The Sundae Drive does an in-depth video showing how to install an oil catch can for a 2014 Silverado 5.3L. The process showed in this video will be similar in most Ford, Chevy, GM, Dodge Ram, Toyota, and Nissan trucks. What are the benefits of an oil catch can? Well if you visit the follwing sites you can read all about the benefits and importance of running an oil catch can. Catch cans are NOT ONLY for turbo/supercharger applications. They can be very beneficial for people with naturally aspirated setups.

Purpose of your Stock PCV System:
The PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) system is designed to regulate and remove fumes from the engine crankcase and to alleviate crankcase pressure which could cause oil leaks or seal damage. The PCV system routes crankcase fumes into the intake manifold where they can be burned to eliminate harmful emissions into the atmosphere. The PCV valve controls the amount of crankcase flow volume depending on the engine’s load. With large throttle openings (high engine loads), the more blow-by gases are produced, and the more the PCV system flows oil vapor into the intake manifold. A small amount of that ignited mixture leaks past the piston rings and ends up in the crankcase. This leakage is often referred to a “blow-by” or leakage past the pistons. Some of the oil mist and other products settle along the engine intake and over time form a “gunk”. Our oil catch can collect the oil mist and condensed the fuel vapors while allowing “cleaner” gasses to pass back into the intake manifold.

flashlight woulda been nice to see what was going on in the engine compartment. Way too dark to see your install. Otherwise, pretty concise video.
When you installed it , did your oil gauge fluctuate when your driving ?
In a system with no pressure, why use AN fittings when flat Corbin clamps are plenty? Plus, since you want vapors of oil, blow-by and moisture to condense into a liquid, you want a temperature drop. With an aluminum catch can over the exhaust, heat will quickly transfer into the can. It makes more sense to mount it in a cooler location after all there is plenty of PCV rated hose. The cooler location would allow higher thermal condensation of any liquid bearing vapor to fall into the can increasing its efficiency & producing much better results. It just seems strange to design & market a product and avoid proper placement. I would not install a remote oil filter adaptor and mount it to the dash! Think ahead as rear guys don’t read instructions.

Instead of installing a catch can, could I just block off those ports? I live in Florida. We don’t care about emissions.
Suggest a drain petcock in the bottom for easier draining.
What size hose did you use
Good video once again!!!!! New subscriber!!!!!
“Go ahead” used 73 times!
I put one on my Silverado and it works great!!!!
Nice.. thanks for sharing
Why don't vehicles come with this?
— Honest question: Wouldn't it be simpler to just run an open hose off the head and let all that drool onto ground, and seal the manifold side of the PCV system?
So we’re you put the catch can won’t it fill up faster.
Great vid and I’m looking to add this setup. Took off my UPR due to a small but constant vacuum leak. Did you have any leaks or codes show up? And did you use Teflon the npt threads? Thanks man
Looking forward to the new build too
What is that neat tool you used for the hose clamps called?
I don’t think you can anodize Brass
I believe the fittings are Aluminum
Always wonder why people put these on you absolutely do not need one.
I do have a chev Silverado 2014 . 4.3 L v 6. So where can I buy the right parts from my vehicle..thank you.
I dont want to have to monitor this to empty when full, has anyone added a passive drain outlet. At the bottom of the cannister
Does this void the warranty on the vehicle?
The engines crankcase produces vapor of water, un-burn fuel, weak acids and carbon particulates. Mounting any catch can away from under hood / engine exhaust heat will help the cans media, cavities and surface area of contact, condense these vapors into a liquid. The length of hose in a quality kit will allow for better results. The addition of a 3rd fresh air line with one way check valves should be mounted directly in front of the throttle body. This ensures that a vacuum is present even during periods of WOT operation or towing. The engine is a vacuum pump, but behind the throttle valve, the intake reaches ambient air pressure. Only air source that is moving into the engine is in front of the throttle body and can be mounted on the bottom side. Without this, nothing goes into the catch can when blow by is at its worst.
