Dillz, I'm sure I bought one of those first and couldn't remove the top, looked damn similar anyway.\

If you use it on the PCV circuit, you need to use better quality hose than the crap they give you. mine was closing in under vacuum when warm.

It's got like 8 screws holding the top on but yeah they all look the same. Whats the difference between the PCV and the other one? I just want to filter it before it goes back into the intake.

more oil comes out of the PCV so I'd put the can on there. you also want to filter the breather, but its much MUCH less oil so an inline fuel filter works well.

just picked up a black calibre branded one from supercheap-$69. it comes with a clear hose, I know this one needs replacing with a more robust hose, any other hoses required for the install that I should get??

cheers

I've had a vented catch can fitted for about 3-4 months now. Both rocker cover breathers go to the vented catch can.

So anyway after a spirited drive tonight I could smell oil at one stage pulled over immediately and found that the catch can had overfilled with oil and abit came out of the filter.

Is this fairly common? The car has 155xxxkms on it with most of its life over 300kw.

Ill just add that the oil still looks brand new when I check the dipstick it's been abit over 2000kms since the last oil change.

Might have to just empty, go for a quick thrash and check.

Still wondering though if anyone else has heard of a full oil catch can on a non built motor.... blow-by??

interesting that even without vacuum suction (since you have it vented, not plumbed into the intake) it is filling the can.
