RULLINE Universal 350ml Oil Catch Can Tank 0046 Aluminum Polish Baffled Reservoir Black Upgraded Braided Hose

Compared various products and prices for the oil catch cans and chose the Ruien 0046. Read the reviews and was a little skeptical of this product as reviews were mixed, but liked the price. No disappointments. Really a quality item. Well made and a heavy piece. Comes with 6 line fittings (3 for inlet & 3 for the outlet) that can be matched to whatever hose size you might use. Also is included is some teflon tape to wrap on the threads of the fittings to create a tight seal. The supplied hose is a thin wall flexible plastic. I can see how in some applications it might collapse. So consider this a "generic" hose, but you may find yourself going to the parts store to get a hose that fits your application, not only with a matching ID, but also in length depending on where you locate the can - so I don't see this as a "negative" point to be considered. A stainless steel scouring pad is included that goes inside the canister. The lower section that will capture the oil screws on and off and is sealed with a large rubber o-ring at the base of the threads. The Inlet and Outlet ports are well marked. Has a dipstick that screws into the top and can be easily unscrewed to check the oil fill level of the can. No o-ring is used to seal it as it has a machined taper at the base which tightens securely into the top plate to create a good seal. Nice shiny black exterior finish. A basic side mount bracket is screwed to the top section. It might work as is, or you may have to fabricate up another bracket to mount on your car and then mount the can to it. If you are adding something like this, then you know how to fabricate if needed. No odd smells or oily parts. Did not see any machined chips, but I will flush and blow it out which I would do anyway prior to installation. So I think this is a great value for the size and price, very complete in application & installation, and am very please with what I received. I would buy again if needed for another vehicle.

Installed this on a 2011 Buick Enclave with the 3.6 L V6 with direct injection, which are known to have intake carboning up issues due to direct injection. A catch can may eliminate these issues. This catch can is built really good for being less than $30. It does a great job of catching all of the moisture, and crap that would otherwise be inside the engine. It's kind of unsettling seeing all the crap that it catches, knowing that was all in the engine! I'd recommend this product to anyone. BUT, there are a few "gotchas" that I have learned" Don't over tighten it, or it will be extremely hard to get off. In order to prevent issues getting it off, I spin it on fully, and as soon as it "bottoms out", (stops turning), I back it off about 1/2 or 1/4 turn. Otherwise, it will get on there extremely tight, and we have had to put it in a vise to get it off once when I tightened it all the way. I also put some grease on the threads to help it spin easily. Doing that, it comes off easily, and it doesn't leak. This kit did not come with any instructions, or any substantial mounting hardware. We had to use a scrap piece of aluminum to mount it, some custom fabrication was needed (nothing major though, just bent and drilled some aluminum.) And secured the catch can to it using some fasteners we had around. The hose that comes with the kit, I would not recommend using. It is just too thin, and I wouldn't expect it to last a long time. I used some 3/8" heater hose from a local auto parts store, and that works great. (May have to use different depending on your engine). The thread sealing tape that comes with the kit isn't that great either, so I used some better teflon tape. Otherwise, this is a great product.

First off, the kit did not come with instructions. That being said, the install is fairly straightforward albeit takes some fabricating skills. Plan where you want to install them before hand. More than likely you will have to fashion a bracket to mount them to and every vehicle is different. In my case, I placed them near the firewall and used adjustable shelving rail to make brackets that allowed me to use existing fasteners. The steel wool goes inside the can, just place it in the can and make sure there is a half inch or so of space above the wool to the lip. Removing the dipstick from the can will also make it easier to screw the can on. Another note is that the included teflon tape, hose clamps and hose are junk. For the hose, it is made of soft rubber and is way too short. I bought 10ft of 3/4" vacuum/fuel hose from O'Reilly's and ended up using around 8ft total. You can also get good quality hose clamps there as well. Each kit only gives you two and you need 4 total for each can, additionally they deformed and fell apart when I tried to tighten them. Each kit comes with a variety of nipples that will allow for a variety of hose types which was nice. I was also able to remove the factory connectors from the original hoses and use them with the new hoses which definitely made installation simpler. I would definitely purchase a can for each path that your vehicles PCV system has. In the case of my 2014 F150 Ecoboost it was two, one for each valve cover. There is debate on whether you need two or only one. This is where researching how your vehicle's PCV system operates is important. For the Ecoboost engine, the system vents through the passenger side valve cover when the engine is not under boost (idle, lower RPMs) and vents through the driver side when under boost (accelerating, higher RPMs). The photo of the two bottles shows what my cans captured after about 1000miles of mixed driving (majority of it was highway). The bottle on the left is from the passenger side can (it was mostly oil and combustion vapor condensate) and the one on the right is from the driver side (about 50/50 oil/combustion vapor and water condensation). Now, I am sure that I am not capturing 100% of the vapors but I am satisfied with what I AM capturing I am getting the majority at least. I am giving this kit 4 stars due to cheapness of the clamps, hoses and thread tape (but what do you expect for $26) as well as the lack of instructions, but overall I am happy with the can itself. I will note that I was not able to figure out what the O-rings were for.

