Isuzu MU-X & D-MAX Provent 200 Catch Can Install - Catch Cans 101 - DIY 

Hi Guys! Here's the link to the Western Filters Provent 200 Kit! amzn.to/3skTSoj Cheers :)

Nick, that’s the best description on how to fit a catch-can, so far. I’ve had a HPD fitted by a mechanic years ago and I wasn’t quite sure if the hoses were on the correct way. After watching your video I was relieved to see they are correct, thank you. Cheers.

Nick, I'm no mechanic but thanks to your great videos I easily installed the Provent and intercooler hard pipes today. Thanks for all of your efforts with your channel!

I put one in today it took about 15 minutes thanks to your video.

Pleased I found this video, just purchased a used MU-X and have been made aware by mates that I need to fit a catch can. Have ordered a Provent Kit, but this explained how it all works and is fitted. Thank you.

Hi Nick ,just watched your great video and ordered catch can you have on line now. I haven't even got the dmax yet but take delivery end of this month new. Being from the motor trade long ago I'm big on oil changes and preventative maintenance. I've seen all your videos and enjoyed very much. Keep the good info on the Isusu up ! Cheers

G’day Nick, I’m so glad that I found your channel cos I just bought a D- Max a month ago and it’s good to learn about it especially since I’ve never owned a Diesel before.

Nice video Nick. Just installed my catch can today and your clear instructions made the job a breeze 👌

Nick. I received my Provent - 25 and have finally fitted it.Well although the Dmax 2015 & 2017 look similar under the bonnet heres what is the difference Pre & Post DPF. They have changed contour of one brake line from ABS controller. The air cleaners look similar but are different. The air intake to the Turbo is slightly different and the PCV inlet is in a slightly different spot to the turbo from the air box. The Maf sensor wiring to the air box runs differently. Catch can is now fitted and looks good and works fine and can change my fuel filter easily although be warned it is a tight fit..Heres what I modified to fit.A brake line I had to gently bend towards the firewall slightly. Cut of a small plastic lug on the air box which held a clip for MAF wiring ( No biggy) to fit the bracket and can in place.A small adjustment to the bracket when in place for clearance for the can.The hose from the breather to the top of the can fits OK. The cans bottom hose to the turbo inlet pipe I used the old PCV hose ( Left it on the turbo inlet) and a piece of 5/8 copper tube to join it to the new bottom hose from the catch can. Make sure the catch can and bracket dont touch or rub on the brake reservoir. I must admit for a while I thought I had bitten off more than I could chew and had blown$320.. But I am happy with the end result. By the way Nick where you looped the drain hose back with a cable tie and cut it to emptyI I was able to run mine on and the tap now sits just below my RH fog light inside the bumper and I just reach inside the bumper and pull it out and it s protected as well..Cheers

Hi nick. This is shiva from India 🇮🇳. Have been seeing ur videos from 2 years. They r really good. Bought an mux in 2019. Most of the mods u do are illegal in my country. Bull bar is not even possible here. Can’t upgrade the lights as well. But I still have done few mods like u. I got the hike it and it’s awesome. Thanks for that. Installed a pair of light force xgts as well which r still illegal. After an year of research and struggling, I managed to get the provent 200 4 catch can. But couldn’t get the hoses or the installation bracket. If u can provide me the specifications of the bracket, it would be helpful. I’ll fabricate the bracket myself. Thanks man. Tc

Bro, awesome simple clear instructions, I feel confident enough to fit the catch can unit to my 2018 Isuzu MUX! Then I’ll follow your other video instructions how to do the carbon clean on the diesel intake unit!🙌

Have ran a Provent 200 on my 3.0L BT50 for 6 years now. They are a solid unit and compared to alot of the others out there they do a really good job of catching that oil mist. So you definitely won't be disappointed with your choice. Recently got the wife a MUX and was going to put a Provent on it also as the one on the ute has worked flawlessly. Then found that Isuzu do a genuine catch can for there NPR series trucks so grabbed one of them instead to compare. Really well built and only $115 for the unit and $15 for replacement filters as opposed to the provents $80 filter. Really keen to see how they compare side by side.

