Thank you so much for this video I have watched at least 10 videos and none of them explained which side to hook up the in or out side to finally I was able to finish up my catch can which came without any instructions thanks again
My toyo with 36500 all clean intake and pcv valve catches brownish oil all with fresh oil. I now get 20.5 mpg ave. Sticker mileage or better. New plugs and all fresh lube/ fluids. Glad my sealed catch can catches the browned oil!.
My 2018 only had maybe a table spoon full after 10,000km. Lots of short trips and warm ups down to -45 in the winter, towing 8500lb camper in the summer.
I installed 2 catch-cans. One ech for the right hand and left hand sides. It is amazing how much blow-by gets condensed in thee cans. Should have installed bigger cans. Check it every 200 miles!
Hi, this video showed installation of a can in the passenger side. You installed cans in both sides. Does the driver side can catches much less or the same mount of oil?
what about those ones on amazon with an air filter sticking out the top? Is that a good idea to get or can it cause a vacuum leak or loss of pressure or something?
I'm no expert but wouldn't it help to have some material for the hot gases to condense on, baffles, stainless wool or something. I'd guess the fluid in there condensed on the sides, some more baffles or material would be good and probably collect more. Is there problems with these pressurizing the can? Maybe a check valve between the can and manifold (close to throttle body). Thanks for the video I've got one of these too.
On other vehicles I own i run a check valve on the OCC's. I may be wrong but I believe when routed from the PCV then the system is only open under vacuum, and pressure will not be a massive issue (assuming no other problems leading to excessive pressure in the head). Baffling should be a part of every OCC, in my opinion.
What kind of hose did you use? I was told to use heater hose since it should be able to withstand the vacuum but once installed that hose collapsed while the truck sat in idle. I have a 2016 f150 3.5 eco boost
Misfires often occur due to bad spark plugs and excessive carbon blow by on the Ecoboost engine. Check the gaps on all sparks, generally need to replace around 50 to 75k miles. Suggest a heavier duty spark plug as well. Inspect the rubber boots as well, they often show signs of wear at 75k. Catch cans will lengthen the life of your engine and reduce carbon blow by. If misfires continue, get AutoZone to read the Ford codes and see exactly what P faults you have, could be cam phaser issues and that's big bucks to fix. Happy troubleshooting 🎉
Sounds like you have a spark plug problem. When it comes to Fords, especially the Ecoboost only used Motorcraft spark plugs. I subscribe to a lot of car channels in which some of the content creators are certified Master Ford Techs and they all say to use Motorcraft plugs only.
Double check the lines to make sure they are routed correctly. Double the the PVC valve to make sure it’s working. One last thing check for kinked hoses. I originally used some cheaper hoses and they collapsed.
I saw another thread mention that his line froze up in the winter due to moisture getting trapped. He recommended mounting catch can lower so gravity would drain it into can. Not sure if others had this issue?
@@banyontreeguy5619 I figure if the ford engineers had thought it was necessary they'd have designed one into the truck. Kind of like leveling kits. Unnecessary.
@@autodriven did u use 1/2 hoses for both in and out ? ( the hose that come with the catch can will not work ? ) i got mines in today just wondering :)
@@banyontreeguy5619 I’ve taken mine in to the dealer multiple times and they won’t do anything about it. They just marked the dipstick and told me to come back every 1000 miles. At the next oil change it wasn’t registering on the dip stick. They’ve still done nothing.

It’s amazing how much oil it actually catches!
The catch can I put on my car catches a lot of crap in the cold part of the year.
Great video just what I needed for my 2014 3.5 ecoboost truck.

Thanks bro I needed this video lol. Just decided to buy the same catch can for my 2018 stx 👍
No problem! Glad the video helped
With the intake manifold under boost, wouldn't you need a check valve to keep the pressure from blowing backwards through this system?
My 2018 only had maybe a table spoon full after 10,000km. Lots of short trips and warm ups down to -45 in the winter, towing 8500lb camper in the summer.
Do I have to put the breather on the top of my oil catch can
Merci beaucoup pour votre excellent explication entre le sens de circulation entre et sorti la meilleure vidéo 😊
I used 19/32 PCV hose I bought at Autozone it fit the existing Ford parts perfectly with no forcing it on.
Have you had any issues with the hose collapsing from heat and the vacuum it deals with?
How long??
What takes the pressures out of the crankcase
Where does the steel wool go?
Auto Driven, what is the Brillo pad used for. I didn’t see that you used it.

