Installed ADD W1 Oil Catch Can

[Mojoe007]

Installed my add w1 last night. No hissing no problems. Truck has 1600 KMS so not expecting much oil yet. Will follow up with pics.

I guess that why a lot of people on here say that the truck uses a lot of oil, but instead it gets burned through the intake

agree.......maybe that is why the new ones take so much dang oil....to leave room for it disappearing......

 

May get a little better fuel mileage but uses more oil....kinda like robbing Peter to pay Paul.......

From what I understand, these trucks take 8 qts so the oil doesn't have to circulate as often which makes it last longer. Also the oil also helps with AFM so it's used to do more than normal so the extra oil offsets that so it still last as long as it normally should. I read on here that the low oil light on these doesn't come on until it's 1 qt low than normal and I haven't had the light come on yet after 15,000 miles and getting the 2nd oil change this week. I think I'm going to start changing the oil after this time because I hate letting someone do something I've done for years even if I don't pay for it.

How often are you guys emptying these ADD W1's? each fill up? more? less? Did anyone mod theirs beyond scotchbrite in the baffle?

Newegg has the blue one for $59.00/free shipping if anybody still wants one.

I wouldn't care if you were selling them if you had the lowest price.

When it's installed, nobody knows where you got it.

Yeah i saw that. good idea. Even a little screen on both sides of the scrubber material would work too. Looking at the Elite can, it looks like they use a similar media to coalesce the oil vapours

Anybody else's o ring starting to go bad? Mine is starting to stretch making it tough to screw back on. Anybody know what size would work better

Got mine installed last night, I have about 11k on my truck and my tb and intake were nowhere near as oily as some of the pics I've seen.

 

Anyways, as one of the other member did, I bought some key rings and ss mesh to put in there. I got 1 1/16" key rings and 1" pre cut mesh from McMaster Carr and they fit perfectly.

Installed my can last night thanks to this write up.

 

Made a bracket out of 1"x1/4" Aluminum.

Mounted to the fender bracket, and one sheet metal screw on the bottom, just to keep it from bouncing.

 

made the hoses a little long, so I salvaged the foam off of the old pcv line to make a pad.

Completed install.
