8 and the very first thing I did was install a J&L catch can. Great insurance in my opinion.
Great video on the Oil Catch Can. Thanks.
Thank you for watching
I guess I'm lucky on my 19 F 150 3.5 52k miles now
OEM PCV tube was dry, no residue.
Tried a JLT at about 40k out of curiosity.
2 oil changes about 7k and only had a film of oil in the can, not even enough to absorb with a towel.
Scoped the intake runners, nice and shiny valves, slight discoloration.
Pulled the can gave it to a friend with a higher mileage 2015 F 150.
First oil change he had almost 1/4 can of liquid.
So the cans definitely do work.
Nice having you two at the shop! Looking forward to your results and the new ride when it gets here :)
Absolutely! Let’s see how Becky did installing hers 😎👍
Good to know that Driven Wild actually, “doesn’t recommend any modification”. So that would include catch cans too! Why spend so much time and effort on a product you don’t recommend?
Good info Duane, that was a nice looking cyber orange outer banks also but I may be a little biased 😂🤣😂
👍
I have a ProVent 200 oil catch can on my Jeep Ecodiesel. And I collect around 50 milliliters for every 1000 miles. Thats how much oil I am preventing from going back into the intake.
Would you please do a Bronco Raptor install video?

I just purchased a new Nissan Frontier Pro 4x and bought one of these for it and installed it. It took longer to get my tools together than install it.
My exact comment on another channel, LOL.
So does the internal filter consist of one of those STAINLESS "SCRUBBY PADS"? My hope was to see what the internals were and a description on HOW the "CATCH PART" actually worked!
Did anyone try installing a catch can on the 2005-2010 Honda Odyssey? Mine has an unusual PCV shape. Please let me know if it is at all possible to install the catch can on the 2010 Odyssey. Thank you
I own a 2016 GMC Sierra 2500 HD with a 6.0L Vortec gas engine. Since my Sierra utilizes Sequential Fuel Injection (SFI), rather than, Direct Injection, would an OCC still be a necessary upgrade?
Great video i use the same oil Catch can on my f150 for years. My question is what are your thoughts on other oil catch cans that do both sides allot more work. J&L says its not needed on drivers side as much, your thoughts on this. Thanks for your videos
I have the same question for my 2020 F150 3.5L Ecoboost
Are CC bad in extreme cold weather
Wish they produced a larger can so it could be changed every oil change without the fear of it overflowing. After all, their official video says to expect 1oz per every 1000 miles. Most people change their oil every 5,000 miles. Otherwise, great product!
You can get a 3 oz doubler.
I ran one of his catch cans on my F150. It definitely catches oil and contaminants. I now have a 2.3 L in my new bronco. But before I buy a can got a couple of general questions/observations. One, isn’t adding this can going to make the PVC function less efficiently, and add a lower pressure if you will? Two, I’m still under warranty, and I believe that if there was some engine failure with the direct injection and PVC, that warrantee would be void. Finally, I intend to keep this bronco as long as I’ve kept my 1975 version, I’m most likely going to have to walnut blast the intake valves in time regardless if I run a catch can or not, right?
Thank you I really enjoy watching your channel
Unfortunately that remains to be seen. However, it's easy to temporarily remove it if you need dealer work done.
My question is...why J&L? I see quite a few that "look" the same. Is there some kind of internal advantage that I don't see? I'd rather pay $40 vs $160...
The only downside I don’t see any for my vehicle 2012 GMC Arcadia and I need one for sure any advice where I can get one from?
Did you try J&L OSC?
Not necessary on the 2.7
Ford made it port and direct injection for this reason. Definitely need it on the Direct injection only engine for sure.
Stay tuned for our 5000 mile oil change and reveal of what’s in it in our 2.7
Mine has only been on a few thousand miles and already has oil in it
@@BirdDogOffRoadAdventures There are many reasons why some get more than others. altitude, temperature the type of oil (how many miles) and boost. Not all rings are as tight as others etc... Glad to see yours is doing its job.
