Very helpful advice, Brett. Having just recently myself invested in a Triton, I'm re-learning about diesel engines after 30 years and getting to know all the new tech. Plus, the delivery of information is far better these days with access to videos on RUclips. Tremendous help! Thankyou all so much.
I must say Brett that this has been very informative as I am in the process this week of have upgrades done to my 2016 Ford Everest with 43K kms on the clock.I was suprised at the amount of soot build up in the manifold for such low kms. Articulate and concise no BS and in layman terms . Appreciated . 👍
Very clear and informative, many thanks. It is refreshing to have someone who knows what they are doing share a high quality video. Keep up the good work.
It also coats the intake valves and, because of the heat, it gets baked on and builds up and restricts the air flow into the cylinder. Free air flow is critical for any engine but specially for diesels.
The explanation is correct and very good the way of the explanation on the difference between petrol and Diesel engines turbo and not turbo. I think the engine you are standing by is 4n15 from Mitsubishi
The underside of my fairlane was coated with oil from the straight vent hose just hanging down by the suspension so i made a catch can out of pvc pipe. It had a 1 inch drain valve under the front bumper. I had to remember to drain it off every 300kms and pour it back into the sump. The carparks of 7/11s across thailand often featured a little puddle of oil from the drain off valve after emptying. Eventually after a couple of years i got pissed off with grovelling under the car so i put my boot right into it on a 950km run..... we got 935kms before no.3 rod popped out to say hello! .....just waiting for another isuzu 4jh1 engine to arrive from japan and the next catch tank will auto drain to the sump.
It’s pretty working on my 1gdftv diesel motor, I ‘be bought new one on 10 kilos on clock and I have cleaned at 10000 kilometres, my catch can was collected full of dirty grease oil combine with some water inside that engine.
I have a Mitsubishi 3rd Gen Montero Sport (called Pajero Sport in some countries) which I believe is built on the same chassis and has the same engine as the latest Strada (Triton) shown in this video. I heard that the fittings on the OCC for the hoses should match the size of the current OEM hose. What OCC would you then recommend for this specific setup other than the one shown in the video?
Hey Brett. I live in Toronto Ontario Canada. I have a ecodiesel 2016 ram 1500. Just had the EGR replaced as well the intake manifold. The manifold has the butterfly filled with soot and caused the actuator gear to crack. Due to the emissions I have to leave the EGR on the engine. What’s your recommendation to stop the oil blow by. Is there a kit for this engine specifically?? I have 147000kms on it. Please advise. Thank. By the way excellent video.
Excellent explanation, I have a 4m41 Mitsubishi Shogun DiD with over 200,000kms, has been dripping small amounts of oil from the Throttle body whenever the engine runs, so would say I'd have to top up about half a litre after 1000kms or so. However the curious thing is the power is still very much intact, does smoke but clears as it moves. Exhaust manifold is also clogged with carbon. Will be looking for a catch can even more so after this video, once again thanks very much.
And what’s your suggest for the toyota 1KD-FTV engine on toyota prado or fortuner on some country? Do i need the catch can? I was wondering what is the difference between oil catch can and oil catch tank?
Im having issues with my Mitsubishi pajero TD. I had to cut the inlet hose and run it through the bottom of the engine bay so it can release the oil outside. Makes a huge mess outside but hopefully this catch can helps
Be nice if you could get a pressure differential sensor across your catch can just in case you forget to drain it or it prematurely clogs or restricts for whatever reason.
Hi, Bret. I’ve got a Jeep Grande Cherokee 3ltr Diesel 2018. It’s very tight under the bonnet for space have you ever installed a Provent or a Ryco catch can in a vehicle like mine. Some Jeep owners have suggested they have done it,but I don’t know where?
Additionally you can install a Trottle body low pressure injector. The fuel pump delivering fuel from the fuel tank on a gdi has approximately 4-5 bar of pressure, so you can split the fuel line and send it to a throttle body injector. Then you could connect it to one of the electrical lines of one of the injectors on the car. This way it will spray into the manifold and clean the valves. But that can affect the mixture so the computer will compensate and send less fuel but it may not run properly so you need a switch to turn it off after a short time. It’s equivalent to cleaning the valves using a spray except you can do it much easier and more frequently. This needs to be done buy a modification specialist and it’s only an idea of what can be improved. But maybe it’s better to start with the OCC and spray maintenance then after say 7 years install this.
G'day, just viewed this video, excellent! There is a 2001 Prado T/diesel on my 'horizon', hence the interest. I've been driving a 1990 Volvo 240 for over ten years on extensive outback trips on dirt roads and some tracks. It is fitted with an oil separator box which drains the collected oil into the engine sump, this is a 'red block' engine with over 300k on the dial and imperceptible oil consumption. With the current oil catch cans why not drain the collected oil to the engine sump? Thank you. Stephen C.
Hi. What catch can should I use for my c class w204. Engine is a 3.0 v6 diesel commomrail with a turbo charger. Engine code is om642. Thank you in advance.
Hi Guys! I instaled an oil catch can on a ford Powerstroke 6.4 because there was oil on the intercooler. But i think after installation it started to burn oil through the exhaust. Does that makes any sense? Maybe too low pressure on the circuit and doesn’t goes through the turbo so it gets burned? Its usually at low rpm, when i am on the highway up a hill or flat its fine. But after traffic or iddle for a while it smokes at low and high rpm for a bit and then nothing, it looks like clears wherever its stuck?
Thinking a lot of GDI engines suffer from the Carbone's up intakes believe from the PCV valve system. Do we have to fit catch cans, or can it just be vented direct atmosphere by running a longer pipe to the underside of car.
When fitting a oill catch can` does it also have a regulater on it so the Air intake and crank case pressure gets regulated,as the gasses can build up pressure, Or is that only for the catch can trap that allows oil to drips back into the sump
I blanked my egr with 2 plates via cooler..can I put the egr back to normal by installing a OCC on my 4d56 Montero GLX 2015 to eliminate gunk build up in intake manifold.
I have a small leak coming off my turbo in my d40 navara. 2014. The turbo is performing fine no loss of power etc. Can this catch can assist in containing the oil that is leaking?
QUESTION,totally out there but please look up Peugeot 207 1.6 hdi and please help on where would be best place for a catch can and how to make it automatic empty..you seem to know what yr talking about.? Surely a catch can would help with uk emissions laws..cheers lftyr..
Have brought a catch can for my Ute with 27,000 on it. Was going to install it and EGR plate but have read not to do ANY EGR delete with it has a dpf. What’s your thoughts on this? Ide rather get rid of EGR crap if I can
I knew all this but watched anyway. Well explained, well done. I would suggest using only group 4/5 engine oils for even better blowby control in a mechanically sound engine, use of a catch can and EGR delete if possible. My D22 ZD30 Diesel Navara at 200K has minimal blowby, i must be doing something right😎
Danke super erklärt habe 👍 vielleicht habt ihr auch auf meine Frage eine Antwort??? es geht um den zwei Liter TDI..Macht es da Sinn eine Öl catch can zu montieren? Bitte um eine detaillierte Antwort. Danke schön
Is there a filter in the catch can and you need to start the truck and show the vaper coming out of the engine and people need to start using a oil the better then a 5w30 in a diesel car or truck Especially if you live in a hot climate
Is any of this "circumventing" of the emissions control systems actually legal though? Surely there is an adverse effect on the engine emissions of vehicles that have had these alterations?
I have a Ford Ranger/BT 50 2.5 Year 2008 that looks lije this "rocket cover breather system" does it mean the have no PCV valve? Ive got come oil in the turbo intake and I think its coming from the hose form de breather that goes in the air system
What if the turbo is damaged and throwing oils in to intercooler which eventually goes in to combustion chamber through intake manifold ?Turbo dies slow death and by the time you know enough oil is already on intake valve.
I used an 'ebay' special catch can with a HD scotchbrite pad as an internal filter/baffle in my 4m40 delica fittings and hoses about $50 DIY. I also did an EGR blanking plate kit. cleaned the intercooler/manifold and cleaned the back of the inlet valves which were all gundged up...runs great but my engine does not appear to have major blowby issues.
Hi Matt, always interested in your diesel videos as I have a XV diesel. Do you know of any problems with oil pooling in the intercooler which then gets slurped into the engine, causing an over revving problem?
Cheers, I know about runaway diesel engines. Nightmare. What happened to a friend, in his diesel XV, was that he braked approaching a junction, dipped the clutch and the revs went through the roof damaging the engine. Subaru dealership blamed him for changing down and overrevving the engine, but I find that difficult to believe.

