Installed ADD W1 Oil Catch Can

ic3man5 · February 23, 2016

Curious why you put the check valve on the supply side. I have the dual exit can so I put one on each exit hose and thought about putting one one the supply line next to the exit on the engine to keep anything that was in the hose from going back into the engine. People told me not to worry about. I'm not saying your wrong I was just curious when I saw you picture.

I put it on the wrong side as their instructions were somewhat lacking and it made sense to me at the time. Its not in that location anymore.

I got mine in the mail this afternoon. I'm actually really impressed with the product. In an attempt to keep the hoses short and not worry about the hissing noise, I'm planning on fabbing up a simple bracket off the master cylinder like the RX can uses. Hope to get to it on Friday afternoon/evening.

Found some time this afternoon to knock it out. Longest part of the install was making a bracket. 1400 miles on truck. Almost zero oil in manifold or throttle body.

Sounds like you have it reversed. Outlet on can goes to right side of engine. Edited April 4, 2016 by martha3065

Your right that people have it both ways - I believe under the throttle body goes to can inlet

ADD W-1 catch can parts, I looked into ordering parts from McMaster-Carr, the stainless screens part#2930T24 and replacement orings

part#9464K142.

It looks as though they cancelled my order "due to the complexity of export regulations"

so much for US/Canada free trade!

Just picked up a Version 1, black on Ebay tonight. Cheapest I could find. What size mesh screens did you guys get from McMaster Carr? They make them in 304 and 316 SST. I plan on using some leftover 3/8" transmission hose I have from Napa. I want to mount it as close as possible to the engine. I'm thinking firewall or brake booster area. Any long term updates on this product's quality? What is the Oz/1k miles people are catching?

Not that I'm a huge tree huger, but what is everyone doing with fluid from there catch can? I've been saving mine in a jug, but l'll need to dispose of it eventually.

^The same thing I do with the 8+ quarts I drain out of it at every oil change. Same thing I do with the 6qts I drain out of my wife's Enclave and the same thing I do with the 5qty out of my 89 blazer. Pour it into my 5 gallon used motor oil container and take it to Autozone and dump into their recycle tank. Advance has it also, most parts stores have a oil bin in the back they let you dump into. I agree that people should not just be dumping all this oil willy nilly. Probably why it's illegal for car makers to install something like this to begin with. Most commoners would probably dump while pumping gas.