Nick I have a 2015 Dmax from new and have decided to fit a Provent 200 catchcan and the one for my pre DPF D Max is a Prov-26 where as yours with the DPF is the Prov-25 which mounts near the air filter out of the way of the factory fuel filter. I phoned Western Filters and asked the question if I could fit the Prov 25 and they werent sure but after watching your video and comparing the underbonnet factory bolt holes ( Mine are vacant) I am sure I can fit your Prov -25 kit which doesnt clutter up the fuel filter area. So thanks for your help. I will let you and the others how I get on when I have fitted it.

I have an aluminum one fitted. It requires to undo the bottom can to drain the oil. Not much room to move around. This Western Filters is so easy to drain. Will change to this brand. Thanks Nic for your recommendation.

awesome video! Just about to install mine, great vid for some of us who aren't mechanically minded.

Thanks Nick. That was an excellent description of the workings of the PCV system and the catch can!

I have provent fitted to both the 200 and the Ranger and think they are brilliant. Cheers Steve

Great vid Nick....fitted one to my 2019 D-max straight from the showroom....only done 6,000 k's so far but have already collected about 100 mls from it....can't believe they think it's ok to pump this sludge back into your motor....Gone are the days of the diesel engine lasting hundreds of thousands of kilometres anymore now that all this pollution crap is choking them up....I've also fitted a Munji EGR delete module to stop the EGR ever opening at all....motor runs perfectly and with the plug n play module I can remove it in seconds before any services and shows no codes that it was ever there....keep up the good work Nick....they've been extremely helpful especially with fitting my ARN Bullbar,,,,Cheers, Andrew

Thanks for the vid. Helped me to get on to do my own install. Only I have the 2016 DMAX with an existing secondary fuel filter, which meant a installation on the passenger side of the engine bay (using the western filters kit). Ended up being a pig of a job replacing fuel hoses and switching orientation of the fuel filter, but I got it done (the catch can part of the install was a piece of cake) and just got back from a trip where it all held together. Your other vids on installs have been really good to watch and helped get a feel of the vehicle.

Hey mate, just check your DPF hoses going to the pressure sensor aren’t rubbing against the hard brake line running down the inner guard, I fitted mine yesterday and found mine were touching it so I split some small lawn mower fuel hose and cable tied it to the hard line to prevent it from chaffing.

Great work & explanation with that video Nick, Its a nice install & piece of kit by the look of it. I did notice that the loop on the drain hose would not fill all the way as the accumulated oil would air-lock if you know what I mean. Not a big deal just pointing it out. I will work on getting one for my Penguin (105 Series) Land-cruiser. I like the way you present Nick & for a layman mechanic like me who wants to learn to do the work on my car, i really appreciate the efforts you go to to make it simple to follow. Watching you videos gives me the confidence to do the jobs myself, save money & know that it has been done correctly. CASE IN POINT - I’m not great with electrical stuff & went to an auto electrician last week who did not resolve my dash-lights issue, got the Penguin back home only to find that the plastics had been poorly aligned around the steering column & if that was not bad enough, they forced a self-tapping screw into where a machine threaded screw should go when they reassembled the dash & column.

Thanks for the video I just got my 2018 mux Last Friday and your videos so interesting thanks for the information I only have 30,000 km on mine and I think I will put a catch can on it. Thanks for the great videos keep up with the content.

Nice to see fellow dmaxers giving tips. Tqvm.

Opposite Lock quoted me $450 fitted... I might just go that way. Another great video, thanks Nick.

Hey Nick, lots of people saying the ProVent 200 is the way to go and Made in Germany pretty much seals the deal. However I also heard good things about the HPD catch can for the MUX. Have you seen any of those in action and how much oil they catch in comparison to the ProVent? Like you said, they sure do look fancy!! Cheers

Agree with other comments ! Great video & has prompted me to seriously consider this install. There's a lot of suggestions that these are a good idea, and seeing the ease of install & quality of kit has got me very keen to do this. I've got 16000km on my MU-X so good timing I think 👍

Hi another great video 👍. Question if the vehicle is still under warranty would it void the warranty for any reason

Another great video mate. Loving them! Any idea if Isuzu could use a catch can to void the warranty and also, could you link the provent kit? Legend!

