Oil Catch Can

Q: What is an oil catch can?

An oil catch can is a device designed to capture oil vapor and other contaminants that are produced by the engine’s crankcase ventilation system. These vapors can include oil mist, fuel, and moisture, which can enter the intake system, causing carbon buildup, reduced engine performance, and long-term damage. The oil catch can traps these contaminants, preventing them from reaching the intake manifold and allowing cleaner air to return to the engine. It’s an essential accessory for maintaining a cleaner engine and improving overall engine efficiency, especially in performance, modified, or turbocharged vehicles.

Q: What’s the difference between a baffled and non-baffled oil catch can?

The main difference between a baffled oil catch can and a non-baffled one is the internal design. A baffled catch can has an internal structure with baffles that create turbulence, enhancing the separation of oil vapor and contaminants from the air. This makes it much more effective in high-performance or racing applications where the engine produces more vapor and contaminants. A non-baffled catch can, while still functional, may not separate the oil as efficiently, especially under high engine loads.

Q: What are the benefits of using an oil catch can in my vehicle?

An oil catch can prevents oil vapor and contaminants from entering your intake system, which can lead to carbon buildup and reduced engine efficiency. By trapping these contaminants, an oil catch can ensures a cleaner intake system, leading to improved combustion, better fuel efficiency, and enhanced engine performance. It’s especially important for high-performance and turbocharged engines, but it can also benefit any vehicle by extending engine life and maintaining optimal performance.

Q: What is a baffled oil catch can and how does it work?

A baffled oil catch can is a specialized device designed to capture oil vapor, contaminants, and excess moisture from the crankcase ventilation system of your engine. Inside the catch can, internal baffles create turbulence that helps separate the oil vapor from the air, allowing the oil to condense and collect in the can, while clean air is routed back into the intake system. This design offers more efficient separation, making it ideal for high-performance and racing engines where oil vapor levels are higher.

Q: How does an oil catch can work?

An oil catch can works by capturing oil vapor, moisture, and other contaminants that are expelled from the crankcase ventilation system. When your engine operates, gases and vapors from the crankcase are routed into the intake system, where they can lead to carbon buildup and affect engine performance. The oil catch can is installed between the crankcase and the intake, and it collects these vapors before they enter the intake manifold. Inside the catch can, contaminants condense and are stored in the can while clean air is allowed to pass back into the intake system. This process helps to keep the intake system cleaner, improve engine performance, and reduce the risk of carbon deposits forming in the engine.

At EVIL ENERGY, we specialize in a wide range of oil catch cans engineered to improve your engine’s performance, reliability, and longevity. Whether you're searching for a PCV oil catch can for your daily driver or a baffled oil catch can for high-performance applications, we offer durable, high-efficiency options for every need.

Great product, works great

I'm happy with my purchases, got a complete fuel system from the fuel cell all the way up to the fuel rail (pump. Filters, fuel.pressure regulator. Great products so far. Only thing I dislike is the check valves, you have all these nice fittings for everything else but in order to use these you attached them with hose clamps. Happy with everything regardless of this one thing and i would recommend these products
