Isuzu MU-X Provent 200 Catch Can - Draining my Catch Can after 9000 km

[@LowRangeNick]

Hi Guys! Here's a link to the Western Filters Catch Can! amzn.to/3skTSoj Cheers :)

[@JeffJeno1000]

Best mod I did was installing the Provent 200 at 3000km on the DMax. Drained about half a litre over 20000km. Done monthly it all adds up. Re the ball valve, I bought a pack of rubber chair leg end caps. Cheap and keeps the valve clean.

[@klintgillis6952]

Thanks for the video; narrated and edited really well mate. I just had Ultimate Diesel Tuning do a soot clean, tune and fit one to my Pajero Sport. They recommended checking it after two fuel tanks of fuel after it was fitted to get a gauge on how much oil vapour it’s collecting. I’ve done about 4 tanks of fuel and I’ll be checking it tomorrow now lol.

[@johnsipolis]

Hi Nick, good insight into the benefits of installing a catch can, especially the Provent 200. I've got a 2020 3.2 Pajero I've had since new. At 50.000kms I had to get the egr pulled out and cleaned manually as it was very gunky and the valve was sticky and not opening and shutting properly which was causing it to run a bit off and the motor would run on for a second after turning it off and would stop with a shudder. The dpf light was on too. I had it fixed by a independent reputable diesel workshop as i didn't trust the Mitsubishi dealership. Got a Provent 200 catch can fitted and 10.000kms later and no problems. Bit surprised it happened at low klms.

[@TriNguyen-qq5ul]

After watching your video i made up my mind to get one for my hilux, it done nearly 70k already probably there alot of oil in the intake system

[@Trickster310YT]

I have the Provent in my Jeep Ecodiesel and collect about the same amount you do. I do drain it every month 😄

[@ldhateleyau]

Ryco does a replacement element for the Provent and now make their own version of the Provent filter style catch can.

[@vasilmojsej1884]

Hi Nik, love the video. Would be great to do another at the 40K mark replacing the filter and also ripping the inlet pipe off the intercooler to see if there was any blow by of oil. Thanks.

[@MiniLuv-1984]

Can't argue with that Nick. Thanks mate.

[@MrBong326]

Good Job Mate. Very Informative. All the best.

[@markb3146]

protip: run new hose towards the radiator along the chassis and strap it to the air deflector under the radiator but out of sight or can't be snagged, it should be about a metre long. this gives you more than 400ml of oil to store in the hose. I also cap off the tap end in case the tap gets turned open and you suck a gutful of dusty air or water if u crossed a river.

[@bryancavanagh9522]

Hi love watching the catch can video but have got one on a second fuel filter thanks

[@Stoic-of-Rome]

I realised if I ran a tube down from the catch can and into an old oil can (through a sealed union I fitted in its cap) the oil would simply drain down the tube and into the sealed can to collect. This way the (still pressurised by blow by gases in the second stage of the catch-can) oil can simply gravity drain any time whether the engine is running or not.

[@LowRangeNick]

Great idea!

[@MrKing8899]

Hi Nik, Your vids are prof. I really appreciate your work. I have no knowledge about diesel turbo charge engine at all. I am a user, driver. It takes me a while to understand Why? Catch can is use to filter out the incomplete combustion diesel residue from outlet of the engine before it returns back to the combustion again. Catch can filter out more than 350ml for every 10,000km, it helps to avoid the 350ml of dirty oil trap in the combustion chamber and pollute the environment. This is an amazing idea. Every diesel engine should add one of this. Good job Nik. My question was after adding this catch can, is there any affects to the fuel consumption? Better or worst? ​​​​

[@LowRangeNick]

Thanks alot! No noticeable effect on fuel consumption.

[@LowRangeNick]

Absolutely! Its nice to know the intake system is looked after with the provent.

[@bernardmarden2775]

Thanks for the video Nick. Excuse my ignorance in the following two questions. 1) The hose and fittings into the catch can are quite small so can there be a problem over time as oil residue builds in that line with air flow via the catch can. 2) The DPF is becoming a big issue with class actions already starting, so could adding things such as catch cans into an engine system give manufactures a get out on warranty claims and recalls.

[@LowRangeNick]

It is not an issues with the catch can hoses as they are an oil resistant rubber. They will last a very very long time. As for Dpf issues, i havnt heard of many Isuzus having dpf issues. I know the toyota 2.8l have alot of issues. As for warranty, the dealer can only legally deny warranty if the modification is the direct cause of an issue or fault. So there shouldnt be any issues in regards to the dpf as the catch can isnt directly related.

What's your thoughts about older pre egr engine's like my old td42t?

[@LowRangeNick]

That's a good question. I would still say that it is a great idea to fit a catch can even if you don't have an engine with an egr system as it still prevents the rubber intake hoses from perishing and the intercooler from becoming oil soaked and loosing its efficiency. 😊

[@glenmanning1266]

I have just fitted a Provent 200 to my 2018 ISUZU MUX, I used your very instructional video as a guide, Thanks heaps. I do have a question though, When I fitted mine, no matter how I routed the hoses, they still seem to touch the intercooler pipe. The plumbing on the underside of the intercooler pipe pushes the hose to the catch can up. I decided to wrap some antin friction rubber to the intercooler pipe. Is this necessary of am I just worrying about nothing? Cheers Glen

[@LowRangeNick]

Hey Glen! My hoses dont touch the intercooler pipe at all. Maybe the bracket holding the catch can is not on the right rung. You can adjust how high or low the catch can sits and the angle it sits on by removing the catch can from the stainless bracket then removing the black plastic mount from the catch can, at the back there is a little plastic locking tab and some rungs were you can adjust it up and down. It might just need a bit more adjusting to get it to sit right.

