OIL CATCH CAN A TOYOTA TACOMA 1GR-FE ENGINE???

[@ethanromero3442]

I bought one a few months back for my 2008 v6 Tacoma. It really does work. My mpg has increased. I can't say drastically but I take much less trips to the gas station. Got mine off Amazon for $30. Probably my most favorite little mod.

[@grezikpainting]

Still working well? Link?

[@JodBronson]

If you have a lot of Blow-By or a least when you look into your Oil Cap and see a lot of Moisture when Engine is Hot or see a lot of Moisture in the Muffler/Exhaust.... This will help a lot especially Starting issues! I installed this in my Dad's Truck after seeing a lot of Moisture in the Oil Cap / Muffler / Exhaust and Hard Start of Humid / Cold / Rain Morning / Nights. Now the Trucks starts right away and works really smooth too. BTW... I see my Dad always have problems starting in the Morning or when Rain out. I also see a lot of Steam coming out of Oil Cap when the Engine gets Hot! Once I install the Oil Catch Can with a Filter for venting, somehow it solved it, especially Hard Starting in the Morning / Nights!

[@hungrynapps]

i swear i see this comment in every oil catch can video

[@JodBronson]

He's correct about the Hose. I just got one and install it and a week later.... I found that the Hose can't stand the Heat and it was collapsing if you have the Car run for 30 minutes plus.... Due to Heat! What I did was the same in the Video and got 4 Feet of Rubber Hose with Braid from Home Depot and works great!

[@temosgarage]

Home depot hose is air hose, still braided but I don't know if the rubber can withstand the harsh vapor chemicals from the PCV. I recommend using vacuum hose (cheap) or even transmission oil line (more expensive though)

[@JodBronson]

+Five Foot - Well I used the Vacuum Line / Hose that came with the Kit. But after an Hour Drive, that thing was " Soft " as hell. I got scared from collapsing. Although you are right about the " Rubber Hose " from Home Depot that I got.... Maybe it will not stand the Oil / Gas, etc... I guess time will tell in my case. But it sure brings me to that attention for sure to watch out when I empty my Can. Thankx for the idea!

[@temosgarage]

The hose that comes with most of the catch can kits are crap. I've bought a 2nd catch can and this one came with good quality hose so that's good. I am working on a video showing an update of using the catch can. 10,000+ miles and the catch can works great. I am installing a 2nd catch can for the passenger side breather hose on my Tacoma. Ill be doing a video of that install too :)

[@JodBronson]

+Five Foot - On the Passenger Side, I just used a Cheap Filter and " VENT " it out, LOL. Although it smells... But it sure does help to Start the engine quicker and smoother too. NOTE: Use as " SHORT " hoses as you can. It really needs to breathe from my experience. I had smaller hose on the Passenger side, and it was kinda rough... But since I changed to bigger hose and shorter distance, it's a lot better now. :D

[@DocFeelGood4]

That is your PCV, its to relieve crank case pressure caused due to blow by. These engines are designed with this feature in mind. If you do not relieve crank case pressure then you blow gaskets and seals. These are not performance engines so this small bit is not an issue. Also keep in mind that DRIVING HABITS MATTER!! 1. Allow your engine to get to operating temp before use. 2. Long idle times are bad for engines.

[@temosgarage]

I drive like an old grampa, or so ive been told (im 28) my engine rarely sees above 2000 RPM unless i HAVE to do it. I let the engine get to about 60-70 degrees before i start moving. The engine does run alot smoother after installing this catch can.

[@JodBronson]

+DocFeelGood4 - Hahahahahahaha, wait til it gets hot before use. Are you kidding? The Niggas around where I live... Jump in and Go and if the Car sits.. We Jump and Go in the next Car. LOL. NOTE: When you are in Traffic, you have no choice but to sit and " Idle ". WAKE UP !!!!

[@moose7065]

I always questioned if catch cans really worked. I done a dual set of cans on my supercharged Mustang Cobra a few years back. I was sold after that. I just installed one on my 2020 Tacoma. Only after 2k miles it has oil in the bottom of the can. They are well worth the money and I will have one on every vehicle that I'll own.

[@temosgarage]

Moose for sure! I have them on every vehicle. I’ve also put stainless steel pot scrub inside the catch cans to help with blowby gas/fumes cling better and catch more this way. So far so good, I’ve noticed an increase in the amount it catches by having the pot scrub in there.

[@vaskamp]

@@temosgarage I have 2 questions for you. what exactly is pot scrubs and the second question is can you just unscrew the catch can instead of taking the bracket off the car?

[@The_Touring_Jedi]

In Eastern Europe decades ago there was no catch can, they just took one rubber hose and let it drip under the car for the sake of the engine...🤣🤣🤣

[@abh1945]

Great video! Please till us what is the pipe size and fitting size thanks

[@temosgarage]

You’ll need 3/8” ID hose Vacuum hose will be just fine. Cheaper than transmission hose.

[@WoodLox]

At 2k rpm seems like much blow by. Keeps the throttle body clean and protects harmful deposits from recycling.

