For several decades, automotive engines have been required by law in most regions to feature a Positive Crankcase Ventillation or PCV system. When combustion is taking place, positive pressure builds up in the crankcase and needs to be relieved. Automotive manufacturers used to simply release this pressure into the environment, but from the 1970s onwards this became illegal, initially in the USA, as the released gases contain harmful pollutants in the form of oil vapours. Therefore, the PCV system was developed to allow this oil and air mixture to re-enter the engine to be burned for a second time. Now, instead of burning clean air, your engine is burning dirty, oil contaminated air, and this air contaminates every surface it comes into contact with, leaving sludge and build up which causes engine failures over time.

To combat the problem, the Catch Can was developed and has been a common automotive upgrade for decades. Now, the dirty air is routed through a filter unit containing a sump, a special filter, an inlet and an outlet. Eventually, the sump fills with oil and is drained by the user, or when the vehicle is serviced. Research shows that when this type of filter is used, engine component life can be dramatically increased and fuel consumption is reduced, meaning that the Catch Can will more than pay for itself over time.

However, not all Catch Cans are born the same. As the PCV system is pressurised, the design must be able to cope with the pressure. The internal filter must be carefully designed and precision manufactured, so as to be able to catch the oil vapour without obstructing the free flow of gases. Australian filtration experts Ryco have perfected their Catch Can design over many years, creating an easy to use product which can be installed and maintained at home or by any mechanic, with a large sump and a replaceable oil filter. Now, with simple and regular maintenance, you can help keep your engine clean and safe.

Whilst the Ryco Catch Can can be installed to most engines with PCV systems, best results will be obtained when installing to a turbocharged or common rail engine.
