As a diesel fitter or mechanic for US consumers. I'm Australian. The oring seals are good enough for the joiner"not valve to be installed. The tape will only be beneficial for creating extra torque on fitting so as not to come loose which would not happen anyway based on the mechanical fixing at either end of hose. Good basic video though well done guys.
Great video brother will be installing mine as well thanx for the video it really help! Thanx for taking your time to make these videos to help out optima owners install different mods!!!
I really enjoy your videos and you inspired me to get a muffler delete on my 2016 optima lx, but I do not mean to correct you, but when I used my stock hose on my catch can with the slightest bend, it cracked pretty bad. I would recomend buying all new hoses as the ones the car comes with do not like bends. I still love your videos! I just wanted to let you know before it happens to you!😂
Very interesting, thanks for the info! I’ll keep a good eye on my stock hose and if it looks like it’s getting worn too bad I’ll swap it for some new hose.
Hi, you seem responsive and know what you are doing with these cars, can you answer a question please. Sister bought used 2015 Optima, which is going through a quart of oil every week or so. I can’t do a piston soak due to her needing car every day, trying the bare minimum at first. I will be using BG 109 EPR to clean out before oil change, new PCV valve, using Valvoline Restore and Protect synthetic for four oil changes at least (they recommend), as it’s reported to help remove carbon. I also will be using CRC GDI valve cleaner, which is where my question comes in, plus I’m pondering a catch can to stop any further issues, I have one on my ecoboost. Question. My plan was to inject into intake as per instructions, avoiding MAF sensor, but do you think there is any benefit injecting some into PVC line? Not sure how these engines work, not sure if it is harmful or helpful at all. Anyway, thanks in advance, you did a good video. I’ll subscribe, but doubt I’ll do any more mods to her car, she’s a broke girl just trying to get from A to B, doesn’t care about that stuff. If my steps don’t help out, might try something more involved later.
Cool video just ordered mine today . Would you be able to lmk where you got the red oil filler cap for the optima . I have the 2018 lx but can’t seem to find it . Thanks for making a detail video on how to install
If I remember correctly it’s actually a Honda/Acura oil filler cap that just so happened to fit the Optima. I think most oil caps for smaller engines are pretty much the same size to cut down on production costs.
One question does it come with the filter because you did not use it, it is not recommended, I looked at what can be installed in the entrance above, could you specify why you did not install it?
Did you install this on a regular non turbo 2.0L engine? If so have you caught a lot of oil? I'd have to definitely install one if you did. My engine has 120k and I always thought turbo engines should get this and regular engines don't need it because of the fuel washing away on the valves.
This is actually on a 2.4L non-turbo model and it’s caught a good bit of oil blow-by (emptied it twice now, although it wasn’t more than 1/4 full each time). Any GDI engine can benefit from an oil catch can.
Good video man! What would be the point of putting that filter on top of the catch can? I figure it has to have pressure in order to work but the filter would release pressure and make it not work so good?
That’s a mystery to me too, I think the company included it for looks. I’m not sure how it would work since like you said it’s supposed to build up pressure but that would release it all. Plus I think it would make it too tall and my hood would smash it when I put it down so I just left it off.
@@KDMCurt I think that has to do with cars that are not naturally aspirated, To help release some pressure build up in the engine and not shoot it back and force all that gunk back in or To make sure you don't get extra build-up of pressure in the intake manifold or something like that? Idk. That's my assumption.
@@KDMCurt Alright man after careful evaluation I have came to the conclusion that the filter that goes on top of the catch can is made to act like a second "smaller cold air intake" I guess to have 2 "cold" entry points.
Ahh okay very interesting, I might just install it after all. Although I still think it would be too tall for where I have it under the hood at the moment.
You might have to sort of wing it. See how people with similar engines have done it and rig up your own system. That bracket isn’t even supposed to go with that catch can but I drilled some holes in it and made it work.
If not the same, it should be very close to the same. The only thing that I have seen being different in other videos is the location of the PCV valve.
I will check it at least once a week although it probably won’t get very full that fast. It’s only trapping the excess residue so it won’t be much. It should fit but you may have to adjust where the bracket goes, I’m not 100% sure on the configuration of that model engine inside the bay but there should be room.
I empty mine every 10,000 and it’s usually about half full. Had it in since the car had 17 miles on it. So I’m sure it’s done a world of difference in my valves.
Do you know if adding a catch can will void your warranty? I really want to get this same one for my car but I’ve been getting my oil changed at the dealership every since I bought my car just in case I’d need to use the warranty one day.
You know, I would call your dealership and ask. Some are strict but some are more lenient on mods like those. I mean technically you’re helping the engine last longer by adding an extra filtration system, but some could also see that as a modification to the engine that could cause harm if not done properly.
@@KDMCurt right on thanks. I’ll ask them next time I take it in for an oil change and if they say it will then I’ll just take it off the day Before I go in for any maintenance haha
@@lbchubs13 there you go haha I would take a pic of how it looks before you install it too. Sometimes the hoses have paint on them to indicate where it fits in the nozzle and if the dealership sees it’s not aligned they will know you messed with it.
@@KDMCurt yeah I seen that 1 just didn't just didn't want to have to spend that much on a bracket. If I can't fab something up here at work I might just have to suck it up and buy it.
This is actually a good video, easy installation and well explained, good job bruh.

Need to monitor the catch can during the winter season as it will fill up with water rather quickly. Otherwise it does collect oil as intended
Thxs for the detailed video very nice.

When do you need to install a catch can ??
Whenever you want to, I mean it’s great to do as soon as possible but it’s not 100% necessary to get one on there.

2.0 litre non-turbo? Looks like my 2016 Sonata which I def need one of these. They should factory install them.
This is actually a 2.4L non-turbo engine. Yeah it would be nice if they came with one but adding one yourself is easy enough.
Great video well explained!! Will this be the same for the 2013 ex model?
The location of the valves may be a little different on the engine but otherwise it should be pretty much the same install.
Great video! Very well explained. Keep up the grind!
Thank you!! I really appreciate that!
Great video .. thank you 👍
I just bought one for my 14 Kia optima. Would this be a similar install?
Should be pretty similar.
Can you add AEB and lane departure to a 2018 Kia Optima LX that has the blind spot warning and the rear traffic monitoring backup camera?
Unfortunately I’m not too sure on that one but it’s probably possible

Is your engine GDI? mine is MPI 2.4 not sure if I need an oil catch can
Yes this engine is a GDi
See I have the 1.6t 2017 an I can’t find a video to help me put mine on 😞
You might have to sort of wing it. See how people with similar engines have done it and rig up your own system. That bracket isn’t even supposed to go with that catch can but I drilled some holes in it and made it work.
Did you end up getting it to work? I have a 2016 1.6t.
@@aaronjarnag no I never got the new adapter for the hose but someone showed me how to so as soon as I do I’ll make a video of you did one

If not the same, it should be very close to the same. The only thing that I have seen being different in other videos is the location of the PCV valve.
How often do you empty it and does this fit a 2014 Kia Optima sxt-gdi?
Yes bro it does but the bracket might need some holes drilled

Does your oil smell like gas? When doing oil change
Not that I can recall, I’m actually getting ready to do another oil change on this car so I’ll try to see if I smell any when changing it.
Where did you buy the bracket that fits optima...can't find on Amazon or e bay
I got it from K5OptimaStore.com but it’s for another catch can which is why I had to drill some of my own holes in it to make it work.
