Choosing the Right Catch can and the Real cause to leaking seals

[@Michael_Mears]

Good info in the video, but don't suppose you guys could turn the camera 90 degrees for better viewing?

[@ronanrogers4127]

My small Mitsubishi ASX had just enough space to install the big Provent 200. I made a simple bracket myself and it hasn’t moved a mm in 3 years. I get 40,000 km easy, and I service the filter every 10k (and twice in Vic winter due to condensation) by using paper towels to soak excess oil and clean off any sludge. The paper towel trick was recommended by my Benz dealer in Germany. These are great.

[@jorjimaco5331]

Yeah I’m on my 3rd filter now and my car is running perfect. I never had a DPF burn since installed catch can!

[@pieropower1260]

Always genuine and proper advice.

[@BerrimaDiesel]

Thank you

[@stevegoodwin5841]

I just changed my Flashlube Pro element after 40,000 ks of mostly touring work over 4 years. The old element looked perfect, like brand new but changed it out anyway. I have collected all the oil drained during the 40,000 ks. It would be approximately 600 to 700 ml. of oil. Very glad I have had it fitted since Dmax was new.

[@GdaySport]

Been running a provent for a few years now, catches more oil than other cans (especially cheapo eBay specials)

[@lindsaydonovan6241]

4:00 bloody great coincidence with that real truck!

[@iansonnyblack2624]

The wee small ones with the dip stick that screws in and out i bought off ebay..soon as i got it i tested it to see if it hold vacuum and found out it didn't. Filled sink with water an blew into one on the holes while other was blocked off and seen where it was leaking. Bubbles appeared from where the dipstick was screwed in. Was able to put an O ring on it and holds vacuum and no leaks. So best to check theres no leaks before fitting.

[@srt94]

While fitting a provent kit on my 200 I noticed that the inlet and outlet ports are shown incorrectly on Mann & Hummel's diagrams and provent installation guides. The Ryco diagrams show correct orientation (Ryco element interchangable with the Mann). The gases into a coalescing filter should be from the outside of the element with the filter inlet lower than the outlet and with the relief also correctly at the inlet to enabling venting in the case of a blocked filter or full catch can preventing over-pressurisation of the crankcase and subsequent front/rear crankshaft seal failure.

[@BerrimaDiesel]

I always knew Mann Hummels design Engineer was wrong......... 😥

[@acc1tester398]

is there a way to measure a crankcase pressure just to compare before and after installing the occ?

[@DunateoRom8v37]

Good day Andrew. Why not just connect the drain line back to the sump? It is only the gas that needs to be "burned" in the combustion cycle. Why not let the separated oil drain back in to the sump?

[@BerrimaDiesel]

Oil, water....Yikes no thanks!

[@mememaster147]

I wonder if the factory is filling engines with a light oil as a running in oil, motorbike manufacturers used to do that.

[@mountainconstructions]

They are identical, next words, they are slightly different

[@medveds1]

Hi guys, great vid. But no one I have approached has bothered to answer a tech question about the provent. My V6 Amarok and like all other diesel 4by's have an "unrestricted" air flow from the rocker cover to the turbo inlet. Placing a provent in the line means the oily air is now trying to go through a filter, once this filter gets wet with oil how does the "filtered" air pass back into the engine without creating pressure in the rocker cover ? Yes I know provent has a pressure relief valve but bare in mind the oem design has no restriction and my concerns are the built up pressure will force oil leak problems. Thoughts?

[@BerrimaDiesel]

Simply- The breathing fumes from your engine go ONE WAY...and thats towards the engine. A proper catch can separates the oil from the fumes. Any pressure (only from the blow by fumes) due to a blocked catch can filter will open a vent. You would normally change the filter about every 40,000km so you wont have this happen. Its German made so the Germans already think ahead and have redundancy.

[@medveds1]

@@BerrimaDiesel Oh ok, thats good news, just one more question, would you know if it voids new car warranty as I've heard a Navara owner fitted one of these and Nissan said good by to his warranty. Also what do you think of intake professional carbon clean for new diesels and all their tech and sensors, stay away or ok?

[@BerrimaDiesel]

Australia has good consumer rights. No dealer/manufacturer can void warranty. They may threaten (because you didnt buy the accessory from them) but they cant void your warranty. our own New vehciles all under warranty have all our goodies on them.

[@keithy363]

Can u wash the elements ?? Say every 10k and fully change it as per advise if 40k ??

