Thanks for the great step by step video. I just recently ordered mines from RCA garage for $159 no tax free shipping. Can’t wait to receive and install mines. I saved your video incase I need guidance doing the install.
Very well orchestrated video . Well spoken & descriptive of frustrating places us DIY ppl need help. Was Wondering does oil catch can almost prevent major carbon built up on intake valves ? Or is manual cleaning of intake valves with intake manual disassembly every 30 to 50k miles recommended ?
Keeping carbon build up off the intake valves is the main goal of the oil separator. While nothing is 100% effective, the oil separator will help to keep the valves cleaner for longer by filtering out the majority of the blow by circulating through the PCV system.
Thank you for the video. Very clear and every step detailed to where I would feel confident doing this. I have a 2024 cx-5 NA ordered. Would you recommend this to prevent the need for carbon cleaning or will it still need a cleaning at some point?
Thanks for the kind words! At minimum an oil separator will prolong the time before needing a carbon cleaning. If it is installed early and maintained properly it may prevent it all together.
As far as we know, an oil separator will not impact a smog inspection. However, we are unable to ship to California due to CARB regulations. Also, we have not had a Mazda6 in the shop to confirm fitment with this kit.
Hola desde España,una pregunta donde va puesra cada manguera al decantador de aceite? Me harias un gran favor en decirmelo tengo un mazfa 6 con 10.000km y al desmontar ya esta lleno de carbonilla.Un gran saludo!!!
Perdóneme si esto no se traduce bien, estoy usando el traductor de Google. El separador de aceite reemplaza la línea PCV de fábrica del vehículo, por lo que una manguera va desde la válvula PCV hasta el lado filtrado de la lata y la otra va desde la lata hasta la vía de admisión. Básicamente es un filtro en línea en su línea PCV. Lo más probable es que se necesite alguna modificación para que esto funcione en su Mazda 6; no será un kit de ajuste directo.
It's possible, but without having one in front of us to confirm we can't say 100%. Your best bet is to compare this video to your vehicle step by step and see if it will work.
