Oil Catch Can

[F1Aussie]

Hi all, recent lurker here but first post.
I have very recently acquired a VE SV6 and have read that it is a good idea to get a catch can
Have been trying to decide on one and due to the lack of room under the bonnet was thinking of a
MISHIMOTO COMPACT BAFFLED OIL CATCH CAN, 2-PORT
Has anyone got one of these and if so what are your thoughts on it?
Cheers
F1A

The aftermarket is full of brands and flashy anodised stuff with stickers.
Opportunistic half-baked solutions.
Consider the best engineered engine components awarded by SAE or any other peer review, does it have different stickered bits with braided this and carbon that?
Nup, my advice is go OEM whenever possible like AC Delco or Delphi or, in this specific case, look at the OEM air / oil separator specialists that supply to trucks and diesel plant equipment since WWII - Mann Hummel.

The automotive ‘catch can’ has been around for over 150 years, Mann has a Provent series which is sold by the likes of Summit and Pace and rebranded by SLP and Lingenfelter. Basically there is no doubt if you are going to invest / spend money to get the best then you want a Provent 200 for your V6.
Not something that you find in Supercheap or Ricer forum.

Look it up on eBay for $175 including mounting clamps etc.

I did see the provent but as I am new to all this thought it was geare towards diesels.

If you're reusing the PCV valve you just need a can, you can get a plain can or something with a vapour diffuser. Provent is an all in one solution with valves. Usually overkill if you're just looking to keep things tidy.

Righto, thanks for that

Just a reminder don`t forget to check you catch can.
Was near full with pot scrubber in the can.

You’ll need a T-piece to route both sides into the 1 catch can
or you could buy 2 catch cans
