My small Mitsubishi ASX had just enough space to install the big Provent 200. I made a simple bracket myself and it hasn’t moved a mm in 3 years. I get 40,000 km easy, and I service the filter every 10k (and twice in Vic winter due to condensation) by using paper towels to soak excess oil and clean off any sludge. The paper towel trick was recommended by my Benz dealer in Germany. These are great.

Good info in the video, but don't suppose you guys could turn the camera 90 degrees for better viewing?

Yeah I’m on my 3rd filter now and my car is running perfect. I never had a DPF burn since installed catch can!

I just changed my Flashlube Pro element after 40,000 ks of mostly touring work over 4 years. The old element looked perfect, like brand new but changed it out anyway. I have collected all the oil drained during the 40,000 ks. It would be approximately 600 to 700 ml. of oil. Very glad I have had it fitted since Dmax was new.

Been running a provent for a few years now, catches more oil than other cans (especially cheapo eBay specials)

The wee small ones with the dip stick that screws in and out i bought off ebay..soon as i got it i tested it to see if it hold vacuum and found out it didn't. Filled sink with water an blew into one on the holes while other was blocked off and seen where it was leaking. Bubbles appeared from where the dipstick was screwed in. Was able to put an O ring on it and holds vacuum and no leaks. So best to check theres no leaks before fitting.

4:00 bloody great coincidence with that real truck!

I wonder if the factory is filling engines with a light oil as a running in oil, motorbike manufacturers used to do that.

Should i do anything about the crank case ventilations systems on my 1989 td42 venting into the intake manifold theres a slight amount of oil coating at the entrance of the manifold and same on my 1992 2.8 hilux the crank case breathing into the intake both are completely stock and non turbo i just think it could be vented away from the intake to stop the oil residue in the intakes

is there a way to measure a crankcase pressure just to compare before and after installing the occ?

While fitting a provent kit on my 200 I noticed that the inlet and outlet ports are shown incorrectly on Mann & Hummel's diagrams and provent installation guides. The Ryco diagrams show correct orientation (Ryco element interchangable with the Mann). The gases into a coalescing filter should be from the outside of the element with the filter inlet lower than the outlet and with the relief also correctly at the inlet to enabling venting in the case of a blocked filter or full catch can preventing over-pressurisation of the crankcase and subsequent front/rear crankshaft seal failure.

Hi guys, great vid. But no one I have approached has bothered to answer a tech question about the provent. My V6 Amarok and like all other diesel 4by's have an "unrestricted" air flow from the rocker cover to the turbo inlet. Placing a provent in the line means the oily air is now trying to go through a filter, once this filter gets wet with oil how does the "filtered" air pass back into the engine without creating pressure in the rocker cover ? Yes I know provent has a pressure relief valve but bare in mind the oem design has no restriction and my concerns are the built up pressure will force oil leak problems. Thoughts?

@BerrimaDiesel

4 жыл бұрын

Simply- The breathing fumes from your engine go ONE WAY...and thats towards the engine. A proper catch can separates the oil from the fumes. Any pressure (only from the blow by fumes) due to a blocked catch can filter will open a vent. You would normally change the filter about every 40,000km so you wont have this happen. Its German made so the Germans already think ahead and have redundancy.

Sooo. How do you get lubrication into the inlet side? Direct injection means no lubrication over the bottom of the valves that fuel and/oil vapor would normally supply. Therefore in the case of EGR valves a catch can would prevent this lubrication and you would only get dirty soot running over the valves which I imagine is fairly abrasive? Is the catch can REALLY a good idea?

You might want to recheck that. What youve said is youve downsized to the Pro Vent 100 (the FlashLube 100 is made by MAnn Hummel Pro Vent) and that the 'twice as big' PV200 was causing issues. Doesnt really make sense.
