Provent 200 Filter Change / Conversion + Draining Catch Can

[@GregGriffin]

Thanks Nick, just bought a replacement filter & was assuming it was the old style filter. Watching your video realised it was the new filter & needed to do the conversion. The filter did include the new cap so was able to complete easily after watching this.

[@johnmiller7370]

Thanks Nick for this one...I have also installed the Provent catch can and replaced the intercooler pipes on my 2017 DMAX...both as a result of watching your channel. Simple and relatively inexpensive improvements.

[@lappingozoffgrid]

FYI pressure relief valve has relocate to stop releasing to atmosphere which is illegal. It has been illegal long as i know but it has caught up to relocate it. you will notice you wont see oil vapour leaking outside of can. However by-product of that is some of the vapour will be now going back to system bypassing filter should there be too much pressure build up in the can.

[@sphinx5101]

Hi Nick, are u able to take off the return hose going from the catch can to the intake and see if there is any oil in there at all ? A few people are saying they don’t stop all the oil and a lot gets into the intake still can u check and post a video ?

[@darrenstledger1954]

Great vid Nick. Is it true you can still put the new filter in the older style provent 200 can and just leave the pressure relief valve in the lid?

[@charlesgalea69]

Thanks for the video today Nick.

[@PJSinohin]

Just got the old version. But haven't installed. Thanks for sharing.

[@travellingdave80]

You can wash the old one with degreaser (I use k&n filter cleaner), then soak it in warm water. Residual oil should float to the top. You can dry it out and re-use or put a new one in and have a spare to use after the next clean.

Hey man. I'm waiting on rims to put the same falkens but in a 265/65r16! I've heard nothing but good things about them. Ledgend!

[@LowRangeNick]

Yep! They are doing great so far! Very happy with them. Nice choice.

[@MudducksTouringAustralia]

Good stuff Nick I should check which version I have. Cheers Steve

[@reecebro4146]

What’s the benefits of doing the conversion ? Is it purely to prevent the gases venting to atmosphere threw the top relief port if the filter blocks up?

[@LowRangeNick]

Correct!

[@TriNguyen-qq5ul]

Hi nick what's the benefits of the new conversion

[@LowRangeNick]

It's a legal thing so that the catch can doesnt vent to the atmosphere if it ever gets blocked.

[@rezuuz]

@@LowRangeNick Thank you for your information sir .

[@bisdakcebuspride3712]

Hello mate, pls comment the link for the filter and kit.. thanks much ❤️ Nice video

[@colintranter5162]

Hey Nick. My MY17 Colorado has 97K, I've heard that it's best to put a catch can on from as close to new as possible, is it worth the trouble of installing one now and if so what other pipes need changing etc, etc. Cheers.

[@LowRangeNick]

Definately worth doing. You may need to just have an intake clean put through the vehicle if there is carbon build up in the intake.

[@velislavnikolov909]

Hi nice video, I have a question is this provent aplicable also for petrol gdi engines? I previous use it on my old diesel suv and I was very happy on it. But now I bought a brand new dacia duster with 1.3 tce petrol gdi engine and I am searching for a working oil catch can. Can I use mann provent on my petrol dacia or I have to search for something else. Please advice some other oil catch cans if the provent is not for petrol engines. Thanks

[@LowRangeNick]

I think it should be fine to run a provent on your petrol vehicle.

[@omar8514]

Provent 200 over kill for the petrol engines as long as u get a catch can with same I.D of the pcv hose and it matches the catch can I.d your all good to go

[@victorhare3707]

Hi Nick, I'm installing my Provent today...the new version with the relief valve in the filter. The issue that I see is that the new relief valve vents to the drain tube. However the drain tube is sealed shut by the drain valve at the end of the tube. -We of course want to prevent crankcase overpressure resulting in blown seals if the provent filter gets blocked. -If the relief valve opens and attempts to vent to the drain tube, but the drain tube is sealed shut......won't we still have the crank case over pressure problem? -Thinking of making a small hole in the drain tube at the top of a bend. Oil will still flow down the bottom of the bend and be collected, but pressure would be relieved out of the hole if the filter's relief valve ever did open. Any thoughts?

[@LowRangeNick]

It releases pressure back into the lower hose so just recycles back into the intake if over pressure occurs. It will be fine.

[@victorhare3707]

@@LowRangeNick Ah yes, I just realised that the diameter of the bottom of the filter is smaller than the diameter of the bottom of the catch can housing. Yes, I see now that if the relief valve opens, it just flows AROUND the bottom of the filter and back out the normal exit. Thanks mate.

[@WillConroy1]

Great video Nick, my catch can has heaps of water in the drain pipe. Is that normal? Also how's the hard pipe kit going, is it worth doing the conversion? Cheers

[@LowRangeNick]

Hi Will! It is normal for there to be condensation in the catch can especially if you do lots of short trips. The hard pipes are going great! Feels more responsive, boost sounds louder and they look great!