Hi, this video showed installation of a can in the passenger side. You installed cans in both sides. Does the driver side can catches much less or the same mount of oil?
I add that exact can to my 2013 3.5 an after 400 mi. It was 3/4 full dont seem right,
Damn, you solved my pistol and truck issues!
Glad to help
what about those ones on amazon with an air filter sticking out the top? Is that a good idea to get or can it cause a vacuum leak or loss of pressure or something?
Did you add that included stainless steel mesh to the filter baffle?
Yeah I had that too. But it's too much mesh, I used half of it and it worked perfect

There’s a baffle system under the cap

You didn’t use the steel media that comes with it?
Mine didn’t come with any, but you’d an out steel wool or some scrub pad inside of it
Awesome!

I used Mishimoto catch can hose. Can find on Amazon for 14 bucks. A lot sturdier and will not collapse.
@autodriven what size Mishimoto hose? I heard the Mishi runs large and the ½" was fitting loose, should I drop to ⅜"? Same vehicle ftr
@@kikigem2952which one did you buy? I want to buy a hose
Indonesia is here friends 🇲🇨👍
Sup’ Indonesia
How do you attach the oil catch can to the battery box? Can you show more about that?
Kinda hard to explain, but there’s a lip on the battery tray. Drill a hole matching the size of the bracket and use a nut/bolt
@@autodriven thank you. Will try it next weekend. I have my oil catch can attached to the firewall but I like the battery box better.
Don’t have to remove the oil cap. The rubber grommet allows it to stay in place on my 2018 anyways
What about the breather filter?
Don’t need one :/
Will thus help with misfires? Better than drilling hole in intercooler?
I’m not sure
No

I did this and now I have an exhaust type odor in the cab?
Double check the lines to make sure they are routed correctly. Double the the PVC valve to make sure it’s working. One last thing check for kinked hoses. I originally used some cheaper hoses and they collapsed.
I have a 2014 eco boost. I added the catch cans now I have smoke coming from my exhaust. And exhaust smell in the cabin. Have you had this to happen
Nope mine is fine
I’d double check all fittings, hoses to make sure there’s no kinks, and make sure you routed the tubes correctly
I saw another thread mention that his line froze up in the winter due to moisture getting trapped. He recommended mounting catch can lower so gravity would drain it into can. Not sure if others had this issue?
I had smole from my exhaust.....because the cans were full after 400 miles. Blew up my turbos. 5grand later, I set it back to stock

Did u use the steel wool that came with it ?
Nope, everything seems to be working fine. Now has almost 10K on it with no issues
What kinda catch can did you buy
Cheapo
1500 miles, thats insane
What size drill u use ?
I don’t remember…
@@autodriven did u use 1/2 hoses for both in and out ? ( the hose that come with the catch can will not work ? ) i got mines in today just wondering :)
@@autodriven also do u have any problems with vacuum leaks ?
@@cheizaguirre5494 no leaks! I use the “Mishimoto MMHOSE-CC12-4 Universal Catch Can Hoses 1/2" x 4', Black”
Can be found on Amazon
Do you think you need one for the driver side?
Planning on adding another one on the driver’s side
You don't really need one for the driver side.
I’m added 1 to the drivers side as well and it stays empty and dry, the passenger side collects a milky tan liquid:/
How often do you need to empty yours? Mine is completely full at every fuel up. Seems a bit excessive to me for a 21 3.5 F150.
Oh dang. I haven’t checked mine for about 1500 miles. That was the first time I checked (shown in the video)
It sounds like you need to vent your catch can or get rid of it
That's way too much blow by....
Mine was the same. Had a full can after 400 miles. Smoke from the exhaust, and it blew my turbos up
@@banyontreeguy5619 I’ve taken mine in to the dealer multiple times and they won’t do anything about it. They just marked the dipstick and told me to come back every 1000 miles. At the next oil change it wasn’t registering on the dip stick. They’ve still done nothing.
Do we need two.
It’s better to have two, but I’ve seen many ran with one and it’s fine
Do you really need the driver side can, i think 99% of cases it doesn't really catch anything.
You’re supposed to, but this one has been working great!
My cach can was full of ice I think is not for northern climates
Mine has been fine, negative degree weather no problems
Wait I thought flow was INTO pvc?
No....out of PCV into intake.
I guess you need two, one for each side. Isn't?
You’re supposed to, but this one has been working great
Don't you have to run an oil separator for each side.
It’s recommended, but so far one side is good for me
You forgot to put a check valve on the out hose of the catch can
It has a check valve inside the catch can
Better change that brake fluid. Looking a little dark.
Dogs and dog owners are the worst.