Can’t get any better then that. Explained plan and simple for anyone to understand. Good work
Extremely well explained. Sounds like i need one for my 7.3 powerstroke.
Mate another great educational vid. Amazing you can do all this in one take, shows your knowledge of these systems.
Very clear and informative, many thanks. It is refreshing to have someone who knows what they are doing share a high quality video. Keep up the good work.
Very formative, I finally understand now what an oil catch can does.
it... catches oil
Awesome explanation, really enjoy watching your videos and hearing your thoughts.
It also coats the intake valves and, because of the heat, it gets baked on and builds up and restricts the air flow into the cylinder. Free air flow is critical for any engine but specially for diesels.
Thanks. Nailed it. Not the catch can. Great work on explaining. Confirmed my experimental notes. Now break pads.
The explanation is correct and very good the way of the explanation on the difference between petrol and Diesel engines turbo and not turbo. I think the engine you are standing by is 4n15 from Mitsubishi
Great explanation and concisely presentation! Thanks for making this!
Great pointers ,well done.
Great explanation, crystal clear!
Great video. It’s my first diesel so this is very helpful.
So good to listen to. Clear precise info well spoken word Many thanks
Brilliant teacher indeed.
Well explained. When you put the filter in. Do you just sit it in the hole. Or push it all the way in. As i am unsure what to do. Cheers

great video, know is a Breather Tank better than catch can and aplicable as well for triton? do we need to install a valve for negative pressure?
The best simplest explain action:-) thanks
Would this work on a 2.8 diesel 2016 GMC Canyon
Thanks Brett
Very informative, now I know what I need on my KUN26R

