Catch can

[OgreSmash]

So I was watching a you tube video on installing a JLT catch can and all of a sudden I'm thinking to myself why do I remember seeing something under my hood that said JLT on it. Low and behold......previous owner installed one

Pull your airbox, pull the upper tube (#15) , and look, scope or dip down in the cac (#25) to the bottom to check for puddling. A little smidge of oil is Normal. Check it once to gauge weather the can is doing its job.

Most likely you will still need to worry about it. One would assume the catch can is on the dirty side of the PCV system and if that's the case it's not doing anything to keep oil out of the CAC. Oil gets in the CAC when boost pressure causes oil air mist to blow out through the clean side of the PCV system and into the incoming air charge (the connection next to where hose #34 connects).

Oil dipstick is what a majority of people use.

Your oil dipstick. Just take it out and wipe it off then snake it through the opening once you've removed the piping.

the oil that was in my catch can was extremely thick. I'm going to assume its been in there for quite sometime