[@chenderson4969]

Glen manning I had the same issue so what I did was rotated the hose anticlockwise on the catch can so it allowed the hose to lay down a bit flatter against the clean/lower hose, that is provided the catch can is in the correct orientation

[@hecticgerva1192]

Its funny how they say this is safe for the engine, even tho they will try and void your warranty if you put a oil catch can on your new car. But if this is shown they should know this saves engines and keep them running for longer.

[@Kol-ingGaming]

asking for an advice. how do you reset fuel filter warning light on an mux or dmax?

[@adslf874yti3q7u4hf83]

I just bought a D-Max with 100k already on the clock. Is it worth the money and effort to install the catch can, or is it too late to bother now?

[@LowRangeNick]

That's a great question. Fitting a catch can now is still a good idea. You should also get the intake checked for carbon build up and cleaned if necessary. Fitting the catch can now will prevent any more oil mixing with the egr gas and soot, but there may already be a build up which would need to be cleaned. 😊

[@Michael_Mears]

[@Cooliemasteroz]

Hey nick that’s really good to follow up on this to see how it’s performing. I saw your episode where you fitted it and at that time I wasn’t sure about it as I didn’t know how much oil it would take out and I heard that diesels use a bit of oil but what you’ve just shown looks reasonable. I’ve never had a diesel before and my 2WD Dmax now has about 7200kms on it and I’ll probably get the oil changed between services anyway as I do short trips at the moment and probably will be for the next six months. The service intervals at 15000kms seems a bit long anyway what do you think about that ?

[@LowRangeNick]

I think it's a great idea to change the oil and filter every 10,000km. A catch can would definately look after the intake on your dmax. If you are planning on keeping it long term it is a great investment in the longevity and reliability of your engine. 😊

[@Cooliemasteroz]

LowRangeNick ok thanks.

Hi Nick, once we drained the catch can do we need to top up engine oil ? please advise

[@LowRangeNick]

You shouldn't need to. But it would be a good time to check the engine oil every time you drain the catch can as general maintenance.

[@budifang]

@@LowRangeNick thanks Nick. just drained mine after 5k

[@Noises]

If you're not pulling that much oil out of yours, congrats, you are running the right oil. If you are pulling out that much, the oil you are using is too thin. It's not "the thinner the better," those numbers indicate ambient operating temperatures, in spite of what oil marketing suits tell you. So unless you're in Tasmania, put the 0w40 back and get 10w50. if it's cold in winter and you drive at night, fine, get some 5wsomething for winter. The thinner the oil, the more blow by you get. Go as high on the first viscosity/SAE number as your morning commute. That's in Celsius because we're talking about Australia.

[@peternelson9457]

Does it make any difference if i have a 2WD, not 4x4? Do you know if there is any difference between the TXC and TC motors. The Provent is advertised for the TXC. Think mine is TC type. 2017 MU-X

Good stuff Nick. I'm up to my 3rd drain on the dmax. Though I've always wondered if taking the oil out will damage the turbo in anyway as its not getting oil inside of it anymore to lubricate stuff or something.. no weird noises from mine yet so I'm probably all good.

[@jjsadv]

The turbo will be fine. Its got its own oil supply. Pumping oil mist into the intake does not lubricate anything, just clags up the intake and intercooler.

This catch-can thing seems to be really catching on

[@FastFless]

Good Video. Looks like you are draining about the same amount of oil as I am each 5,000km in my D-Max. I have a Chinese copy of the Provent 200 - it seems to work equally as well - but installing it without a kit was a real pain. The catch-can has a fine metal mesh filter instead of the paper one in the Provent 200. So occasionally it might need a wash with solvent, instead of having to replace the paper element - not sure if that's good or bad? If you aren't handy at making metal brackets, buying the appropriate installation kit with the Provent 200 is probably worth the expense.

[@LowRangeNick]

That's good to know, interesting that they use a metal style washable filter in the copys, i think the provent filter design may be patented. Maybe that is why. There are a few catch cans on the market with washable filters, they seem to work ok.

I Nick. I'm from Belgium in Europe and I have an ISUZU DMAX with the same engine as yours. In Europe we have a DPD (diesel particulate defuser) exaust which collect the micro particle in order to reduce the pollution and this DPD have to be regenerated regularly (about each 200 miles) increasing the fuel consummation a lot. I guess that one of the reason of such frequent REGEN process is due to the oil going to the engine cylinder but I would like to have your advice before to install a Catch Can. I'm not sure that you have the same depolution system (perhaps you just have adblue). More info on DPD here on page 2-73 www.isuzu.co.uk/owners/owners-manuals/isuzu-d-max-2017 So my question is if you have a DPD, did you saw an improvement in the REGEN cycle (less often) after the installation of the Catch Can ? Thank you for all your video. I'm a fan ! They are very usefull because here in Europe there is almost nothing about ISUZU tutorials. Jeff