[@temosgarage]

Blad The woods it’s been doing great! Do you have one installed on your vehicle(s)

[@WoodLox]

Five Foot Honestly bought one, but invented my own crankcase valve system with a pvc on an engine not equipped as a one way. Disperses blow by but not oil. Routed lines to relieve pressure and innovate.

[@oldowl4290]

Thanks for the post, it's well explained. I've been doing various tune-ups to my old Tacoma and had read about this then found your video. I'm definitely going to do this.

[@temosgarage]

Hey! Glad it helped you. Thanks for watching. If you have any question feel free to email me :)

[@RoyFJ65]

This is the reason I put a oil catch can on my 2016 FJ Cruiser. I don't idle excessively and exclusively use synthetic oil from day one but even then just like your experience I have always put catch cans in all my vehicles be it gasoline or diesel. Your video proves it conclusively.

[@temosgarage]

It is nice to know the intake is being kept clean, clean intake valves on direct fuel injected engine, the cats lasting longer, undiluted fuel, etc. :) Thanks for watching!

[@RoyFJ65]

@@temosgarage Best part is you don't have to clean the intake tract with seafoam every three to four years.

[@domesticatedwolverine4152]

Wait, so you only did one catch can? I recommend you install another catch can on the passenger side. The pass. side also ventilates your crankcase at a much higher volume rate than the PCV side. The PCV side is only ventilating during idle (no load) and the non-PCV side ventilates during a load or when the throttle is opened.

[@temosgarage]

Yes, just one can on the drive side. Do you have two cans installed? I have thought about installing a 2nd can but after researching, the drive side (pcv side) is the one that produces the most blow-by gas.

[@domesticatedwolverine4152]

Yes I have two installed and it helps alot on long trips or when I tow.

[@temosgarage]

Can you send me pictures of your oil catch can setup? Send them to [e-mail]

[@elysianfields6350]

Put one on my 2013 Prius V and get about 10 cc per 1000 miles using valvoline prosyn. Better to discard the oil then to burn it. Next step is to put an "oil catch can" on a egr tube to keep the intake clean from exhaust gas."crud".

[@JodBronson]

+elysian fields - 100% agree !!! EGR, PCV and Breather Tube... They all need their own Catch Can !!!

[@elysianfields6350]

Plus add a few ccs of intake manifold cleaner to the catch can!

[@JodBronson]

+elysian fields - OMG, we will have too many Hoses... LMFAO !!!

[@martinoreilly3931]

great video. i was trying to figure out if my 1uzfe na would benefit. this video was perfect for me and i just bought a catch can. many thanks :)

[@temosgarage]

Hey! I am glad the video helped you. I definitely recommend using a catch can regardless of engine type/size. Let me know if you have any question with your catch can.

[@teddiazjr.6223]

Good video Any reason why you did not add a/s mesh to the bottom can? How’s the occ holding up in the winter

[@temosgarage]

No reason during the making of the video. I now put some in the can. It’s been doing great. No issues to this date. Absolutely recommend.

[@shawnwhite2572]

Catch cans are mostly needed on DI engines, such as the one in the 3rd gen Tacoma. I was still surprised to see that much came out though.

[@temosgarage]

Shawn White agree with you. 3oz is a lot and I wasn't expecting that much. I've ordered another catch can for the passenger side.

[@JodBronson]

+Five Foot - I only installed it on the PCV since I see a lot of Oil there. Should I get another Can and install it on the Passenger Side? Currently, I just vented out with a Filter, is that bad? LOL

[@drakeforte5]

How did you connect in it? Pcv out to in of catch can and out to manifold? Tx

[@temosgarage]

df5 PCV valve on rear valve cover or driver side to catch can to intake manifold.

[@mikedicke5505]

Nice. I just ordered the ADD catch can for my 2012 Tacoma. The only thing I’m concerned about is fabricating a bracket to hold the thing. Once I get it I’ll have to make one. Reading all 32 pages on TW sold me on this. Good job.

[@temosgarage]

Hey man, its a great product. The hardest part was bending the piece of steel to the shape i needed it; which wasnt so bad. Everything else was piece of cake. Great stuff :)

[@mikedicke5505]

Five Foot I’ve gotten some stuff out of mine after a thousand miles. Really liking the setup. Cheers 👌🏼

[@IvanRossS]

What do you think about 2014 Toyota rav 4 should I install one of those too? Thank you

[@temosgarage]

I think it would be a great idea. I personally have installed oil catch cans on my parents vehicles and siblings vehicles; a total of 5 vehicles running oil catch cans. They are all naturally aspirated too. I know a lot of people will say its dumb to put one BUT i disagree with them. having a catch can will keep your intake, throttle body, intake valves, plugs, and cats clean. Not to mention, an oil catch can will help your gasoline from getting diluted also! So yes, I think you should put one. Thank you for watching!

[@IvanRossS]

@@temosgarage thank you for quick reply. Check my channel too. I have alot of stuff there. I'll order me catch can too.

