Oil Catch Can

[guruman]

Since our 392s are port injected, catch cans fall into the category of pretty useless, but does not hurt anything.

Some reason factory doesn't install oil catch can/filters from the factory... wouldn't think it would be additional cost?

The oil isn't the problem. Where it's ending up on DI engines is.

Okay, I apologise. Being a former TrackHawk owner, my inclination is that all "Mopar Hemi" engines would benefit from the installation/use of an "oil catch can".

The factory DIDN'T install them on their Supercharged engines that are direct injected. I installed a catch can on my 392 based on what I experienced with my TrackHawk's 6.2 Supercharged motor. The oil catch prevents oil from being sucked into and deposited onto the Supercharger vanes and subsequently the rest of the componants of the intake system. Despite not being supercharged, this upgrade is a prudent investment for the 392.

Installing a catch can from the factory can create liability. If you don't empty it often, going around a turn will dump oil into your engine, and someone who doesn't know it's there or how to maintain it could allow it to overflow, and bad things happen.

Just finished a 2k mile road trip with many stretches above 80 mph. The catch can was emptied before the trip and was 1/2 full at the end of the trip. Might be something to watch for if you make similar trips.

yeah that sounds about right. We have been selling a good bit of these recently for the 392s because more people are noticing how much is getting caught in there.

I'd love to see an analysis of that liquid. Most likely what you have there is a very small amount of oil, some exhaust particulate, and a lot of condensation mixed together.

Complete Kit for 392. JLOSC.com. Installs in about 10 min. Easy to install and you can always go back to the stock config in prob 5 min if needed/wanted.

I pulled a sample of the engine oil but not the catch can. The catch can appeared to have a small amount of emulsified oil at the bottom and the remainder of the catch can looked like thin, dark oil. It would be interesting to know what's in there.

In the olden days, before PCV valves, the crankcase ventilation was directed to the ground. My Harley is directed through a hose to the ground. Just need a bit of cardboard on the floor to catch the drips.
Maybe we don’t need catch cans?

Could do that lol, I like my pavers clean and the catch can works very well for our Jeep. The TRX even moreso, it's has the extender and it's usually full at oil change time.

Just received my order, Super impressed with the packaging. Will hopefully put it on today.

Do you have any pictures one this was installed? It looks really nice.

That's right where the PSC reservoir goes......

That's right where the PSC reservoir goes......

The ABD will fit with PSC reservoir. Would have to mount the vent elsewhere. Emptying would suck.
Note: I took this pic for someone. I didn't leave it installed.

My PSC vent is where the ABD can is, but it could probably be moved.
