Oil Catch Tank

[johnjoseph]

installed a DIY oil catch can today using a half height clear water filter housing and 5 ft. 5/8" chemical hose ,6 stainless clamps, some brass and GI fitting. stuff some stainless mesh inside the filter to filter out the oil mist coming from the rocker cover.

Bro, ilan days mo na gamit ang water filter DIY OCC mo? Ang laki niyan, tagal bago mo drain ang condensed oil. Post na lang kung ano effect ng engine bay temperature, very simple!

3 days pa lang gamit ko, napansin ko na may gumagapang ng oil trail galing rocker cover papunta sa filter housing, mga 8 inches ang haba ng oil trail galing sa rocker cover, since medyo paahon yun chemical hose from the cover to the filter housing, i doubt na makakarating yun oil trail sa filter. malamang mga oil mist lang ang maiipon ng occ ko

Dapat puno ng stainless steel wool ang tank para stick and condense agad ang oil mist/vapor coming from valve cover at dahil lquid na siya, mag-settle na lang sa bottom, hindi na sasama sa air papunta sa intake.

Ang PS fluid reservoir na ginamit ko DIY OCC, meron plastic strainer na help filter the oil vapor at ang oil vapor na pass thru this strainer will also come into contact with the Scotch Brite steel wool na inilagay ko sa reservoir, nakaharang sa outlet pipe papunta intake, maiwan ang condensed oil for a clean intake.

Do i have to totally fill in my occ with steel wool? Just filled my occ half way.

Basta top to bottom ng can, may steel wool element, wag lang siksik, baka ma-restrict ang air flow. Para lang may madikitan ang oil vapor, mag-liquify at hindi na sumama sa air flow to intake.

kahit walang steel wool pwede, ang importante na-minimize yung oil na papasok sa pre-turbo. konti lang naman naitutulong niyan kasi even nga may steel wool may nakaka-lusot pa rin na oil bad effect ng may steel wool kapag nalagas yan at ang maliliit na piraso niyan napunta lalo sa manifold yari kaya mo nga nilagyan ng OCC para salain yung oil eh tapos lalagyan mo naman ng steel wool na pwede makadumi lol! si master zix mismo na nagdi-diy niyan ay di naglalagay. more than enough na yung mabawasan yung oil.

and beside, sa mga separator vessels sa oil and gas plants na nainspection ko before kapag may plant shutdowns, ang demister nasa upper part ng vessel bago lumabas sa outlet line hindi lumalangoy yung demister sa liquid..HTH

Planning to DIY ng OCC, meron na ko steel wool and aluminum can. Saan kaya makaka bili ng fittings para sa hose? AFAIK yung steel wool para pang increase siya ng surface area para mabilis lumamig at mag condense yung gases?

in my case, yun abang ng inlet/outlet ng filter housing is 1/2"NPT , i just buy the necessary GI ang brass fitting that is both 1/2NPT yun thread, and then i just choose the chemical hose which is slightly larger than the OEM rubber hose from the rocker cover. to prevent restricted airflow to the pre turbo, btw, i buy all the necessary fitting, clamps from A hardware store behind the 7/11 store located at the corner of recto and t. mapua st. HTH

Ang scotch brite stainless steel wool na ginamit ko ay malambot, para nga siya plastic coils, pliable, I don't think it will disintegrate easily into small pieces para mahigop ng intake. Ipinagpag ko pa muna and made sure na wala loose shavings. Will serve as demister where oil vapor will stick and condense, hindi enough ang wall ng catch tank to condense the oil mist.

4 months and 3,000 km later.........



20ml plus from the oil catch can and still have oil dripping from the stainless steel buffer... effective din yun occ otherwise all of these oil mist will goes directly to the turbo.......

[johnjoseph]

Serviced the OCC of my 4AFE, got almost 50ml for 13 wks/3k kms daily use, ganda ng sunog ng SPs, light golden brown. It really is a big help, clean intake, long service life ng SPs, very functional.

Bro, back read ka, may descriptions how to DIY. I installed DIY OCC sa 4JA1 turbo direct injection engine ng Fuego ko, big help sa turbo, hindi na pinapasok ng oil from valve cover. Meron pictures posted sa Fuego owners thread.

hi.. kahit ba mga bagong unit nilalagyan dapat ng oil catch can? 2012 dmax sasakyan ko. thanks

IMO, dapat lagyan din ng OCT ang mga new engines...kahit kasi bago, for sure, meron na din oil mist iyan na circulate from valve cover to intake. Kung gases, okey lang sama sa intake for combustion, pero ang oil, hindi, lalo at meron turbo, it will destroy the fins in the long run. It adds protection and cleans the engine, also minimize hydrocarbons being released to our environment thru the exhaust.
