Product Overview
Oil mist collecting in intake plumbing can make a baffled catch can useful on a properly planned crankcase-ventilation setup. The breather-style top makes this a custom vented installation, not a drop-in replacement for every closed PCV system.
Internal baffling slows vapor so oil can collect in the can. A vented breather is not a direct substitute for every closed PCV system and may not be street legal.

Compatibility Notice
Northline Parts does its best to list all known compatible models, but the correct part may fit an application not shown.
Plan crankcase airflow, hose size, mounting position, fuel and oil exposure, emissions compliance, and whether the engine expects a sealed PCV circuit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is a breather can the same as a closed-loop separator? A: No. A breather vents to atmosphere; a closed system returns cleaned vapor to the intake.
Q: Will it stop all intake oil? A: No. Results depend on baffling, routing, temperature, and blow-by.
Q: Why is it filling quickly? A: Excess blow-by, condensation, overfilled oil, or incorrect plumbing may be responsible.
Q: Can it be used on any street car? A: Not automatically; PCV operation and emissions laws must be considered.