I ordered three (3) of these and installed two on both of my cars; one on ny 2012 Prius "v" and another on my 2016 Nissan Versa Note. The quality of the the billet T6061 aluminum components is exceptional. The cup is made from a multistage deep draw process like that used to make oxygen and scuba high pressure tanks. It's wall is thicker than it needs to be. The outside is still precision machined for a near perfect match to the valve body. Having been a machinist in manufacturing processes and an auto mechanic for many years, I can tell quality when I see it. At $36 delivered by Amazon Prime, these oil catch cans are an exceptional bargain. Yes, the vinyl hose in junk. I replaced it with the recommended 3/8 inch gas line hose. The fittings are also high quality CNC "ORB" or (o ring on boss) hydraulic quality fittings. The O rings supplied are undersized for the fittings supplied. I replaced the low quality undersized O rings with Viton ones. There was no O ring on the dipstick, while there is a channel to take one. I placed a correctly sized Viton O ring in the channel, so that it would seal correctly. Instead of the worm drive band clamps, I used OEM quality 5/8 inch constant spring tension hose clamps for the entire installation. The Hillman brand was also purchased on Amazon.com. Since some of the component nipples on the hoses are plastic, worm drive band clamps exert perssure points on plastic that would eventually damage those fittings. That's why constant even tension spring clamps are suppied as OEM equipment, The install on the Prius "v" was fitted with custom made stainless steel strip brackets fashioned to fit the OEM mount in the space left by the removal of the original filter box to install the HPS cold air intake that I purchased last year from Amazon.com. On both installs, I repositioned the OEM PCV hose and connected it with the 5/8 clamps to hone nipples that I custom machine from black PEEK (polyeitheretherketone) plastic. Those who do not have machine tools can use commercially available hose nipples. I would highly recommend this oil catch can to any user. A friend of mine liked the photos of the Prius"v" install so much, that I sent him a prepared set with the correct brackets, hoses and clamps, that he installed it in 30 minutes.

Throw away the hose, it's not vacuum line. They shouldn't include this accessory since it perceptively cheapens the product. I used 5/8 to match up with my system, so the I didn't use the 1/2" fittings, but the fittings are good quality. The catch can is nicely made and I added a drain valve by drilling and tapping the catch cup with a 3/8" npt. Once installed it would be difficult to get the can off. Now I can just flip the lever valve open. Others claim the aluminum will shed shavings after use or cross thread easy. I wouldn't worry about this. It's anodized nicely which provides a hard coat on all the Al. As for cross threading, just be careful, any careless person can cross thread steel too. Some say the dipstick is useless but it actually works, if I see the yellow/brown goop on it (see picture) I know it's time to clean. One person complained that it needed an o-ring seal for the dipstick. This is a low pressure vacuum system, and uses a tappered wedge seal like many water bottle lids use which is completely effective and I prefer since simple is better in this case. The bracket was worthless to me. I can't see it being that useful to any application. I welded together a bracket of my own. In the end it took a while to get everything I needed for the odd ball connectors on my Audi but it's done and is hopefully working. I'll check back after a few thousand miles. Update: After having this on for 20k miles it definitely collects a lot of gunk and and a some oil, my car only uses 3/4qt/10k miles. Most of what it collects is a emulsified oil & fuel mixture. It smells like paint thinner and kerosene. I added 2 stars back since it works so effectively, see picture above. When I poured this mixture into a clear tea bottle it does separate over time with about 70% water and a couple other layers of stuff on top. I found my drain valve became plugged and I need to add a larger valve with a least a 1/4" diameter through hole rather than the small toggle air valve with a 1/8" orifice. Since it wasn't draining properly through the valve, it filled to the top and my car began to smell like gas or exhaust on the inside. If you get this smell, clean your seperator. Once I cleaned it and put it back together the smell went away. I'll be checking this more often like every 3-5k. I think this is must have on the Audi pre 2016 engines that have carbon build up problems on the intake system and valves. I have the 2013 A6 with the 3.0 supercharged V6. It now 58k miles and I've been running this for 20k miles.

