I was just looking at Perrin makes an oil catch can and I do not know why you would want this? Why would you want this?

 

let's see.. how can i say this. (someone might come out with a better explanation)

it's for the oil... not going in ur intake.... lol that's all i can say..

 

lol, great......but when I bought injen sri it came with a mini filter doesn't that do the same thing?

 

let's see... correct me if im wrong here. those mini filter doesnt collect the oil, rather it just drops it down on the ground lol something like that! tho catch can collects it, and may look better lol

 

the catch can collects abunch of gunk besides just oil, but alot of sludge that can be built up and eventually get into your engine. does it work Yes. does the stuff it catch be potentially hazardous to your engine? Yes. Would your car run great without it? Yes. most of the appeal of it is it is only like 15 bux for an off brand, and adds color to your engine bay. what i like to get also are those magnetic oil plugs. it is a strong magnet that sits in your oil pan, and collects all the micro metallic sahvings that are built up, or worn off of your engine. you wipe it down after every oil fill. i was surprised how much this works, wether it is from the engine, or oil, it collects a bunch of little metallic "shavings".

 

hah really.. where can i buy that? sounds neat... magnetic huh ^^

 

you can get them off of ebay for like 10 bux. or you can go to any one of those "gizmo stores that they have in the malls. (you know those movable carts in the center aisle) and they have them, OR you can go to a flea market. i have seen them there also. best easiest, Ebay!

 

lol sorry to steal the post.. whats it called?

 

nah it is my bad for posting in here. it is just called a magnetic oil plug. they are usually universal sizes, and i believe toyotas are all the same.

The short of it is this:

Toyotas are known for sucking oil through the intake. So to prevent the oil from coating the intake, an oil catch can is placed in between the valve and the intake.

I did this mod when I had both of my Celicas, one w/ the 18RG, and the other w/ the pumped 20RC, and on the turbo taco.

 

old VW bugs had magnetic plugs.
