Gauging Interest, Affordable Catch Can Setup

[Nick797]

Hey Guys & Gals!

I put together a catch can setup using a few different parts from different vehicles utilizing a J&L catch can.

Any interest in these on this platform? It is angled due to clearance issues and you would have to unbolt it to drain it (1 13MM nut). Would that become a large inconvenience? These typically run $159-$169 from J&L.

I am trying to gauge interest in these at this time, I utilized some off the shelf pieces so that we could get this pushed into production sooner rather than later.

We sell a ton in the RHO community (same engine) and we have found an oil catch can is certainly suggested on the hurricane engine, it is great to see what ends up in the can not ending up in your engine.

No interest here.

Forgot to add this:

For comparison we are trying to offer something a bit more affordable vs the current options out there.

What’s this do for me exactly? I’ve changed my own oil and done my own brakes, that’s the extent of my real world mechanics knowledge.

Do these engines run the risk of spraying oil without it or something ?

If you plan on developing a double like them I am guessing you would get plenty of people grabbing them. I will be grabbing the dual can shortly.

No interest here. Later RJD

No risk at all by not running one, just a very common first under the hood thing people have done in the hemi world and the hurricane world.

Just catches blow by oil that would otherwise end up back in the intake and on the valves etc.

See Below for a more detailed explanation:

J&L Oil Separator Co Review: Does a Catch Can Help?

See real-world results as we test J&L Oil Separator Co. catch cans for reducing intake valve carbon and improving horsepower and efficiency.

www.jlosc.com

A J&L oil separator, also known as a catch can, is a device that captures oil mist and blow-by gases from your engine’s crankcase ventilation system before they can re-enter the intake. It routes these vapors through a high-efficiency filter inside a billet aluminum canister, trapping the oil while allowing clean air to pass through. This helps prevent carbon buildup, keeps intake valves cleaner, and protects engine performance over time. Most modern engines, especially those with direct injection or forced induction—benefit from an oil catch can. Blow-by is a natural byproduct of combustion, and over time, oil vapors can coat intake valves and reduce efficiency. Installing a J&L oil separator helps minimize carbon buildup, maintain power, and extend engine life, making it a worthwhile upgrade for daily drivers, performance vehicles, and work trucks alike. "

We are a dealer for them, and I can sell you them as well BUT, personally I have found dual catch cans on these & hemi's to be not so effective as the one can doesn't trap anything so it's just sitting there looking pretty in a sense Lol.

I've been asking to see if the vapor actually matters though on the Hellcat boards and gotten no answer. If these are "needed" why hasn't Dodge put them on for warranty purposes, then?

These are not NEEDED. And we come across this same question with each new platform, no manufacture would put these on a car from the factory because:

1. MOST Owners would not maintain this, some people cannot even maintain checking an air filter. (so adding a can that can fill up with oil over time rather than be plumbed back in and hope its burnt off would
2. Oil disposal, Catch can's do not meet CARB status so they would also be unable to put these in cars due to that. (as some states are also adapting CARB rules, not just CA).

Some vehicles are equipped with a factory "oil separator", like the BMW M5 V8 and its an added maintenance item that is not cleanable or able to be drained and cost about $200 each so telling a consumer they need to maintain that after they just spent X amount on a vehicle would be absurd.

The 4 cylinder variant of the hurricane(found in the alfa, and jeep vehicles) has a built in oil separator on the engine block, and has been a pretty high failure rate issue as oil gathers inside of it and the seals go bad and it leaks down the side of the engine and most people misdiagnose it as a rear main seal leak.



So all its just cheap insurance to keep the inside of your engine clean and happy.

They seem like a good piece of mind for longevity of the engine. That's why I will be getting one.

So draining the catch can along with the regular oil change schedule is enough?

Absolutely, that is when i drain mine on my vehicles!

 

[Kingsam1985]

I want one but I would need an expert to install and unfortunately I trust nobody

 

[NewYorker]

I like it. Does installing it void the warranty?

Well, "maybe" not, BUT, if something happens, and Dodge wants to blame it on something else, they will. You'll be fighting Dodge for a while. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act covers mods and warranties. It's like if you do your own oil change, and the engine goes south. In other words, NO mods for me until the factory warranty is done.