Nick hope you do a video about intercooler cleaning in the Mux👍

Good one mate. I've been procrastinating for months but your vid has inspired me to get on with it 👍. Did you have much gunk in the intercooler intake hose?

Thanks Nick. Will definitely purchase one.

Awesome video. I just came across this one and thought I would look at it since I'm looking at buying a MU-X. Well explained, even for me that has no mechanical knowledge I could follow your video. Thanks

Thanks nick for the demo , just one thing mate , I have installed the exact same provent 200 to my mux , your kit had a pressure relief valve in top cap , my kit that I have just received from western filters November 20 has no valve at all .

Nice, we dont have these in the states, just 6in lifted supercharged 80s. well I do at least Lolol

I enjoy your videos very much as a hands on person! Clear and concise! Thanks to your vid I've purchased this kit and also the hikeit controller. By the way, would love it if you could show us how to do an EGR mod for the Mu-X :)

Just bought my Provent system and the bracket and pipes are completely different to what Nick has here. Strange, im not mechanically smart so Ive got my hands full now haha.

Very good info and great filming.Well done.

This is the first time I have seen this part in any form. Makes sense to me

Great video Nick. I have ordered a 2021 Dmax X Terrain with the 3.0 engine, is your engine the exact same as mine? Just want to make sure t sits in the same spot. I should be able to work it out anyway. I bought the kit from Western Filters too. Well made bracket.

Hey Nick thanks for your videos, I will be using a few of them for my own installs. I want to install a pre filter fuel kit to my Mu-X and already have a dual battery system installed in that area. Do you know of what the better products on the market are and the best way to install. Cheers mate

Thanks for the video bro It's really clear. I have a dmax that has just got it's service and it's has ran for a month now , the oil level is now below the minimum point. The intercooler is full of oil coming from the breathing hose through the turbo. What can be done before installing the catch can?

Hey thanks again Nick 👌 Great video and really helped with the install.... Finally got around to installing today & all went perfectly... Cheers 👍

Hi Nic you bloody Legend, Quick Q for ya mate, I've done 100,000k in my 17Mux no can installed. Feel like i should after watching this great video. Is it too late? Also is it possible to clean out the built up carbon in the intake by ourselfs or is a workshop job? My mechanic quoted $1000 to $1500.. cheers bud..

Hi Nick, thanks for this great video. just a quick question. I fitted Provent catch can on my MUX and the MUX feels very heavy now while driving. Any idea why?

Hey nick I recently installed a catch can on my 2015 dmax and since installing I’ve noticed a ‘thump’ noise when I start it up. Any ideas? I thought maybe added pressure from catch can causing throttle valve to open more aggressively? Car runs fine once started but thump noise every time I start car. Thanks let me know what you think!

Top video Nick as always. I've heard differing opinions as to the importance of these, and one lingering question is if these were detrimental to engine reliability and longevity, why don't vehicle manufacturers fit one as standard? Thanks

Hi Nick Great videos by the way! Just wondering your unit comes with auto headlight. Im just it can be installed but dont know where to purchase here locally.

Hey mate, great vid! What would be the best way to clean carbon build up if a catch can is not fitted within first 60k klm?

Hey mate im looking st removing my catch can from my dmax, its been on there for roughly 100k and cars done 110k just wondering is it safe to remove it now that its been on for so long? Am i better off leaving it on now? As always cheers for the videos mate.

I love your video, i always watching because my dream car is isuzu mux. Wish i have car like that

Great video, any idea if this affects warranty? Cheers

I’m running one of these on my DMAX, good investment.What are your thoughts using the Provent 200 catch can with a Munji EGR delete cable?.

Awesome vid thanks Nick. My Isuzu dealer told me no good for warranty. My 4jj1 is using a bit of oil. Have you heard any different?

The provent and the Ryco units are very very similar. I’ve noticed that the inlet and outlet are both are opposite despite the near same design (inlet is bottom on ryco and top of provent) Wonder which is more effective.

