Thanks for posting this. I’ve been on the fence about getting this one or the J&L finally pulled the trigger and got this one on Amazon a few mins ago. Looking forward to see how yours did

I have a 2017 Yukon, 41000 miles and the whole idea of a catch can on these direct injection engines is to decrease the amount of buildup on the intake valves. What you catch in the can is not going to make its way onto the intake valves. Does it eliminate carbon build up on the intake valves completely? I doubt that, but any amount you eliminate passing over them has to be a plus. Before direct injection the valves would get washed by the fuel passing over them into the cylinders. I am curious to see what the new Chevy/GMC Sixth Generation Small Block induction system will be like. Hopefully they deal with the carbon buildup on the intake valves. We should find out this summer if the newly designed Silverado and Serria has the Sixth Generation Small Block. Looking forward to hearing about this engine. Thanks for the very informative video. The K&N Catch Can looks like a well put together product, should work really well.

Indeed. Well said. I'll be doing a 1,000 mile update soon to see what this K&N oil catch can captured.

@@OptimizedDIY Great, I will be looking forward to your 1000-mile update. I installed a UPR catch can last year. I don't drive the Yukon during the winter months, so all I find in the can is a small amount of what looks like oil. If you live in a colder climate in the winter, you will find a milkier substance in the can. Not sure if this is caused by condensation in the engine or from the heat of the can when engine is off, and condensation within the can itself mixing with the dropped contents. Catch cans do work, and I would recommend one on any direct injection engine. They should have come from the factory with one. In my Yukon, I purchased some transmission rubber lines and some OEM quick release fittings to be able to mount my catch can in the area where an extra battery would have been placed. Added some plastic loom on the lines and a few clips to make the install look like a factory catch can. Turned out really well, and access to the can is much easier to reach. Those quick release factory fittings are not cheap. If I could, I would have used the ones that came with the shorter lines, but the UPR catch can came with an upgrade braded line and there was no way to remove the quick release fittings without doing damage to them. With the longer transmission lines and fittings, I added about 120 dollars more to the install. Oh well, it looks good and that makes it worth the extra costs to me. The main reason I did the change was because the set up with the short lines were in the way of the oil fill cap on the valve cover. If you have a newer truck, your set up may be different. On my 2017 5.3 Yukon and the catch can mount on the fire wall brace bolt, the lines were in the way of the oil fill cap. Anyway, hope your K&N catch can works well for you. I am sure it will, K&N makes great products.

2016 F150 5.0L. I purchased an air oil separator. The hoses in the kit won't fit correctly. The 1st hose is double the size needed. Hose needs to be bent like an S. The 2d hose ( out hose) Needs a 90-degree angle to fit around the hose and gas line. Factory hose is 90 degrees.

[@OptimizedDIY]

I did read that people had problems with the hose length for the F150 model. Thanks for sharing.

That is one helluva power stance.

I have no idea what im watching but i know hes smart

[@OptimizedDIY]

Haha. Debatable.

[@Ilovegirlfights2]

Direct injected engines have an issue where carbon deposits on the air and exhaust passages in the engine. Those carbon deposits happen two ways 1 carbon is a product of combustion 2 the egr its polution control device that recirculates unburned gases to burnt gases back to the engine to burned again. That dirty air has blow by oil from lubrication that evaporated and found its way into combustion area . The catch can is used to collect those contaminants

[@toddjohnson7787]

UPR Oil Air separator is the best in the business! Would be cool if you reviewed one.

Unfortunately UPR will not sell in California.

Please backtest performance to 1983 using simulated data

[@OptimizedDIY]

Haha. I'll get on that.
