catch can

Post by g_force58 » Fri Sep 02, 2011 1:41 pm

for the last few weeks I have noticed the dreaded burned oil smell after making a hard right turn. I know this can be stopped by installing a catch can, but which one? Can anyone offer advice based on personal experience? I know there are cheap knock offs out there and I don't want to waste money on something that won't last, or worse, doesn't work. I have a 2000 ES MTX with the stock vc. I did pull the vacuum line off the throttlebody and it was soaked inside with oil.

I have an air/oil seperator from Jeg's. Works good on a stock 2.0

There are many catch can options out there. I had the air compressor water separator at first, but the other options are much nicer and more reliable options.
