Thank you ma'am! That's the motivation behind Viosified :)

Thank you! I appreciate your comment.

You're welcome. Visit often for more tutorials. Thanks for watching :)

Yes. Thanks!

Yes & thank you!

Thank you! Have a good one.

Thank you for the comment and suggestion sir :)

I bought the steel wool separately. Thanks for watching!

One whole (good quality) steel wool was inserted into the main "cup" (the lower portion of the catch can) as shown in the video. May I know what "little thing" you're referring to, sir?

@@Viosified It’s called a Baffles

@@julianperez-robles6921 you can trim it down to size if you like to put it inside the baffles. In the video, I chose to put one whole steel wool inside the main can to increase the surface area.

I agree, engine design can be an issue in set ups like this

@@Viosifiedyes its quite annoying, i think the catch can will still help my engine out quite alot, because its picking up alot of the moisture and oil mix that used to end up going into my throttle body

3/8" internal diameter. It should be about the same size of the internal diameter of your PCV valve hose. The hose should not collapse under vacuum pressure and should fit the neck of the PCV valve snugly. Make sure there's no vacuum leaks.

Thank you for your detailed video. I’ll be trying a similar setup on my car thanks to your clear instructions. Could you tell me what type of hose you used and where I can purchase one?

It's a 3/8" vacuum hose. You can buy one from most automotive shops or automotive hose suppliers. Thanks for watching.

@@Viosifiedawesome, thanks so much 👍

Pwede rin po yun sir. Hindi naman po sya makaka-damage sa hose ng ganun kabilis dahil mabilis din po mag evaporate yung cleaner; at mas resistant po sa corrosion yung hose kesa sa clearcoat ng ating sasakyan. Salama din po.

Could you please clarify your question, sir?

Thank you for clarifying your question sir. Yes, following your PMS schedules will keep your car in good shape and make it last a long time. I highly recommend it. To answer your question on why a catch can was not included in the design of the engine (this is just my humble opinion): 1st, the engine will run without it. 2nd, it saves the manufacturer money by not including this in the engine. In the same way they can save money on using plastic parts in the engine even though they know that plastic can get brittle (and crack) from prolonged exposure to heat. To give you 2 examples of plastic parts on 2nzfe engines: thermostat housing and coolant filler inlet port sub-assembly. These plastic parts get brittle and break overtime because of heat and yet the engineers still used them even though they could have used metal instead of plastic (But hey, metal parts cost more than plastic, right?). So why? Simple. Vehicle manufacturers expect car owners to bring their cars to them for maintenence and repairs, and they earn a lot of money from it by selling spare parts and services. Service advisors also earn commissions by upselling parts and/or services that our cars don't really need. Remember, the manufacturer's business doesn't stop after selling you their car. They continue to earn money from it through regular scheduled PMS, repairs, or parts replacement sales. The engineers know that the engine will run without a Catch Can/Oil-air Separator because it is not a critical part of the engine. Besides, the negative effects won't show up until after running a few thousands of kilometers, anyway. So why bother? Engineers are smart, and they know that the vented crankcase oil vapors will eventually cause carbon build up in the intake port and valves, especially in GDI engines. But they also realize that huge profit can be made from car owners everytime parts breakdown and have to be replaced or cleaned. Ever heard of PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE? So what do most car owners do when engine problems start showing up? They bring their vehicles to the dealership for repairs or parts replacement and they end up paying a hefty amount just to get their car fixed. At any rate, it's good business for car makers and sellers.

Yung sa pag set-up po ba ng catch can? Possible po pero hindi sya kasing efficient ng set-up na walang breather. Pag po kasi nilagyan ng breather kailangan isara yung intake hole para walang vacuum leak, at isang disadvantage din po ng may breather ay air pollution dahil derecho ang buga ng harmful gases sa atmosphere sa halip na i-recirculate sa combustion chamber yung gases na galing sa crankcase para ma-filter muna ng catalytic converter bago ilabas sa tambucho.

Tuwing mag oil change po ako, chine-check at dine-drain ko na din po ang catch can. Sabay inspect na din sa mga hoses and clamps for proper seal/fitting.

