@LoveWhatYouDrive Actually, bought it to install on my 98Harley Davidson Fat Boy FLSTF! Quality product, love the look, haven't installed yet but it'll look bad a** when I'm done...
@LoveWhatYouDrive Never thought about using it on a motorcycle either, until I saw a TH-cam video of dude putting it on his Harley Davidson, looked bad a** so I grabbed one for my bike. The ones sold specifically for motorcycles are way too small for my liking!
I’m hoping in 3 months or whenever I can open that thing up and find some gunk or junk that otherwise would be going back into my intake manifold and runners and into the valves…I could be completely wrong or it might do good. Thanks for stopping by!
I have used a copy of this catch can, and I collected about 2 liters worth of mixture of water/benzin/oil (mostly water) within a year. All that would have either gone into the intake or back into the oil pan. I mostly drive short distances in cold weather. I think these catch cans are good, but they require emptying often. That's why they aren't installed from the factory.
Why? Direct injected General Motors High feature 3.6L definitely could use something like this but for a GM with the 4.6L portal injected engine it’s completely useless. If you are worried about oil volatility switch to a high quality synthetic like Mobil-1 or one of the others with low volatility.
How is it working out for you? Good results? Here’s the video with a 90 day result of the catch can, thanks for stopping by! th-cam.com/video/Q-mhpMik-hs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=BGvGlWjWwHAfsRgc
I haven’t seen anything go wrong up to this point. I’ve already put on about 10k miles and 5.5 months and no issues. When the car is on and I pull the dipstick out it has a really strong suction. I’ll keep an eye out now that you’ve mentioned it. But an O-ring wouldn’t be a bad idea or some thread teflon tape.
This is a well-built, nice looking piece of uselessness. What exactly is the need for this? If you are maintaining your car correctly with all your emissions systems in operating condition and changing your oil at required intervals, all you are doing is adding additional plumbing that isn't necessary. What does the thing really do? The car accessory industry never fails to amaze me.
Thanks for stopping by. I guess we will see you in a few months if it’s really useless or if there’s any good out of it the industry is amazing, we can spend weeks and days, putting on knickknacks that we might never use.
@@LoveWhatYouDrive I'll make an analogy with something that is actually functional but also a waste. K&N air filters. For practically any driver, there is zero benefit. They may have superior filtration (debatable) but also come with the need to service them by cleaning and re-oiling. This carries the risk of improper/ineffective cleaning, plus over-oiling the filter media, which puts your MAF sensor at risk. And all for many more dollars and zero improvement in "seat of the pants" performance. People may think it's better, you get a decal to stick on your window.....I hope you see my point - added expense for zero benefit plus additional risk for your car's intake system.
@@JNXT_Railroadno k and filters work great, never had an issues in multiple vehicles motorcycles in the dust and always never seen any get past the filter
Thank god you located the correct spot for the steel wool. Another guy was saying to throw the whole thing inside the can
Just picked up exact same "catch can" on ebay, total was $17.51 shipped! Got the raw aluminum one.
Nice, I see same exact product but with no “name” and for cheaper…good for you!
How do you like it ? Or have you had a chance to use it?

@none4085 ok cool, never thought about it in terms of motorcycles or other applications…

Thanks for showing this most reviews are not showing the inside and the steel wool 👍🏿
Thanks for stopping by! You’re welcome!
Right on Art,
I wonder how much oil you're going to catch. Lol
This will be interesting to follow up on.

Hey Chuck! We will have a follow up video after the install video and 3 months of driving around and use! Hope you having an awesome summer!
On my oil catch can as of right now it is catching gold metal shavings.
Interesting! We’ll keep an eye out on what I’ll catch…
Are we supposed to put steel wool inside canister or inside the oil catch can ?
Time stamp 10:55 of the video! Thanks for stopping by!
I have to agree ..as to why this is needed ? 😮....

Why didn't you measure the fittings?
Sometimes I do things backwards
What is the benefit of installing this?
It catches your oil.
Hopefully in a couple of months, it’ll be filled with oil and gunk.

@@LoveWhatYouDrive that was my point. If it is, I think you may have more serious problems as to why so much oil and gunk is getting in there.
@walterbright1396 no catch Cans can have some benefit to port injected engines.
Says i will show you how to use the brillo pad then throws it back on the table
10:39 my man! Thanks for stopping by!
I bought a more expensive one; $75.00 evil brand. No directions in the box.
For the reason to prevent carbon build up in my intake manifold.

if its got an oring you dont need teflon tape
💯…I sometimes overthink and say to myself “better safe than sorry”
Thanks for the video. If it's npt use teflon. If you see an oring your all good. Take care.
@QuickScopeOmega thanks I appreciate the advice! 🤝🏼
Does the dop stick have an o ring?
No
@@LoveWhatYouDrivecan the threaded dip stick cause a leak in negative pressure?