@@BirdDogOffRoadAdventures every engine will produce some oil in a catch can, it's just not necessary or I believe beneficial for the 2.7 in the Bronco. The port injection will keep the valves plenty clean. In these times, save your money for things that will truly make a difference.
I have a 2020 F150 with the 5.0 V8. Will this engine benefit from the oil seperator?
Yes coyote has decent amount of blow by
PCV systems on a turbo engine slowly oil fill the lower levels of the things Intercooler as well as dumping oxygen deprived combustion gasses and oil into the engine intakes. IF you choose a catch can device .. As opposed to venting directly to atmosphere ? At least buy one with a useable capacity A quart or more Unless you like emptying /cleaning out a tea cup size thing every couple of weeks.
One question, Can I mount them sideways?
No, it uses a filter inside to catch the oily vapor and that then drains down into the catch can
I thought so, but thanks for replying!
No.
Do you have a promo code?
I will have one on the product review video coming up next. This video was just showing where the product is made.
i think it voids the engine warranty on most cars.my hyundai santa fe has a hundred thousand mile ,10 year warranty.the service mechanics say they never had to deal with carboned up intake valves .even though they say there is some carbon on the back of the intake valves,its not enough to effect the running of the engine .they say in high millage engines the deposits can get big ,they just break off and get sucked in the cylinder and disinagrate The mechanics at honda told me the same thing ,and that they never had to take an intake manafold off and walnut blast the valves.the cars tat are the most vulnerale to this are vehicals that are run exsessively hard and engines that are real high millage. .these senereos cause the engines to produce allot more blow by gasses.Another factor is not changing the oil often enough,and or using a cheap oil both of which is oil that is more volatile ,meaning it evaperates quicker.Use a good quality full synthetic oil which is a lot less volatile,and change it at 6000 miles.I have been a certified mechanic for 45 years, and work on newer cars daily. i forgot to mention, that if you suspect that you excessive carbon build up on the valves thats affecting engine preformance,there is a spray kit you can buy for under $20 that you spray into the intake manafold 2 or 3 different times while its running ,that has been proven to dissolve most of the carbon build up to a point its not a problem any more.
or just run a tank of E85 everyonce in awhile. if flex fuel of course
22 bucks on Amazon for nice one.
They work, people are just lazy to just all and empty them 😊
Absolutely unnecessary for your direct injection engine. All you need is a good synthetic oil with a good synthetic media oil filter. I’ve got a 2011 f150 3.5 ecoboost with 465,000 miles on it with no catch can. I’ve never had any valve issues, zero turbo issues. You do get a little better performance with a catch can but 99% of drivers can care less. When properly installed there’s some benefit and it’s your vehicle, do A’s you please but it’s not a necessity.
How does synthetic oil help with oil vapor coating the intake valves?
@@DrivenWildOutdoors it’s not the oil that cooks on the back side of the valves it’s the 40 micron carbon contaminates that cause the coking issue. The oil vapor will burn in the combustion process.
@@stephenbloom2545 Exactly. I was sold on Synthetic oil back when I had a Suzuki Katana that had air/ Oil cooling . At an oil change with regular oil, there was tons of build up on the head under the valve covers when I would check valve clearance. With Synthetic , Zero Coked oil. That and my Dad had a Piper Cherokee and the FAA extended mandatory tear downs if you ran synthetic. I see the same results in my Harley.
He got this product free so of course he’s stands behind this product 😅
@@drew5992 if you’re saying that about me that’s not true I pay for everything. I’m not a dealer I’m just sharing my experience.
Not really impressed ! In my opinion you're just ADVERTISING a product and getting a few grands as commission ! Good old Ford Motors have NEVER advised to put such a space taking gadget !
Not selling them or getting a commission, lol
I believe in the product because it works. Don’t use one a DGI engine and let me know how it runs in 80k miles.
Unsubstanciated, bogus claims. Not impressed ? DON'T BUY ONE !
Broncos suck but interesting info about catch cans, not sure I'd buy a product from people who drive fords
Thanks for watching the video
That’s insightful.
