Designed for retrofits and maintenance-minded owners, it reduces oily deposits in the intake tract and gives you a manageable collection point for condensate and blow-by. The can works as either a sealed inline unit for PCV systems or as a vented can with the included breather, so confirm hose diameters and mounting space before fitting. Professional installation is recommended for a clean, leak-free setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this catch can limit carbon and oil buildup in the intake?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe baffled interior plus removable baffle and added steel balls cause vapor and droplets to collide and coalesce, so oil and moisture fall out of the airstream and collect in the can.

It's suitable for many aftermarket and older vehicles where hose sizes match 3\/8\" ID, and for anyone comfortable verifying fitment or arranging professional installation. If you need a larger capacity, different hose size, or factory-specific fittings, consider a model tailored to your vehicle's specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Is this catch can universal for all vehicles?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: It's universal in design but requires a 3\/8\" ID hose and M16x1.5 fittings; measure your hose diameter and clearance before purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: How often should I empty the EVIL ENERGY 300ml can?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Drain interval depends on driving and blow-by; check it monthly and clean more frequently in cold, moist conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"EVIL ENERGY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67586882076857,"sku":"B0DPPJHJPQ","price":108.43,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0822\/3765\/3177\/files\/evil-energy-front-view-catch-can_1981154b-eafa-49cb-97ff-d4fc68c983a0.jpg?v=1790495637","url":"https:\/\/redleafauto.ca\/products\/evil-energy-300ml-baffled-oil-catch-can-kit-aluminum-separator-with-breather-filter-5ft-3-8-nbr-hose","provider":"Redleaf Auto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
