Finding Oil Catch Cans for Your Vehicle
Oil catch cans play a crucial role in a diesel engine by reducing the oil vapours and fumes that recirculate in the engine’s air intake system. Installing a reliable catch as part of your vehicle’s cam/crankcase ventilation setup is crucial for maintaining peak performance. Modern diesel systems recycle crankcase fumes, often containing oil droplets, back to the air intake. This blow-by can clog air intakes, intercoolers, and turbochargers, reducing vehicle performance. Provent units, available in sizes 100, 150, 200, 400, and 800, effectively address this issue. Beware of inferior Provent 200 imitations and ensure purchasing a genuine Mann & Hummel product made in Germany. Western Filters, a pioneer in Vehicle Specific Catch Can Kits, offers over 40 different kits for popular turbo diesel vehicles.

Problems Oil Catch Cans Address
Oil vapour recirculation in your engine typically causes clogging in the following parts of the engine:
- Air intake manifolds
- Intercooler
- Turbochargers
- EGR valves and coolers
Over time, these blockages will impair the performance and fuel economy of your vehicle. The catch cans that we sell at Western Filters remove 98 percent of contaminants before they recirculate, reducing your chance of encountering these problems.
Common Mistakes People Make with Oil Catch Cans
An oil catch can is an important component of any diesel engine vehicle. Here are a few common mistakes that people make with installing and using these filtration tools.
- Improper fitting: Catch cans from Western Filters come with mounting brackets, hoses, clamps and fittings, giving you everything that you need to install the catch can on your vehicle. Just be sure to follow the very detailed instructions that we provide—improper installation can render the catch can useless.
- Not draining the catch can: You will be surprised at how much oil your can catches. For best results, drain the filtration element once per month.
- Not replacing filter elements: Like any other filter, the filtration element in your catch can won’t last forever. We typically recommend purchasing a replacement element every 40,000 kilometres.
