CONDENSATOR PCV Oil Catch Can Installation and 1 Month Test
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 вер 2024
- Here's a short video I made showing the installation and 1 month testing of a Condensator PCV oil catch can on my '97 Toyota Land Cruiser with 324,xxx miles.
As you can see, after 1 month (3756 miles), quite a bit of oil vapor had accumulated in the reservoir.
This is oil that would otherwise have been sucked through the intake manifold and burned through the combustion chamber.
Yes, I know a regular cheap oil separator from FleaBay or Harbor Freight would work just as well, however, I wanted an extra large capacity "see through" reservoir that I wouldn't have to service as often.
Also, since I do quite a bit of off-roading, I wanted a deep reservoir that would reduce the chance of oil being sucked through the intake when climbing/descending 45* grade inclines.
No, I didn't notice any increase in power or mpg, nor did I expect any.
If you think installing one of these things will give you a 42% increase in mpg (as some of the cracked testimonials suggest), then I've got some prime swamp land I'd be happy to sell you.
The ONLY reason I installed this unit was to prevent excess oil from crudding up my intake and slowly deteriorating my engine and emissions equipment. - Авто та транспорт
We have these are two vehicles in my house and they're great. One of these units is on a 2003 gmc envoy with 342,000 miles on it. We installed it at 50,000 miles and since then it's been doin its thing. It won't increase fuel milage, but if you install them early with low miles, it prevents the loss of fuel milage. The envoy usually gets around 17 mpg in the city, but when the condensator is full or the 'filter' is getting clogged, the fuel milage goes down as low as 12 mpg city.
I live in southeast PA and we have the smaller capacity canisters. During the winter months it's full in a week of about a 50/50 mix of water and oil. During the warmer seasons where condensation isn't an issue, it becomes full with just oil in about 3 weeks
a video tells 10,000 words...excellent demo
I have used these since about 1988, they have worked exactly as depicted in the video. I currently have one on my 96 Ranger 3.0, 376,000 miles and it still runs like a scalded dog! The science behind them works and I've never had any mechanical problems with it, I've replaced the Jar, because I broke it once, it's just a wide mouth quart Mason jar. I use a can of Carburetor cleaner and some rags to clean the parts and the Silica beads aren't effected by it, it just cleans the built up Varnish off. When I get rid of this truck, I'll remove it and reuse it on whatever I buy. The last one I bought was cast aluminum, I think that the ones since then are Plastic.
I had a 1993 Subaru I tried one on and for some reason it didn't like it. That was a boxer engine which shouldn't have made a difference, all of my engines have been Fuel injected, but for whatever reason I couldn't get it to work.
Every mechanic that sees it is like, "What in the world is that"?
Donde comprastes eso ?
@@kristhian8782 Lo busqué en Google pero deben haber cerrado. Realmente, todo es una lata de captura de aceite conectada exactamente de la misma manera, pero con perlas de sílice como una especie de medio filtrante. Compré una lata de captura de aceite de Amazon y algo de lana de acero 00 para usar como medio de filtro, pero todavía tengo que hacer algo con eso. Sin embargo, una lata de captura de aceite es lo mismo y creo que obtendría más o menos los mismos resultados, simplemente mantenga el aceite y los hidrocarburos limpios en cada cambio de aceite.
I searched google for it but they must have gone out of business. Really, all it is an oil catch can connected exactly the same way, but with Silica beads as somewhat of a filter media. I bought an oil catch can off of Amazon and some 00 steel wool to use as a filter medium, but I've yet to do anything with it. An oil catch can is the same though and I believe you would get pretty much the same results, just keep the oil and hydrocarbons cleaned out at each oil change.
Good idea. I can remember when I was a kid (70s) there were still enough old cars around to leave oily petina on pavement between tire tracks.
Great video, thanks for sharing. Good illustration with the intermittent revving.
Yep. A jar, lid, fuel hose and two 90⁰ barbs will do it. Add a filter under the lid if desired, or bottom of jar.
like Omega says the can catches , oil, water, ect. so remember all of the acids in crank case are WATER base. with out the water the acids cant form. i think ill built one but would like a clear houseing.
