Is this not the 3rd time you have asked this same question?

Did you not like the advice that has been given in good faith by other members?

Although a challenge to 'advice'  given was incorrect, but I simply couldn't be bothered correcting it.

However, with essentially the same audience here, any replies will likely be the same. Good luck though! Cheers

P.S Don't bother with the catch can.

Michael,

It seems that after 3 attempts in April, earlier this month, and this one, no one here has a Jeep with a catch can that can help you.

Still wouldnt make any illegal changes to parts on the vehicle though.

As some mentioned on your last thread before this one, some breaking of the rules is ok according to some, while other rules are sacrosanct.

 Hi Ian. You no doubt have heard that nothing is illegal until you get caught? Cheers

Mike,
if you want an answer then find a Jeep forum and join there. Then after reading their various threads you might find your answer. Or ask them as they obviously own Jeeps.

The Jeep forum will let you know everything that you need to know about Jeeps including catch cans. Being a Jeep owner I belong to three Jeep forums on FB and always get the information that I seek from helpful members.

I have used a Provent for the last 2 Jeep GC. Well regarded and works well. There was another brand that l looked at - HPD - but not as common.

Catch cans do they work or a popular con. What do you expect it will do other than possibily keeping you inlet manifold a little cleaner, for what reason ?

Catch cans capture oil mists which would normally mix with soot particles in "recycled" exhaust gases, creating this sort of thing.

Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) multiplies the amount of soot that enters the intake manifold.

An "EGR delete" kit sorts that, I have been reliably informed!

Catch can gets rid of the oil, but it seems that EGR delete gets rid of the carbon and needs no maintenance. Cheers

Yep surprisingly they say Repco is best . Any way of preventing oil getting into inlet is a good thing . It doesnt effect EPA emissions as long as its not vented to atmosphere like the old style catch cans / oil separators . Yes theres some fitting cheap and charging good money . Even fitting a hose or pipe that is higher off rocker cover so its harder for oil to transmit to EGR or inlet . PCV & EGR are two different things .