Gday Nick, I have a holden colorado 7 that has done 40,000 Kms. Is it still a good idea to install a catch can? Or what do you think i should do before installing it. Any tips would be great. Thanks mate. 🤗

This might be a stupid question, but does this mean the engine looses oil over time? I assume it does, but it’s such a small amount it wouldn’t matter as you’d do an oil change before it lost too much? Cheers

Nice clear video mate. Cheers 🍻

Hi Nick. Enjoying your videos and the options of modifications you are showing that are available for the Isuzu. I did buy a Catch Can but have not fitted as yet. I am interested in you lift size you went, did you do a GVM upgrade? Also have you installed bash plates?

Is the catch can of any benefit on a non DPF vehicle.( 2013 D MAX ) as ive been advised its NOT necessary on a non DPF vehicle.

Great video Nick, I’m having trouble removing the original DPD bracket. What sort of socket wrench did you use to remove the two factory bolts on the base? They seem to be in an awkward space to access for my inexpert hands.

Hey mate love the video, quick thing any rubbing on the brake lines and which kit was that? Thanks mate

Exceptional video nick.

Nice how to, explained clearly. Thank you.

Nice one, I DIY mine with 2" PVC and plugged my EGR's, A rear bumper sill would be functional too.

I’ve been waiting for this nick! Thanks heaps

Great video. I've had a catch can installed and a fuel manager installed as well. When changing the pre fuel filter what's the process for priming the fuel manager? I was told that it only takes about 10 mins max to change the filter element and nothing was said about priming . I have since been told that you need to prime after changing the element.

Hi mate. It it’s okay to install catch can in brand new MUX? Or maybe let it run first around 3000 kilometres before installing it? Thanks!

Hey Nick, Great install vid. Is there much difference between this Western Filters Provent Filter and a Direction Plus one? Besides this one being $150 cheaper.

Cheers for the video Nick. Have been following you for a month now since we brought our Mux. I find the videos very informative and keen to do some of your installs. Are there any warranty issues with Isuzu with the catch can and throttle controller as we have a 2019 model. Keep up the good work, cheers mate

How many kms did it take initially to start seeing oil in the drainage tube? I’ve done about 1200km with it on now and still bugger all in the drainage tube. Maybe that’s a good thing that my engine isn’t breathing too badly!

Absolutely loving the content thank you

Good video. Iv seen a couple ebay "provent" copy catchcan very cheap. Have you seen them or what do you think of them?

Greetings from Honduras, I left you a comment on Facebook, I have some questions, one is about oil catch can! I seeing some videos talking that broke there cars. And the other are on Facebook! Hope you answere.

Hi Nick enjoy watching your vids especially since i just bought a d max rider, What are the catch cans worth why did you chose this brand and roughly a price on replacement filters , keep up the good work very informative to help us novices make decisions

Can i ask why you didnt fit the Genuine Isuzu unit , that you did a video on?

Hey Nick, have you ever fitted a pre fuel filter from western filters, I’m looking for an install video in 2018 dmax

Hey just a question i got . I have a 2010 dmax 3l turbo deisel dual cab is there anyway i could change the location of the fuel filter from the passenger to under the bonnet and where its located it keeps bumping the wire connector undernearth it . Any help in this situation would be awesome its in a stupid spot .

Well explained , thanks.

Can you please please show us how to change ISUZU 2014 KB250 underneath /lower diesel filter???

Hi Nick How often do I need to drain the oil from The drain hose ? Thx

Good video Nick 👍

Great vid mate

Another great video thanks

Hey mate just wondering if I could put a oil catch can in a v6 Petrol hilux?

Have you seen the catch can made by Isuzu? Would it be better than the provent both in performance and potential warranty issues?

Hey Nic, quick question. Does fitting a catch can void your 6 year factory warranty??

Nice video bro! keep posting..

Are you going to have issues with heat over the long term putting it near the turbo?

thanks mate will follow the same.

cheers mate ,love it

does fitting these catch cans void any possible warranty on Ur vehicle??

the 1.9 diesel has one built in if im not mistaken

Great vid. Many thanks.

Hi mate, fuel pre filter next pls. Thanks

Cheers , for a good video , answers my questions

Hi bro... i like your channel... you got my attention in your catch can tutorial edition... and i want to put catch can in my mux 2016 model but im searching a provent model here in philippines i din't got anyone... how can i have that...