[@WillConroy1]

@@LowRangeNick awesome cheers Nick! Might get myself a Christmas present 👍

[@bill8757]

Hi Nick if I order one of these Provent 200 systems for my 2019 MUX will they automatically send me the new version or do I need to specify. Do you recomend someone to buy them off. Cheers Bill

[@LowRangeNick]

You will just have to check with the place you are purchasing the catch can off. I just got mine directly from Western Filters.

[@everdayprospectandcarryon]

Hi nick great video mate. Off topic just wondering what sort of diff breathers you fitted to the mux?

[@LowRangeNick]

Hi Craig, I just got a kit off eBay.

[@wayneoccy]

Hi Nick, I bought my Dmax with 40+K and no catch can, one of the first mods I did. Would you be able to show the process of doing an intake clean to make sure all is ok for the future. We all enjoy your site with the detailed processes and informative explanations, keep them coming. Wayne

[@LowRangeNick]

Hey Wayne! There shouldnt be much build up at all after only 40k. If you have a catch can fitted now you won't have any issues. You can use a can or 2 of threebond diesel intake cleaner to help break down anything that may be there if you are really concerned.

[@nataliewaters2704]

Hi Nic, I’m awaiting my 2023 Mux and what is this can supposed to do and will it cancel my new car warranty by doing this

[@LowRangeNick]

Hi Natalie, it may affect your new car warranty. I would recommend waiting until your vehicle is out of warranty to fit one. It basically removes the oil from the crank case ventilation system before it goes through the intake.

[@TriNguyen-qq5ul]

Hi Nick , really like your videos help me alot, just a quick question do u recommend using other filters brand it alot cheaper compared to genuine hammel

[@LowRangeNick]

Hi Tri! Thanks alot. I personally wouldnt use a different filter in the provent 200.

[@TriNguyen-qq5ul]

@@LowRangeNick can u pls send me link for new conversion filter thank

[@dusty_rhodes]

That’s a good system.

[@baron30001]

Hey Nick. I see you have changed your tyres to at's now. What brand and size did you go for and are you happy with them?

[@LowRangeNick]

I sure have! Running the 275/70r17 Falken Wildpeak AT3. They are awesome soo far! Really quiet on road and grippy in the wet! Haven't had a chance to give them a proper test off-road yet though.

[@baron30001]

Nice. Watching with interest! Any trouble with rubbing etc with tyres that big? What offset are you running on your wheels?

[@LowRangeNick]

@@baron30001 the tyres only just touch on the body mount at full lock. I m running 17x8.5" rims pos 7.4mm offset.

[@baron30001]

Hey Nick. Are you still happy with the tyres you chose?

[@LowRangeNick]

@@baron30001 Yeah they are great! Nice and quiet on road and grippy in the wet. Great offroad as well!

[@hansonlim1769]

how long do you change a new filter？

[@LowRangeNick]

Every 40k kms. 👍

[@Mark_vids]

Is it critical if the catch can is not 100% level when installed?

[@TheAthavanleon]

Mate Question - Do you need a catch catch if you dont do offroad ? If your vehicle is stock and you use only for city drive ?

[@simyob]

Yes

[@craigbuchan316]

Another great vid mate. Just as a query. I noticed in your catch can installation and draining vids . You had the hose quite longer. Stating it was just a measure to stop any possible drip from the valve. And that some manufacturers provide a cap. I see in this vid, you've trimmed the hose length down. Has this particular valve proved that it seals quite well? Or have you found a cap for it?

[@LowRangeNick]

Hey Craig! I have trimmed the line down shorter now. It means I have to drain it a little more frequently then before but makes it easier to drain. The ball valve hasn't leaked, I will probably get a little cap for the hose to prevent crap getting in it though.

[@tonyp4665]

Hi Nick. I have an Isuzu and the updated filter. Is there any way I could have had a big oil leak out of the provent 200 release valve? 20,000k in the filter. Thoughts?

[@LowRangeNick]

Usually only if there is a blockage in the filter it will vent through the valve. May be a good idea to replace the filter and see if it fixes the issue.

[@2011timothygriffin]

where did you get the conversation kit?

[@LowRangeNick]

Western filters

[@Nomadic_Naz]

Do you still loop the drain pipe like old video or have you cut it back?

[@LowRangeNick]

Na, i just cut it off shorter.

[@DiF44]

Cada cuanto cambia el filtro ?

[@robbiecryer]

If repco and auto barn sell these catch cans. You would think thay'd sell the filters as well. As i would rather replace the filter, As to clean it in kero. I don't on a Isuzu I own a pejero ns 2008. But i like your utube channel. Cheers

Tried cleaning mine in diesel, It was a lot of work and it ended up fluffy, I dont recommend it.

Hi just so you're aware provent 200 IV (Internally Vented)

[@PradeepRajasekaran-o5r]

That's actually IV (not 4 but internally vented :-) )

It must be working well then!
