Lexus IS250 IS350 Oil Catch Can Install | Blow-By Carbon Buildup | PCV Valve Replacement
I finally got around to installing an oil catch can on my 2007 IS250. Also replaced the $8 PCV valve with OEM replacement.

Update: don’t do the breathers. These cars use MAF (mass air flow) and not MAP (pressure) so it will trigger CEL for unmetered air.

Going to look at a 08 is250 for 10k with 140k miles. App was reschedule from tomorrow Saturday to Monday due to a check engine light. Pray it’s not related to carbon build up. Thanks for the great content, will be installing a occ for sure.
Great video. Now I know that this is a common problem with IS250. Few months ago my car was running rough/engine light on and stalling. Took the head apart and cleaned the carbon build up with Seafoam. Fixed the problem and car runs great. Now, I need to install this on my IS.

@@TunerwithKids Yep, it depends on your budget. Another trick to share is that to have a good seal around PCV valve to the new hose, I ordered another PCV OEM vent hose($15) which has the right angle and inner diameter. So the new hose(to the oil can) is not going to directly connect to PCV valve, instead it is gonna connect to the new OEM vent hose, which provides a perfect vacuum seal. Good luck.

Good idea on the angled PCV hose. I may look into that next time I have to order any OEM parts.
About those tiny filters on the intake tube, and the camshaft. I also did this, but quickly realized why I shouldn't. Basically what happens is, you are introducing a vacuum leak past the MAF sensor, and into the throttle body, which will cause problems in the long term. For short, you will get a MIL code for lean condition, because the ECU will detect more air in the chamber, then what the MAF is detecting, thus, is will try to compensate with more fuel, which will immediately become apparent with any decent diagnostics which is able to read live data from STFT and LTFT. Do NOT do this! Your car will run lean, and will burn more fuel, AND will destroy your economy, acceleration, catalysator, and potentially the engine itself.

Yea definitely do it. That hose in back of the throttle body is hard to reach if it falls out.
Really liked the install, but you should’ve 3/8 fuel hose instead just rubber air hose because that rubber hose will break down with the corrosiveness of the oil/ fuel blowby overtime. Where the fuel line is designed to handle it.

thanks! 1.I thought the tank thread is metric how can you put not fitting? 2. not sure why the two filters doing? you seems replace the close pipe with two filters?
My question is why didn't Toyota actually engineer an oil catch can into the system? My guess is they know that people won't keep up with the cleaning/maintenance of the can.
Hi. I have doubts if the can is connected in the right place. There is a problem with deposits on the valves. It is logical that you need to disconnect the vent from the intake manifold. What do others think about it?
@TunerwithKids

The PCV vents into the intake manifold from factory. In my setup, it vents thru the catch can and can leads back to intake manifold. Any oil gets collected by can.
I imagine you didn't keep the breather on the intake hose for long? Did it act right with the unregistered air?

That catch can is useless - it has no filter or any way to separate air from oil. There are great catch cans on ebay for $20 that have fine brass type filter and mesh plate (rip of $200 catch cans). You also don't want to use air hoses because gasoline and oil can degrade those hoses.

That breather filter was bad idea, car has a MAF so it introduces unmetered air. Had to put hose back between valve cover and intake. Haven’t opened to see how much I oil has collected but I’ve driven less than 5K miles in the past year. Work from home and IS300 to drive.
What about if you attach the extension hose to the intake side hose directly to the catch can and then fuel hose only from pvc? Will the kink in fuel hose down to pcv cause an issue?
