They’re not necessarily meant for older engines. They’re meant for cars which have the known defect of excessive oil burn due to defective PCV or breather valve designs. They’re meant to trap oils in the valve top which the PCV loses.

It’s beneficial to not only GDI but MPI engines too especially those with badly designed PCV and headers which can trap excessive air and vapors.

Omo, you studied mechanical engineering? The above analysis doesn’t sound like road side mech to me. No mind me sha.

You can create one by yourself. All you need is

A length of oil pipe/hose (the same type and size with the one running from your pcv to valve cover)

Two small pipes of similar diameter with your pcv hose fitting

Weld the pipes into a small container (vacuumed) with one sticking further into the container than the other (one pipe should be shallow and one should run half way deep)

Iron sponge (the type used in washing pots) that will be wrapped around the deeper running iron pipe inside the catch can

And hooks/hangers or a way to mount the can somewhere convenient in your engine bay (as far away from any major heat source as possible)

Also make sure the can you choose has a screw cover or you can weld a small tap/valve for emptying the contents out when it’s caught some oil.

I e done it before. I used one of all those aluminum water bottles that office workers usually carry around. On an EOD engine it caught some oil over the course of an oci and I’d recommend it to keep your valve train and intake manifold sludge free.
Can you snap a pic of one you made?
Thanks

I just watched a Scotty Kilmer video talking about this thing and how good they are for cars with older engines and also very good for cars with GDi engines.

Nigerian consumer experience is in focus here


Most people in Nigeria are more concerned about price of petrol now...I doubt ifbyou would find many Nigerians who give a damn about installing this thing in their cars
