The answer is yes.

For those who don’t want to empty out a tiny catch can frequently, the larger units are helpful.

Do cars need catch cans?

It should be noted that oil catch cans are only really necessary for direct injection engines. Unlike other engines, direct injection engines do not have fuel regularly cleaning the valves and are therefore more likely to experience the formation of carbon deposits.

Do oil catch cans help fuel economy?

What are the Benefits of Oil Catch Can? Moreover, the fuel economy level also improves after installing the Oil Catch Can. Blow-by makes its way into the PCV line and breather where they are recycled back into the intake manifold reducing the octane level.

Do oil catch cans increase performance?

With catch cans, they’re both simple to install, and will help keep your engine turning despite big power mods. Oil in your intake is never a good thing. The combination of modern PCV systems and high performance engines (particularly forced induction) increases the chance of sucking oil into the intake.

Where do you put oil catch cans?
