I recently installed a catch can on my 5th gen 4Runner and I checked after about 100 miles and was surprised the amount of oil in there already, definitely a worthwhile investment. Thanks for showing the update
Hi could you explain, why you need to install Engine Oil Separators. if the engine is not turbocharged ? and if the car is new 2022 year ? is it still better to put it?
I have a 2020 TRD offroad tacoma. I put a catch can on it when it had 50 miles on it. Now the truck has 14,500 miles and I checked the can at 10,000 miles the first time. It had about 10 mL in it. One tip is to run an oil in the engine with a Noack volatility as close to 7% as possible. The higher the Noack volatility, the higher the evaporation loss of your oil. I use Ravenol ECS 0w20 mostly. I've also used Royal Purple HPS 5w20 and Amsoil OE 0w20 and 5w20
These 3.5 motors are designed to burn off pvc blow by in the heads The only reason catch cans got popular is from drag racing to increase octane and in my experience a little oil in the gas never hurt anyone a little lube in the cylinders is fine but when you have serious blow by you can greatly reduce pinging and reduce fouling plugs this was its intended purpose when the first v8 came out there was no pvc the crank case vacuum just dumped down a pipe in front of the motor into the air and it wasn’t pleasant sitting at idle smelling it and the engine bays used to be covered in oil and grime unless you are racing at high rpm especially in a 16v V8 I used to get about 6 ounces every 1500 miles and I would reroute it in the valve cover no need to change it
@@jimcatanzaro7808 I agree they are designed to do so but my catch can still holds some junk and it's no big deal to dump it. If it helps the engine any I'm ok with it
@@Accuracy1st it’s honestly a waste of time and money for any output its like most cold air intakes you can actually lose power with it because it’s not tuned for it
I think your location of catch can is a little to be desired. But, where else you gonna put it? Mine is easy access. I check mine after the truck sits for awhile or in the morning. It’s a good investment if your keeping your Tacoma. It’s thanks to you, I installed it in the first place! So thank you B.
Hi there I got a suggestion. Instead of unscrewing the can you can buy a large syringe that comes with a flex tube on ebay for cheap I got a 300 ml one that came with the flexible tube. You can put the tube in the oil dipstick opening and just use the syringe to suck the oil out. Just make sure you cut the end of the tube though, because it just has a small, almost pinhole size hole at the end of tube. It works great.
Great channel! Appreciate the content! On the topic of oil, have you ever had the Gen 2 oil leak coming from the timing cover area? Don’t stop posting!
You would collect more if you put some stainless media in the can so the vapors collect in the can I tested this on my other truck This motor won’t leave much oil do to the Atkinson burn cycle in the 3.5
Extended engine wear by decreasing sludge build up. Mainly on the valve train. The great debate is carbon build up on the piston. Toyota has that wired down to a minimum already by the plug placement.
There wasn't alot of blow by oil collected because the can is intended for forced induction engines. Not sure why you would install a catch can on a normally aspirated engine, waste of time, and money in my opinion, plus takes up more space, and retains more heat in the engine bay. U done gone "Mod" mad brauh....🙄
Most of it will be vaporized, and exhausted. Im sure all of the research and design engineers, thru thousands of hours high demand testing, have concluded that it isnt a utile, or needed piece of equipment in a NA engine. Personally, in my 400hp Supercharged 4.0, I dont even get an inch of blow by in my CC reservoir. MOD away brother...!!
@@donnieraines2066 i mean i would think, i see at least three offroads video were the tacomas engine blew out either because too much oil goin in the motor or oil starvation🥴
