2014-2019 Kia Soul | Oil Catch Can Install

2014-2019 Kia Soul | Oil Catch Can Install

This is an overview and “how to” video for an oil catch can install on my 2014 Kia Soul Exclaim.
It is applicable for all 2nd gen Souls (2014-2019) equipped with a 2.0L engine.

This is my first how-to video, so please bear with my stumbling speech throughout (i.e. using the term “bolt” when “screw” should’ve been used and any other misspoken and repetitive words).

PARTS LIST

►Oil Catch Can: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07H8BSTHB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

NOTES: The oil catch can also comes with teflon tape that you’ll want to apply to both fittings to avoid potential leaks. Apply 3 to 4 revolutions in the opposite direction of how you’ll thread the fittings into the catch can.

►Armor Mark 3/8” Fuel Line Hose (purchase 20” and trim as needed): https://www.autozone.com/plumbing-hosing/rubber-hose/armor-mark-fuel-line-hose/4956_0_0

►Armor Mark 15/32” PCV Hose (purchase 36” and trim as needed): https://www.autozone.com/plumbing-hosing/rubber-hose/armor-mark-pcv-and-emission-hose/13693_0_0

►5/16” to 7/8” Hose Clamps | 4 pack: https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/ideal-standard-type-f-hose-clamp-size-06-5203058/11865265-P

►M6-1.00 x 16 Screw (optional as you can use the self-tapping screws provided in the oil catch can kit, but that would involve a little more work). This was purchased from Lowe’s hardware aisle—in the metric screws bin, but other M6-1.00 screws will thread into the hole in the radiator beam. I wouldn’t go too long or short.

TOOLS LIST

►Needle nose pliers and/or regular pliers: to move OEM pinch clamps
►Allen wrenches: 8mm and 2.5mm
*4mm if you use the M6-1.00 x 16 allen screw shown in video. I used/said 5/32 in the video, but that was not an exact fit although it did the job. 4mm is the proper size.
►5/32 chainsaw file: to enlarge the oil catch can bracket hole for the M6-1.00 x 16 screw
►Flathead screwdriver: to help with removing stock hose off the PCV and intake manifold
►17mm deep socket: to tighten fittings into the oil catch can
►10mm socket: to loosen 2 intake hose screws
►1/4 socket or Phillips screwdriver: to loosen/tighten hose clamps
►WD-40 or oil: to lubricate the insides of the hoses to fit onto the fittings and intake manifold
►Sharp scissors or blade: to trim hoses to size

Were you having excessive oil consumption issues? My wife's 2015 Soul 2.0L is using 2 quarts every 500 miles. Dealer can't find anything wrong with the car and no leaks to be found. They did a compression test and everything came up in spec. The car has 130,000 gently used miles on it. I can tell the PCV valve has never been changed. I know that may be it. Another post I read on the forum said the back of the intake valves could be coked up with burnt oil sludge causing the issue?

Adam Kitchen says:

Why did you use two different size hose?

Kntryhart says:

I have a catch can similar to your installation on my 2016 2.0L Kia Soul.
There is a second hose that I am interested in installing a second catch can in.
The hose connects the rear of the valve cover to the air inlet hose near the throttle body.
I removed the inlet hose from the throttle body and found a lot of "brown goo" inside. I could see that the liquid was coming from that hose.
The hose goes around the back of the injection pump then between the engine and the battery to the air inlet hose.
Any thoughts / suggestions?
I was unable to locate the OEM part number for that hose. I'd like to have a spare before I cut the one that is on the engine.
Thanks.

What does Oil Catch can do ?

offom says:

Hey Sir, on my car, Kia Ceed 2014 1.6 CRDI, PCV out is at the rear of the crankcase and it is looking back, connecting with a short line as yours. Driverside is almost full, passengerside is somewhat a bit more free but I found no possible spot. I am thinking about mounting an oil catch can on the frontside as yours but lines will be very long, may be around 1 meter, is that an issue? Do you think if radiator-back blows hot air onto it? Would that cause a problem?

Thank you very much

Would this void any warranty on a newly financed vehicle?

Samuel Brown says:

Do you know whether the process is similar for the 1.6L?

Bryan I. Q. says:

Do you know if the hose sizes are the same for a 2019 Kia Soul 1.6L turbo?

Malith Perera says:

I'm having a really hard time finding a location for my 2019 Tucson. There is a big metal lip where the radiator is. Still couldn't find a good spot for it.

Russell Frayre says:

Thanks again. Great video and advice. Went like clockwork.

David Bloomberg says:

Just changed my oil a few days ago after about 4000 miles since install my catch can….poured out about 2 tablespoons of oily liquid…..

Russell Frayre says:

Can you share the brand and model of the can you used? Thanks!

zion168 says:

What's the reason to use fuel line instead of pcv hose?

Troy Lee says:

Thanks for being very precise in describing how you installed it. How much gunk are you finding in the can.

Stacy K says:

Thanks for making this! I just bought a 2018 Soul 2 months ago, and am wanting to install a can. This will make it so much easier for me having seen it done first! BTW, I found you in the Kia Soul forum, I'm a lurker lol