[@BerrimaDiesel]

no need to wash them as they are constantly draining off....replace every 40,000 to 50,000 kilometres

[@dagamecheats]

Hey mate just wondering what one I should go for installing on my 2022 Hilux, drawn to the Flaslube pro or provent... you sound like the bloke to ask, cheers.

[@BerrimaDiesel]

Just service it regularly is more the concern than anything as they are usually instralled then forgotten

[@williamwootton1614]

About 8000 km ago fitted a provent 200 to my 2022 dmax. I’m getting about 30ml per 1000k out of the drain and also noticing oil weeping around valve cover seal and around pcv outlet. Is this common? Confirmed correct installation.

[@BerrimaDiesel]

With a genuine German mann hummel Catch can system I've never seen that

[@tonymontana897]

What's the difference between the paper filter and the metal mesh filter ? It would seem to me that a paper filter would be a continuous running cost as opposed to washing the metal one. I hope you can respond. Thanks

[@BerrimaDiesel]

Paper Stops things. Mesh makes you think its stopping things :-)

[@darrenwalker9777]

Hmmm......the Provent 100 should be an ideal fit in my 2016 i30 diesel 👌

[@Glover303]

I have recently fitted the Provent 100 to my Land Rover Td5 that's done over 400,00kms and I notice an average 50degC reduction in exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs). Beware that unlike the 200, on the 100 the vapor inlet is the lower port .....

[@DonHavjuan]

They need a reservoir on the drain tube unless you want to empty it every other week.

[@BerrimaDiesel]

The resovior is the long drain tube in our kits.

[@nuttynick1305]

I have a 2018 dpd model isuzu mux. Will fitting one of these void mt factory warranty??? As ive heard it will. All so what is the benefit? Will it keep the egr clean or at least cleaner? Thanks

[@BerrimaDiesel]

Nope wont void anything Yep is designed to Help and keep things clean www.berrimadiesel.com/diesel-archives/tech-talk

[@jediofthejungle]

Sooo. How do you get lubrication into the inlet side? Direct injection means no lubrication over the bottom of the valves that fuel and/oil vapor would normally supply. Therefore in the case of EGR valves a catch can would prevent this lubrication and you would only get dirty soot running over the valves which I imagine is fairly abrasive? Is the catch can REALLY a good idea?

[@BerrimaDiesel]

where do you think the carbon soot came from in the first place? :-)

[@jediofthejungle]

@@BerrimaDiesel it Comes from exhaust through the EGR system. This mixes with that oil vapor creating the sticky black sludge. to stop it you have to delete the EGR soot. If you delete the oil you will only get the Soot...which is abrasive. if you delete the egr and retain the oil you will keep it clean.

[@BerrimaDiesel]

Wrong Tim. Where does the soot come from in the first place? Yep from the combustion process in the first place. Theres no marshmallows coming from any engine. Nah. Safe, Legal Correct way. No Oil... Nothing including the soot can stick with the oil gone.

[@deanwatersdeanw608]

I recently got rid of my provent 200 as it was pressurising the engine so went with flash lube and found it heaps better... don’t know if it was a faulty RV on it but yeah it was messy with genuine filters.. and the ones from eBay seemed to be less resistance but also less trapped oil..🤷🏼‍♂️ so turfed it.. Have you heard of this happening before.. I have an 06 fte

[@BerrimaDiesel]

You might want to recheck that. What youve said is youve downsized to the Pro Vent 100 (the FlashLube 100 is made by MAnn Hummel Pro Vent) and that the 'twice as big' PV200 was causing issues. Doesnt really make sense.

[@deanwatersdeanw608]

@@BerrimaDiesel I know right ,all I can go on is what I’ve seen over the last 3 years there was always a fine mist over the oil lines and motor. I did change filters. They ranged from the cheap $30-40 range up to the $70 from western filters and the last one was from them and I noticed puffs of white smoke on start up which I wasn’t happy about and thought that the turbo seals where being compromised and also a slight loss of power and then lots of oil down the side of the block.. so finally said enough is enough and bought the flash lube And it’s been great.. Now I noticed that you have shown one with a valve in the bottom of the filter.. none of the ones I bought ever had that so is it new..🤷🏼‍♂️

Thoughts on HPD catch cans ?

We had a HPD. Looks great and does catch oil but still allows large amounts of oil through. Our intercooler was lined with oil. Switched to a Provent 200 and the intake pipe on the intercooler is clean as.

Either the Lid isnt on/sealing properly/cross-threaded. OR The the relief valve in the lid is opening due to over-pressure (filter oil level too high)
