Installed a JLT Catch Can on my V-6 today. I'll take another picture in a couple of weeks and see how much oil it collects

 

Do you really think it will collect any?

Most every V6 owner that has reported anything about it has seen no oil level drop between checks and oil changes.

 

Looks Good David, I'll have to stop by as soon as I can get my car back up the road

 

Good but why?

 

I'll check it in around 100 miles. The way i drive that will be a couple of weeks. If all this snow doesn't clear up soon, might be longer than that An ounce or two of oil loss (blow-by) in between oil changes wouldn't show up on the dip stick.

 

Thanks Ken. Stop by anytime

 

It collects blow-by oil from the PCV Valve and keeps everything nice and clean. It shouldn't be more than an ounce or so in 3,000 miles (read it somewhere), but i don't want the blow-by oil going into my engine.

 

Hey, looks good. I'll be looking into a plug and play kit for the 2011 V6 very soon.

This works great on every engine. All engines get oil in the intake system through the PCV air. The PCV air is filled with oil vapors and those vapors will gum up throttle body blades, intake runners and even delute the fuel octane.

Our Separators will stop the oil and allow the PCV air to go though on it way to do it's job.

Keep us posted on the results

Ok I get it now. I wonder why manufacturers don't install this from the beginning. Bean counters perhaps?

 

After only around 40 miles, i have a small amount of oil in my catch can. With all this snow and a few days of rain on its way, Little Red (my Mustangs name ) is clean with his cover on, parked in the carport for the next few days. I'll post a picture of the collected oil when i get a couple hundred miles or so. Way the weather has been it might take a month to get that many miles . The catch can is working

 

Nice installation. I have one on my 2006 and get more than an ounce in a 1,000 miles, but I have the Xcharger on my car so that creates a little more blow by (and more reason to catch it before it gets into the intake).

 

Can you please post when you have this available. I'm interested in a vehicle specific kit. Thanks

 

Nice addition.

 

Thanks everyone .

I read on other Mustang forums to see if anyone had a catch can on their 2011 V-6 Mustang. I couldn't find anything. I will tell you, our V-6's do need one. Like i posted above, after only 40 miles there is a small amount of oil in my catch can.

 

I'm still thinking about it. It kind of looks cool. What is holding back is that don't see a lot of evidence that cars actually need it. I mean if is something that could cause problems down the road you will think it will be part of the design like the air and oil filter. I'll keep it in my list but well down for now.

 

Up-Date on the JLT Catch Can: Sorry but with all this snow, its taken me this long to drive 100 miles. Here is a picture after only 100 miles.

 

Needs a valve on the bottom hooked to a hose to the cam cover so you could drain it back into the motor.

 

Why would you put gaseous blow by fluid back into the crankcase? Have you ever smelled it? It's not just oil.

 

It came from there, why wouldn't you put it back?

 

You don't want to drain it back in the motor, plus there really is no reason too.

We did a test fit on a 2011 V6 this weekend and will put them on the web site shortly.
We used a 2011 GT 5.0 factory hose for a perfect fit.