The best educational video about catch cans out there. Thanks.
Great video, looking at this for my Mq Triton
Provent make a custom fitted one..
Autobarn sell them. Check out the website at Directionplus.com.au
Nice one thanks. If you haven't alredy, do one on fuel pre-filters please.
What model or type of catch can can I use for a 4m40
Can you figure out how to put one on a ram 2500 6.4 hemi , everyone says you can't.
Excellent explanation, thank you. 👍
Does the sizes of inlet and outlet of catch can matters? My OCC inlet is 15mm with 10mm outlet.
Is there any benefit on a Subaru diesel?
Be nice if you could get a pressure differential sensor across your catch can just in case you forget to drain it or it prematurely clogs or restricts for whatever reason.
Well explained, thanks !!
Great information 👍👌
How did You bend that hoses?

Some of that oil the catch can collects can be very dirty and even have some water.
Very informative!! Thank you.
Are the ProVent catch can better than the TerraTuff? I am thinking of getting one for my Mitsubishi Triton MR. Please, any advice?
Great video. Can you fit dual catch cans? Would that help or work?
Hi. What catch can should I use for my c class w204. Engine is a 3.0 v6 diesel commomrail with a turbo charger. Engine code is om642. Thank you in advance.
Probably the best video on you tube.
Awesome, loved it. Thankyou

Hello, Would you recommend an Oil Catch cabin for a Toyota Hilux Vigo 2009 model?
How big of a catch can did you put in this engine?
When fitting a oill catch can` does it also have a regulater on it so the Air intake and crank case pressure gets regulated,as the gasses can build up pressure,
Or is that only for the catch can trap that allows oil to drips back into the sump
good explanation
Where tp buy thos catch can and hose for same engine. Though for pajero sport. Thanks
Good information man
thoughts about catch can with vent out setup?
Do you ship to USA?
After watching your video I might install OCC on my 2017 Pajero/Montero sport A/T. Kindly advise. Thanks and more power.
What more advice do you need?

Another great informative video. Thanks Brett.
Thanks for explanation 👍
Is it okay to vent the occ outlet to air?not back to turbo inlet?will it cause issues?
Have brought a catch can for my Ute with 27,000 on it. Was going to install it and EGR plate but have read not to do ANY EGR delete with it has a dpf. What’s your thoughts on this? Ide rather get rid of EGR crap if I can
What's a good brand of occ for 4n15 triton?
How does this fitment and tune affect the new car warranty?
I knew all this but watched anyway. Well explained, well done.

Do you sell these catch cans? Where can I buy?
Good video
Is there a filter in the catch can and you need to start the truck and show the vaper coming out of the engine and people need to start using a oil the better then a 5w30 in a diesel car or truck Especially if you live in a hot climate

Can I just vent the catch can to atmosphere instead of rerouting it to intake manifold ?
Thanks, good info! 😎👍

Thank you for the video. Do you have a catch can size you would recommend for a Chevy Colorado 2.8L duramax diesel?
No. There's none. Just get a standard one. All you need is 2 hoes and a few clamps. Easy installation.
Provent 200
I block the other side using rubber end caps (tube in turbo)
Hello I have a Cadillac xts vsport 33k what catch can is best for this vehicle?
BIG..
hello, can I install the catch can and delete the EGR?
For gas engines, a lot of blow by in your intake with lower the effective octane in the combustion chamber.
What catch can would you recommend for a LB7 2002 Duramax?
Provent 200
What if the turbo is damaged and throwing oils in to intercooler which eventually goes in to combustion chamber through intake manifold ?Turbo dies slow death and by the time you know enough oil is already on intake valve.
What is the make of the catch can you are installing in that Mitsi?
its on top of the can.!!!.bigger the better.with a filter,breather.regardless of make,all do the same job..
Is an oil catch can recommended for a Ford Ranger XLT bi-turbo (2019)?
I would put one on it...
top notch video

Hi Matt, always interested in your diesel videos as I have a XV diesel.
Do you know of any problems with oil pooling in the intercooler which then gets slurped into the engine, causing an over revving problem?
Its called running on or running away and you can usually say bye bye engine if it does
Bad turbo seals will cause runaway
Cheers, I know about runaway diesel engines. Nightmare.
What happened to a friend, in his diesel XV, was that he braked approaching a junction, dipped the clutch and the revs went through the roof damaging the engine.
Subaru dealership blamed him for changing down and overrevving the engine, but I find that difficult to believe.