Nice for the money, but use a different hose for it. The ones that it comes with collapse with any vacuum

I installed the Ruien 0046 Polish Baffled Universal Aluminum Oil Catch Can between the PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) valve and the intake manifold on my wife's brand new 2019 Subaru Forester Limited with the new FB25DXZHTA Direct Injected 2.5 L Boxer Engine to filter out any oil, water and unburned fuel mist that blows by the piston rings into the crankcase that otherwise would be sucked into the intake manifold, through the intake valves and into the cylinders to be burned. The problem with Direct Injection gas engines is, the oily blow-by mist gradually bakes onto the back of the intake valves as a hard carbon deposit, because the gasoline is no longer injected upstream of the valves to wash the oil off them. If you elect not to install an Oil Catch Can, you are supposed to pay the dealer to remove the intake manifold every 30,000 miles and "sandblast" the intake valves and ports with ground walnut shell media to remove the built up carbon deposits, which is much more expensive. I fabricated my own custom mount from a 6-1/2" piece of 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" x 1/8" 6061-T6 aluminum angle to use existing fastener holes because I didn't want to do anything that couldn't be undone and returned to stock configuration if there are any warranty issues down the road. I fabricated acrylic bevel shims to mount the oil catch can level. I stuffed the internal "baffle" with stainless steel wool (Dollar Store scrub pad) to add more surface area for oil to condense and drop into the catch can. I had to buy a small Nitrile "O"-ring for the little dip stick on Oil Catch Can because it is not included. I had to modify two metric-to-AN fittings to accommodate the 5/8" I.D. vacuum hose. After the the first oil change at 1,350 miles, there was a Tablespoon of clean 0w-20 synthetic oil in the catch can and no detectable oily residue in the "Out" hose when I disconnected it and swabbed it with a clean cotton swab, so it is doing its job and I shouldn't have to empty it between normal 5,000 mile oil changes.

First the bad, some reviews say these things stink coming out of the package. I thought for sure that was an exaggeration. I was wrong. This thing REEKS. Once you get past the smell, the threaded surfaces fit up very well. An O ring needs to be fitted to the dip stick. The hose fittings appear to be straight thread and fit up with the can is good enough. I'll probably use a sealant to be sure that they don't leak. Two sets of hose fittings are included that should cover the vast majority of installs. The inlet filter is actually two parts, so a mesh screen screws into the lid, filter material is added, and then another screen is screwed on. Well done. The hose is crap, the intestines out of a pig would be a better choice. Just leave it in the box and buy good hose, odds are it won't be long enough for your application anyway. Update 4/27/2018 As I suspected, sealing of the fittings is an issue. Replaced o rings with quality o rings and sealing is much better. Mounting can be a real pain. If I was going to do it again, I'd probably use a hose clamp instead of building a bracket. Update 4/7/2018. Took a 150 mile journey this weekend, mixed highway and off roading. I was amazed at how much oil ended up in the can. Blow by on this engine is very minimal but oiling must be excellent. Hose to the intake was dry so it is doing a very good job of separation. I'm using stainless steel scrubbie material for my filter medium. Available at Wally world in the dish section. Update 4/18/2019 This has continued to perform well. If I have one complaint, I wish I'd bought a bigger one. In winter commute driving, it needs emptied about every 600 miles. It's shocking just how much water is condensed inside an engine during a typical Montana winter.

Found that it works well easy to fit, had to buy 19mm hose apart from that the product is great,delivery was quick well done Amazon.

Buena calidad muy útil. Evita carbonización de las valvulas. Trae todo para acoplar solo tener pinzas de corte para manguera acerada.

Good

It has very good fit and finish, all threaded material was very nice as well but i will add as other have stated, it did smell like it just came out of a solvent tank and the hose they supply is garbage ! But over all, no complaints ! :)