Hi sir. A similar question was asked and answered on a separate video under the same title which I deleted by mistake 😭 So I had to re-upload this video. Anyway, I agree. There are mixed stories about catch cans. As with any part, an Oil Catch Can (or Oil-air Separator ) can fail especially if it is not inspected and cleaned regularly or when it is improperly installed. The canister or hoses can degrade and cause vacuum leaks. Hoses can get clogged with sludge or a foreign object. Anything that obstructs the flow of vented gases from the crankcase through the catch can would cause the same issues as a clogged PCV valve would. Problems such as: sludge formation, excessive crankcase pressure, oil leaks, dipstick blow-by, increased oil consumption, premature engine wear, etc., can occur. These are the same symptoms of a clogged PCV valve. This is why Oil Catch Cans should be inspected and cleaned regularly to ensure that the hoses, connectors and canister are not damaged and obstructed with sludge, or that it is not overfilling with vented oil. It's a good practice to clean the PCV valve as well everytime you clean the Oil Catch Can and hoses to prevent potential problems. If you maintain your Catch Can properly, it can help reduce the amount of fuel-oil vapors entering the intake manifold which contributes to gunk accumulation in the intake port. In addition, you can watch my video on PCV Valve cleaning which lists symptoms of a clogged PCV system. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g6mJl6t5t5fIqJs.html The same principles apply to Catch Cans. Hope this helps. Thanks for subscribing :)

@@Viosified Thank u for the response. Well explained.

Hi sir 😊 Nag tanong tanong po ako sa auto supply ng vacuum hose kaso naubusan daw sila ng stock, pero naka tyempo po ako nung thermal resistant multipurpose hose na pang powersteering sa tindahan ng mga hydraulic hoses. 15 inches po binili ko pero sobra pa naman sya kung dun ikakabit kagaya sa video. Nagpasobra lang ako ng onti :) Dinala ko po yung connector na halos ka size ng nozzle nung PCV valve para masukat. Good luck sir 😊👍

@@Viosified Thank you so much sir. 👍

Welcome sir, keep safe 😊

@@Viosified Sir mahal po ba ang power steering hose? how much po kaya ang 15 inch lenght? thank you po.

P150 po binayad ko dun sa 15 in. hose (sya lang po kasi bukas na seller ng hydraulic hose that time kaya po medyo mahal price nya) baka mas less pa po yun sa iba. Yung vacuum hose naman po ay P50 - P80 per foot sabi sa auto supply na napagtanungan ko, kaso naubusan daw po sila ng size na kasya sa connector na dala ko.

Yup. That's exactly the reason why I chose to use zip ties for my set up. Zip ties make it easier for me to simply cut them off when I need to clean the catch can every 2 - 3 months and replace them with new ones. But that's just me. Choose what works best for you. "Why not teflon the dip stick thread?" - Because they get shredded everytime I pull out the dip stick and I don't want pieces of teflon getting sucked into the engine. 🙂

@@Viosifiedwith no teflon, the air will leak from that dip stick thread

@vincentlee2460 mine doesnt do that. It has a rubber O-ring to prevent air leaks.

​@@Viosifiedso the dip stick has an o ring ?

@@vincentlee2460 yup. I added an O-ring at the base of the threaded part to form a seal & prevent unmetered air from entering the engine. It's better than teflon.

Hi sir. Depending on which size you'd like to use, the Catch Can kit comes with 3/8 to 9/16 hose adapters/connectors. But to be sure, you can bring the smallest hose adapter (which has the same size as the PCV valve nozzle) with you when you buy a hose so you can test if the connector fits the hose. That is what I did when I bought the hose I used for my set up. Thanks :)

@@Viosified alright, got it. Salamat

Welcome sir. Salamat din po.

I hope you could find a seller online :)

@@Viosified finally found 2 online shop with different keyword.. hehe, but i've some question.. 1. is ther any risk when you placed the steel wool in the oil catcher tank 4:30 that possible to scattered or broken & sucked into the engine? 2. what is the difference (good or bad things) to the engine when using closed oil-air separator setup than open oil catcher 6:24?

1) Yes there is a small chance that could happen if you use an old, rusty or poorly made steel wool. So you have to make sure that you only use a good quality, non-rusty, unused, unfrayed steel wool for this project. 2) disadvantage of the open system is that it vents harmful fumes directly to the environment which contributes to pollution, and it is not as efficient in venting the hydrocarbon fumes from the crankcase because it is passive, meaning it has no "vacuum assist" generated by the engine. In the closed system, hydrocarbon fumes/gases flow quicker because they are sucked by the engine into the cylinders for recycling and filtered by the catalytic converter before exiting the exhaust system.

@@Viosified clear & thank you for your clear lessons & explanation once again.. hahaha honestly i am a nubie related for car maintenance.. i've already make a wishlist from one of online shop.. but don't know when to have & install it.. but thx once again

@@harjunasabathino3255 You're welcome. Good luck! :)

Because venting crankcase gasses directly to the atmosphere contributes to air pollution. Whereas, recirculating them through the engine allows them to pass through the catalytic converter in the exhaust manifold which acts as filter or buffer to help minimize toxicity.

Why not make your own video and show us how it's supposed to be done? It's been that way eversince without any issues, that is, until you made a big deal out of it.
