What is an Oil Catch Can?

An oil catch can is a simple yet highly effective component installed in the engine’s ventilation system to prevent intake oil contamination. It captures the oil vapours, carbon, and other contaminants from the crankcase that would otherwise enter the intake manifold. By doing so, it helps prevent carbon buildup and keeps the engine running cleaner and more efficiently.

At Intake Cleaning, we specialise in installing high-quality oil catch cans to improve your engine’s longevity, enhance performance, and reduce wear over time.

Benefits

  • Prevent Carbon Buildup in the Intake System
    Oil vapours are a natural byproduct of engine operation, but when they travel into the intake manifold, they can leave behind carbon deposits. Over time, these deposits accumulate, leading to reduced engine efficiency and performance. An oil catch can traps these vapours, preventing them from entering the intake and causing carbon buildup.
  • Improved Engine Ventilation
    The engine breather system helps maintain optimal airflow and pressure within the engine. By installing an oil catch can, you’re enhancing the ventilation system, allowing for better circulation and preventing harmful contaminants from entering sensitive components like the intake valves and combustion chambers.
  • Reduced Intake Oil Contamination
    Without an oil catch can, oil vapour from the crankcase can condense in the intake manifold, forming sticky residues that clog up the intake system. This can cause poor fuel efficiency, increased exhaust emissions, and overall engine performance loss. With an oil catch can in place, you can reduce intake oil contamination, keeping your engine running smoothly.
  • Minimised Engine Wear
    An oil catch can helps protect your engine from the buildup of harmful substances by preventing them from circulating through the system. By keeping the intake system free of contaminants, it helps minimize engine wear, ultimately extending the life of your engine and reducing the need for costly repairs.
  • Environmental Benefits
    By reducing carbon buildup and improving fuel efficiency, oil catch cans contribute to lower emissions, making your vehicle more environmentally friendly. This is especially important for performance vehicles or engines that produce higher amounts of vapour and contaminants.

How Does an Oil Catch Can Work?

The oil catch can is installed between the engine’s crankcase ventilation system and intake system. The system works as follows:

  • Capturing Oil Vapours: As the engine operates, it produces oil vapours, which are drawn from the crankcase and directed towards the intake system. The oil catch can intercepts these vapours.
  • Separation Process: Inside the catch can, the oil vapours condense and are separated from the air and fuel mixture. The trapped oil and contaminants are stored in the can, while the cleaned air is redirected back into the intake system.
  • Maintaining Engine Health: By preventing the oil vapours from entering the intake manifold, the oil catch can helps maintain cleaner air intake, reducing the chances of carbon build-up and engine wear.

When Should You Install an Oil Catch Can?

Installing an oil catch can is especially beneficial if:

  • You own a performance vehicle or a car with high engine output.
  • Your vehicle is equipped with a direct injection system (GDI) or a turbocharged engine, which is more prone to carbon buildup.
  • Your CRD Common Rail Diesel vehicle. Diesel engines naturally produce more crankcase pressure due to the higher compression ratio.
  • You are looking to boost fuel economy and prevent common engine problems caused by oil vapours in the intake system.