Amazing video.... Thanks for the experiment
Nice video. I'm wondering, what kind of filter element inside the glass, is it Cotton or metal?
Hello, from which city do you tell me what winter there are frosts in winter.
Excellent device, I will install one in my car
I empty both of mine after every road trip. I get alot of oil condensate.
What happened to the results from Blackstone? Can you share them with us please.
I purchased one of these for the reasons that you mention not for mpg or anything but for clogging purposes over time... My biggest problem right now is where to put it in my ram 5.7l any suggestions?
Did the Blackstone report ever come back 4 years later?
+23hublock1 - LOL, right??? Hmmmmmmm, LMFAO :D
I was about to write the comment. I just scrolled through all his videos and couldn't find the update.
I am also wondering the same thing. Just put one like this on a rebuilt toyota 3.5L and am getting a bit of clear water with oily yellow foam on top.
What's the oil analysis result ?
im till waiting. it's already 2021.
I like the music.
I have not seen one of these particular reservoirs on ebay, where did you purchase? Thanks, Dave
Thank you. I'll check it out, Dave.
+98snakeeater no luck with the search, just brings me back to your vid.
It only goes to this vid when I do a condensatorDOTcom
Can you give me a link? Maybe that will help, thanks, Dave. What's the cost?
+98snakeeater awesome, thanks so much, Dave!
Wow that looks so cool.
Where can i get a oil catch can at for my 99 durango
Hallo, what is this?
where is the continuation? it's 2021 now?!
Does anyone else have this particular one installed in there vehicles? If so how do you like it?
Notice any MPG or smoother running engine?
But if that's the case then is would make or keep I should say is the better word, the engine running smoother cause it reduces oil coking in the engine and doesn't clog up over time... Am I correct to assume this or not?
Hi! is it a "normal glass" or a tempered one? thanks!
@@rickantonio muchas gracias! regards from Córdoba, Argentina.
do you know why there is vapor? anyway to eliminate the vapor from completely from going back to the intake air box?
it`s blowby from the engine, it has a mixture of water, gasoline vapours, oil vapours and many other stuff...
"anyway to eliminate the vapor from completely from going back to the intake air box?"
release to the atmosphere? but mother earth will be pissed...
First of all, when reving up - opening the intake - creates a vakuum. Air loses density, so the watervapor will condense (air also gets colder) and thats what you see. If you had that much gasolinevapor in your crankcase, then your engine is fucked.
+auomauom - Some States is actually " Illegal " to vent that back into the Air ://
Yes, install a catchcan!
why would you bother to fit this to a old engine? The engines that have a problem with port fouling are direct injection, not indirect as yours probably is. On indirect injection the fuel spray washes the valves clean, unlike on direct injection which don't!
yeah what snake eater said lol fuckin "know it all"
Good
شكرا جزيلا
Were did get that kit and how much?
From the manufacturer in Canada $200 for the Condensator + $38 shipping. Same thing can be accomplished with an air compressor filter setup from Harbor Freight Item # 68230 for $9.99 + other misc.hardware parts whole project cost should be under $25 US. Hope this helps.
Mike Schmidt thanks for that info...even gave the part number.
Mike Schmidt Dude, HAHAHAHAH!!! Way to piss all over this poor guys video! HAHHAHA! Your 100% right, but it's funny as shit!
***** That's a good point. And if you replace the cheap piece of hose they give you with some of them, the
The replacement oil safe hose for the is .36 cents a foot at Lowes. Takes about 5 inches.
Legal
music ?
C'EST QUOI LA MUSIQUE TROP BIEN
god work but better relocate in a colder place
$225 is too high of a price for a mason jar,
Try the $15 Bucks Can that I just installed a few months back. See Video and Link in Descriptions: ua-cam.com/video/wXIdldyItZk/v-deo.html
that's very little oil in my opinion
It will be good for Blow-By.... See the Video I made here: ua-cam.com/video/r-W3rAvgLmU/v-deo.html
It's enough to FU an intake tract, and form carbon on the pistons....
