Alright, that's sad. Looks like I have to use that oil catch can with no air filter on top of it to maintain right engine oil pressure? Those oil catch cans come with an air filter that could be attached on a top of the can or just the plug(to block the hole) instead of an air filter. I'm wondering what's gonna happen with an internal engine oil pressure after that catch can installation - will it get lower which is bad for the engine or not that much? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way the catch-can can impact on the oil pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without the filter an air chamber will slightly increase anyway by additional hoses and can's volume, but I think it's not gonna affect the pressure too much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that we can all understand what you're referring to post a link to where you read that a catch-can is able to influence the oil pressure.

NzP Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 do u wanna say driving with no dipstick, for example, won't affect ur oil pressure? That's pretty similar situation as a catch can with an air filter. Ok, I'll try and then I'll post results. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driving without the oil dipstick will not impact the oil pressure, unless the loss of oil is such that the oil pump loses suction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
