Oil catch can?

Silverado-Hareek · February 11, 2015

Ordered the mishimoto oil catch can. The non baffled one. I assume I can just out some steel wool in it for the condensate.

How difficult are these to install? I've installed a cold air intake on my '99 once but that's about my extent for truck mechanic'ing ability.

I've never done anything to a vehicle ever other than change a headlight bulb and I managed to install my RX catch can. I know you can do it haha

Hahaha awesome. I've grown up on our farm and can do anything to a tractor and farm equipment, or old farm trucks. But these new vehicles always make me nervous that I'm going to eff something up and have to pay a professional to fix.

Duct tape and baling wire won't fix these trucks I bet.

I hear yea but it's pretty simple. Some guys say it takes 30 minutes to do. It took me more like an hour because I was going very slow and taking care not to harm anything but it really is a pretty easy job.

I watched the YouTube video on the installation, and it took me about 20 minutes.

Just to report on what I have noticed with my truck after the can install. 1 At 1233 miles i drained less than 1oz of water and oil. 2 I noticed that the inside of my tailpipe is not sooty anymore so it's burning cleaner. 3 The clean side filter had a tad of moister in it but not at the Airade MIT fitting. 4 I also fixed the buzzing with rubber isolators.

When i intially spoke about the cosmetics i was a bit dissapointed...But all in all this can works and works well. I did strip and powdercoat to my satisfaction so all is good.

Ok...Maybe POS was a little strong but the Quality is lacking in a big way for me... Riding HD's for 30 years now and the standard finish for parts these days come powder coated (END OF STORY) this thing is rattle canned no doubt about it. I started peeling the Decals off and the damn paint peeled off with it also the clean side filter had a chip on it. Some of you guys might be ok with that but I'm not.. NOT $280 worth!!!!

Another thing is that I ordered it for my 2014 Silverado 1500 5.3 and came with a whole bunch of crap I did not need. I used most of my stock fittings on the hose ends and had to modify for the cold air (Airaid MIT) which I specified that I had.. which is a waste of money for the consumer. In fact I made the cross over tube work from the Airaid MIT tube to cross over the valve covers for the clean side filter.

I will media blast the Canister and Clean side cove and have it Powder Coated like it should have been done from the start for the hard earned money I shucked out. Only time will tell if it actually works as described. Done with rant!

We were using these cans exclusively on the EcoBoost F150's. The "initial" quality was outstanding....but after several orders the quality control def hit the pits. Check around on the F150 forum and people really started having issues with the owner. Still a nice can....but there two others that perform as well..

The new UPR with updated diffuser is solid can for aabout 100.00 less...you need to build the kit (they may have one by now).

It does have a check valve. It's attached to the fitting coming off the cc.
