After that it would be started let idle for about 5 min then taken out and a couple hard runs done on it.Īt 120K miles I ran a bore scope down to the valves and was surprised to see there was very minimal buildup on the valves. Once 2/3 of the can was run through, a heavy shot to use up the remaining was sprayed in and the engine shut off and left to sit for about 15 min. Using a garden sprayer, a fine mist of SeaFoam in 5 second pulses would be injected into the intake. An oil catch can is a canister that is installed, or spliced into the intake system between the positive crankcase ventilation valve and the intake manifold. That said, I still like to run a can, and will probably end up adding them to our 2 boosted RZRs (Z1-swap and 18 Turbo). So the stuff in the can gets much more milky and nasty than what the engine sees with the PCV still hooked up. As a part of regular preventative maintenance I would perform a SeaFoam treatment on the intake valves every 20K miles. Thats not going to happen in a catch can, even with hot oil vapor going into it. Ford Ranger PJ PK Mazda BT50 2006-2011 2.5L 3.0L ProVent Oil Catch Can DIY Kit OS-PROV-11. I put 150K miles on the GTI with a 148K of those having an APR stage II tune on it. (2008 VW GTI) I can say that in most cases the addition of a catch can is not necessarily a requirement. Having owned a car with a DI engine that is notorious for the intake valves getting caked up with deposits.

I'm new here, and just bought my Ranger on Saturday and was looking at various mods and this one caught my eye.
