FYI for everyone. The white tape is for water. The yellow tape is for oil and gas.

[@berryfairy68]

Such a clean job 😊 Made getting this less intimidating. Thank you.

[@andrewdomenitzdmd]

You said the closer the better and I say that the further the better downhill from the source of fumes because the vapor can condense down the length of the hoses. Down to the can and up back to the intake manifold vapor can condense out of the air going to and from the can. That oil can then run as liquid back to the can. Also, the can being further away would help it be cooler and help condense the vaporized oil/fuel/water from the crankcase. It seems like common sense to me, but maybe I am totally wrong.

[@Chris-dr4bl]

[@graywoulf]

I thank you sir for the instructional video. I like how you used the original hose in this installation.

[@thecarman3693]

A stress-less tight bend elbow (90 degrees or so) can be achieved with a pre-formed hose from a good auto parts store in just about any diameter and length. Then just cut it where it works best and place a barb-to-barb hose connector to another piece of hose running to the fitting at the other end. The final construction will look OEM as all bends will conform neatly around corners and the small section of connector between the hoses will be barely noticeable. And if you're really going for a factory look, use constant tension hose clamps all around --- it may even fool the dealer shop crew.

[@81Todd]

I don’t know if you’ll be able to even see or reply to this comment considering this video is seven years old but I have basically the same car as you and the exact same engine. It’s a 2019 Hyundai Tucson. It’s exactly the same under the hood I did exactly what you did except my catch can comes with a breather that can be attached to the lid of the catch can or you can choose not to use the breather and screw in a bolt that makes it a sealed catch can I tried both ways the first time I installed it exactly the way that you did but I left the breather on top of the catch can then started up the car and it ran fine except for a lot of vacuum noise that you can hear being dispersed through the filter from under the hood. It was pretty loud at idle. I took it down the street and drove it around. Made sure the engine got up to temperature. Everything was fine and then when I got back to my house and pulled up and put the car and park and I let it idle, the idle was up really high like it was idling at 2100 RPM Which is very high for an idol so I figured it had to do with where I had the breather placement so I decided to take the catch can breather off of the top of the can and screw in the bolt that came with it essentially making it a sealed catch can. Then I removed the hose that goes from the valve cover to the air intake and basically plugged the air intake with a piece of rubber and put the breather hose on the exit side of the valve cover and threw the plastic cover back on and now the car seems to run perfectly fine any reason to why?

[@imstricken06]

That breather was causing a vacuum leak. I’d bolt up that hole and install the catch can exactly how I did. I have 109,000 miles on it without any issues.

[@drewthompson7457]

I recently added a catch can to my 2013 hyundai 2 l turbo. The installation was similar to shown here. In approx 3 weeks, it has collected a couple of drops of oil, and almost a half inch of dirty water. I assume the water would go out the exhaust, but that dirt might cause some future problems. I bought the can for $35, and consider it worth while, if you want to keep your car past it's warranty period.

[@freebehindbars8654]

Clean install. Only thing I’d recommend is mounting the inlet of the catch can lower than the output of the pvc valve. It’ll keep it from pulling in the lines.

[@connievoigt3228]

pulling or pooling?

[@TheMopar97]

Shouldn’t need to as it’s a vacuum system which is pulling (against gravity always)

[@orlandocolom]

I did the install today, 2015 sonata with the exact same 2.4 Gdi engine. It feels like it's an air restriction, doesn't happen with yours?

[@TheOriginalSchulzi]

Thanks for the Video. Shame manufacturers are blind to forums where their inbuilt failures can be researched post release. I have 2010 Suzuki F9Q engine (Diesel). My car's PCV is direct from the oil separator (at crank case not rocker cover (might be because its a diesel)) and is directly in contact with plastic pipe from air filter turbo intake. I also have a pipe from side of oil separator called "oil vapor recirculation valve" (according to manual). Where does the catch can go. 1) between PCV and turbo intake or 2) between PCV valve and oil separator?

[@ProNoober8]

The reason oil catch cans aren't included in the design of the engine is to limit the usable lifetime of the engine to just 10 or so years. They need to ensure the intake valves of the engine get gunked up over time, forcing the customer to dispose of the car after just 10 years and buy a replacement car. If they included oil catch cans in the design, the engines would last more than twice as long.

[@BoogieDownProduction]

You can media blast the valves though

[@MrSunSetts]

Yes but he is commenting on the fact that the auto industry is making engines that are designed to fail.

[@joshuamorin2762]

The auto industry has to sell cars to survive. Long gone are the days of making quality to last. That's why no one orders vehicles anymore. They have to justify the 100 plus cars sitting on dealer lots.

[@TheJcrandazzo]

Toyota taught America long time ago that planned obsolescence does not work. Cars last much longer today than they ever did.

[@jonathanbywater2063]

Very amusing. But the truth is that most people would not want the bother of emptying them

[@williamsantiago7303]

Great video, very informative thank you. Question, is this can specifically for this engine and why didn't ya get the one with a breather on top, what's the difference? I appreciate your time sir, take care.

[@jb6574]

The breather on top of the catch can isn't necessary on non boosted cars. Even cars with turbos don't need unless running high boost. The breather is for excessive crank case pressure that gets by the pcv which won't happen at all with an na car

[@jblohm821]

Just installed the same catch can on my 2.4 liter Tuscan. I also put the scotch Brite stainless steel scrubbers inside. How have they held up for you? Any degradation or break down or corrosion from the acidity of the vapors? Do they seem to noticeably catch more oil and moisture? Thanks. Great video!

[@intelin123]

So what exactly does this can do??

[@hosseinvs2224]

What should I do if my Breather Hose (the one just like this hose, on the right side of engine, going from intake tube to the valve cover...) is GUNKY ??? I mean, That shouldn't get gunky as it feed fresh air TO the Valves not FROM them

[@mayk3lll]

Hossein VS all cars do this even on the fresh air side because of pressure.

V6 engine design needs this also?

[@trevorolson997]

The 3.3 is also a GDI (Gas Direct Injection) which means the fuel injectors directly inject fuel into the cylinder, not the intake manifold. If injectors were spraying fuel into the intake manifold, the fuel mist of vapors clean the back side of the valves, helping prevent the valve carbon built up (coking). Longterm, I think all GDI engines should probably have some sort of oil vapor elimination system installed.
