Default Oil Catch Can **PICS**

Very easy to install. I put it on in about 15 mins, then parked the car..

Any way here are the pics

BEFORE





AFTER





i hope that my PCV is ok. i took it out to inspect it, i got it back in, and got that metal peice back around it. Just want to make sure it is ok. And i got the hose back around it to make sure that it seats properly...

NOW WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK???

Might want to run the line around the oil neck so it doesn't get as kinked.

after emptying the can out, you ll see how clumpy the fluids can get. so over time it will block up and no longer flow

B/c i have heard that the 1st does not always catch it all.

And the cans are from an air compressor actually. do a search. about 95% of people are runing those exact same ones

The problem with those is that they are way to small and will only hold so much oil before it gets sucked in again. My AMW can will only go for about 200 miles before the oil gets past. If you let those go for a couple weeks(maybe even just a couple days), You will notice the level of oil in them won't change. And that line is definately pinched.

I'm not trying to be a dick, but I would be embarassed and made fun of by my friends if I opened my hood and they seen that. It looks like you robbed your air compressor of parts. I will give you an A for creativity though!
