Are you running a Catch Can on your Jeep?? Jeepwave

[@noehernandez3676]

What is the link of the extra hose that I need to buy for my JK?

[@ds6491]

3.6 is total garbage. I had oil in the intake on my old motor and now on the rebuilt one I still get oil in the intake. What a joke built by Chrysler.

[@timmyl2005]

Timmy L 0 seconds ago Not to pick on your Video its not a bad idea, But that catch can is junk. i understand its supper cheap. but as they say buy once cry once. and im not talking about hundreds of $$ that steel ball has no effect on th oil it does not filter anything as long as its open like that the oily air can still get sucked right past. spend $35 on amazon or wherever. find yourself a 2 stage catch can that has a drain on the bottom. first off its going to do a way better job. second do you want to have to keep checking the dipstick to see if it needs to be drained? or would you rather just open a valve at the bottom and drain the caught oil from the PCV Valve . I dont know about you but open a valve drain out crap keep it moving is a lot easier to do then unscrew that cheap steel wool ball that honestly does not filter the air going threw the canister it is not forced to go threw that ball. even if it did it is not filtering anything . better with 2 stage what you catch in that can is only a small amount of what you would be getting if you had a 2 stage catch can. sorry if this is a run on sentence i don't like typing on this little thing. but like i said i gain nothing telling you this. but do as you wish. Good idea Adventure Dex. just the wrong part for the Job. you can mount the 2 stage wherever under the hood then put a barbed fitting and a clear section of hose with a on off valve then when you see the clear hose get oily shit in it just drain it. whatever you take out of the can its a good idea to pour it in a Nice Lake ir clean waterway ( OK OK IM JOKING ABOUT THE LAST PART JUST PUT IT IN A JUG DISPOSE OF IT AT AUTOZONE OR ADVANCED OR WHEREVER YOU TAKE WASTE OIL ) LOL. EVERYTHING ELSE I SAID IS TRUE. Do your homework you will see what i mean there should be 2 stages inside they make so many cheap ones that do the job the main thing is a drain in the bottom. screw that dipstick and having to open it all the time.

[@jbhk7977]

Nice one my friend, I just came by this video looking for info about the location of the oil catch can. I have the 4.0 TJ and was wondering where to put it. There's a PCV line on the front of the valve cover, but also a CCV line on the rear of the valve cover. Both the PVC an CCV go to the intake manifold. The PCV goes via the throttle body into the intake manifold, the CCV goes directly to the intake manifold. My question is, where to put the catch can?

[@heatmizer-jim6762]

[@adventuredex]

They must of sold out! 😵 and yes love the solar panel! Never had a dead battery again!

[@JWard2]

Strange. The v6 penstar isn't direct injected. Interesting you installed an oil catch can anyways.

[@SuzukiKid400]

You are correct. There is no reason to install this on a port injected motor. Bunch of nonsense this video is.

[@63Imp283]

Boosted and high compression engines have more blowby and still ingest that crap. But yes direct injected engines are affected the worst

[@mkp1214]

For normal driving the catch can doesn’t affect much for these. However, when off-roading, if you go up a steep Incline the oil can pool and cause a lot of blow-by, which is why you see jeeps spew out of smoke when going up a really steep hill

[@max28197]

Nice vid. Do u know if install is possible on diesel engine.

[@adventuredex]

Wow those tires sticking out beyond the body would never pass inspection in the state of maine.You are only allowed about an inch and mudflaps would be required.The back tires could easily throw up a rock into the windshield of the car behind you.

[@mikeslaven8417]

Love the videos but hopefully you can clear this up for me. Jks are port injected not direct injected , there would be no build up as any oil would mix with the fuel and clean itself off the valves as opposed to the direct injection which blow by would cause a build up. Not arguing but love to learn.

[@adventuredex]

Hey Mike, thanks for the comment. I believe the 3.6L penstar engines are direct injection which is the reason you can find oil in the intake. It’s not that big a deal in the large scheme of things but I thought it would be good to prevent any further long term build up. What engine do you have?

[@mikeslaven8417]

@@adventuredex same in a 2016 but from everywhere I read it’s a port injection. Di’s I could definitely see the advantage for the catch can to help prevent build up on the valves. Thanks for the reply. Keep up the good work, I have definitely used a few of your ideas. Enjoy the post.

[@tileman17]

Ok so just did mine and I want to give some real-world insight into how it's going to go and the workarounds, first, the 1/2 inch house is a good idea BUT hears the thing it really does not like being shoved onto the hard-line! what I did was to things one put a little dish soap on the hard-line and the other is warm up the end of the hose with a heat gun or hairdryer whatever it takes to soften up the hose and even then it's a little hard but doable, 2nd the male end going out of the intake or manifold whatever has to be 5/8 and after trying everything was like nope I'll break it off then that's it so what I did was take the rubber boot you pulled off shove the new hose in the small end after the heat the boot up just a bit then just put it back on, you can put a clap on it if you want I didn't but you want it have at it, the last thing was where to mount I went with zip ties off the air conditioner lines it looks right is not rubbing anything easy to get at its better then having it bump or rub on the brake lines hope this helps

I think the steel scrubby(or a chunk of it) is actually supposed to go inside the part on the top with all the holes in it. It should unscrew. That way the air will be forced through it and hopefully collecting more of the oil out of the air.

[@chuckisbusy]

Check your air intake valve... if it’s dry/clean/no sign of oil this is a waste of money. The Wranglers generally don’t have GDI engines, so i don’t see how they benefit from this. If your having oil blow by... something fishy is going on or your driving habits are.... Just saying...

[@apexpredator_jku]

FYI...The Pentastar use 2 separate PCV valve outputs. There is one for each cylinder bank located at the rear of each cylinder head against the fire wall. Technically, if you have a Pentastar you're only catching a portion of oil from 1 side of the engine with a single catch can. Right PCV output: Injects oil into the intake manifold just behind the throttle body Left PCV output: Injects oil into the airbox and has to enter the intake manifold through the throttle body

[@adventuredex]

No way! Thanks for sharing! I’ll definitely research this! JeepWave 👋🏼

[@Roberto68n]

@@adventuredex the results of your research can make a short update video of this topic. Please consider.

[@MicDropBBQ]

The hose that goes into the airbox is a suction hose that goes into the engine, I thought. Run your engine and pull that hose. You should feel the suction going into the valve cover, not pushing out of the valve cover. The blow-back is usually from one one valve cover with the PCV, I thought. I suppose I could always test and not guess.

[@fredfabris7187]

This comment is false. The right bank has the oil separated on the exhaust cam. That connects to the pcv valve and fitting. The left head has the fresh air intake. Manifold vacuum pulls the vapors out of the block through the PCV valve, the fresh air intake allow a path to keep the crankcase from going into a vacuum. If you have oil at your left head fitting, you have engine trouble, too much blow-by and the PCV can’t keep up.
