  • 2.8lt Oil Catch can ?

    Hi guys,

    Anyone els running a catch can on the 2.8lt Diesel prado?
    I have been for the last 10k and the results are a little odd

    The can was cleaned about 7k ago so over the last7,000 KMs i have ended up with about 1/3rd of the can full of what looks like sewage, pale gray milkshake a few bits of clear liquid floating around in there too, I have had a few cans on previous vehicles never seen anything like this.

    It could be just condensation. What's the oil on the dipstick like, also what's your radiator coolant like?

      Where is the can located ?
      Reason i ask i did have mine fitted in front of radiator. Which then the hot air from engine and the cold air passing over can made heaps of condensation. I had to move it to inside engine bay in front of brake booster problem solved

          Wow. I've been running one in the same location - behind the Airbox - for 25,000km's now and it catches nothing like that. It's pretty much pure oil it catches and drains. Mines a ProVent, installed by Berrima Diesel.

          That gloop is just absolutely not right. I am aware of dodgy catch cans on the market - what brand is yours?

            HPD, there is nothing wrong with the can bar the alloy construction is promoting condensation or the motor is passing liquid through the vent
            I'll have a look at the engine oil when they dump it next

            Provent are great also plastic construction

            Never had an issue with the taipan can on my 79 series which is alos alloy but they had gauze inside which would act like some form of a insulator, I might give HPD a call and see what there thoughts are

              Engine oil looks fine
              I emptied the catch can into a clear bottle looks very ordinary all I know is better in there than back into the intake

              I also looked into the oil used for the 2.8 my dealership uses a Castrol PRO 0-30w only available for trade, interesting indeed very thin