[@temosgarage]

You have pretty cool content on your channel too! I have uploaded videos other than working on cars, but seems like working on vehicles is where the views are Lol I've got a few home repair videos to edit, similar to what you've uploaded.

[@jamespqnguyen]

Thanks for sharing. I have a 1grfe in my FJ and have a catch can coming. Did you ever upgrade to a dual can setup?

[@temosgarage]

Haven't had time do it. I've bought a second catch can, just no time to do it lol maybe this summer! thanks for watching!!

[@Korang500]

What size bolt did you use to secure the bracket to the fender?

[@temosgarage]

I can't remember. I had to look it up on Tacomaworld... If you have Facebook, join Toyota Tacoma Enthusiast, you should be able to ask there and get the size.

[@giuliocalvelli3202]

Now remove the exit hose and see if any bad oil has made it back into the intake. That will tell you if this unit is good or bad. jmo

[@temosgarage]

Almost 10,000 miles of using this catch can, the return hose is clean :)

[@ryanfunk9170]

I'm researching for my 2016 4runner. I know this engine might be similar. What oil do you use? What type of driving (short trips, long trips, city, highway)?? Thanks!

[@temosgarage]

Ryan Funk I use Mobil1 full synthetic 5w-30. I change the oil every 5,000 miles. It is my only truck so it gets driven just about anywhere. Fixing to take her on my trip to Colorado next week. Will be putting about 1,500 miles when I’m done with the trip. I highly recommend this can. It’s cheap and works great.

[@sneakysquanto2]

How did you mount it? Thinking about getting one for my 2007 Toyota 4Runner. Thanks!

[@temosgarage]

On my Tacoma, there are 2 free spots on the firewall, between the fuse box and the ABS brake system. Dont remember the exact bolt size though. Then I got a piece of flat metal from Home Depot, bent it to my like and needs, cut it, paint it and done. Really the hard part was bending the piece of metal so 1, the can would mount as vertical as possible and 2 so it would line up against the firewall bolt holes.

[@royabadis3714]

is the bracket come with the catch can?

[@temosgarage]

The black bracket that mounts to the engine firewall does not. I had to make that myself. The purple bracket on the back of the can that bolts to the black bracket, yes it comes with the catch can.

[@themotofixery]

Do you know what size inside diameter hose is on the tacoma?

[@themotofixery]

Sorry i see you said 3/8. Thankyou!

[@mongerz4732]

Did u make your own bracket?

[@temosgarage]

Yes I did, bought a piece of flat iron from Home Depot, bent it to my needs, drilled 4 holes, painted it.

[@drakeforte5]

Where did you get you mounting bracket from? I might have to do the same thing you did. Thank you very much for your help.

[@temosgarage]

df5 I made it myself. Bout it at Home Depot and then bent it to my need at home, drilled 4 holes. I’m happy with it.

[@kito1san]

Just make sure you change the PVC valve on the output side of the block. Judging by the amount of oil you are collecting, that valve is not working properly and might have got stuck in open position.

[@temosgarage]

KIT TSANG the valve gets replaced every 30k miles. Cleaned every 15k miles with brake cleaner. Never had any issues with a stuck valve. Since they’re really cheap and super easy to replace, I replace it every 30k miles.

[@themotofixery]

Thanks for the video and link! I might do this to my tacoma!

[@temosgarage]

You should do it. I haven't had any issues at all since being installed. As a matter of fact, the engine runs a lot smoother now, though I do use only non-ethanol gasoline so that helps it too. Turbo charged or not, this thing works great!!!

[@charredskeleton]

Do you have a turbo?

[@temosgarage]

No, just a naturally aspirated engine.

[@charredskeleton]

Five Foot thanks for the reply. Wow that much in the catch can on a naturally asperated.

[@temosgarage]

the catch can just works that great :) I was surprised to find that much oil in the can also. Several ppl on facebook this mod was pointless on a naturally aspirated engine. I beg to differ!

[@namrur2]

The main an major issue is to dispose the burned oil, as the common enthusiast driver don't understand how much this oxidized oil effects the environment. I think you should refer to the right way to treat this toxic. If some stupid people will empty this to the ground, trash or to the sewage, they are poisoning our drinking water, soil and whole environment. In many countries a wrong disposal involves in a criminal charge as well. Just take this to any car workshop. Most of them won't care to collect this used oil in their appropriate containers for recycling.

[@temosgarage]

I dispose the used oil and oil filter at the local recycling center.

[@brandimundo1785]

Dang! That's crazy!

[@temosgarage]

Brandi Brown as crazy as a bucket of shrimps!

[@williamsantiago7303]

Me personally if one installs this in a non gdi engine then I think it's a big WASTE of money but if you do have a gdi I think it's a great ideal, just my opinion.

[@temosgarage]

William Santiago cool. It hasn’t been a waste of money for my Tacoma at all. Actually very beneficial for it for the fuel-air mixture. It is not being diluted by the blow-by gasses from the crank case. Better performance with this can overall. Thanks for watching 👍🏽
