My only question is , what do you do to the hose you disconnect from the dipstick tube?
After plugging the dipstick tube, does the hose just dangles lose?
Thanks.

i just plugged the hose with a bolt and clamped the hose around the bolt, and just tie wrapped the hose to the dipstick tube ,just so its not dangling all over the place.

Thank you both for the input. If the weather holds up this weekend. I am doing the same mod to my X.

I use a pcv with the catch can just a piece of mind for me , we get allot of condinsation here with extreme temp changes ,could be 6 c 1 day and then -20c the next day and then add into the fact the engine warms up and makes more codinsationon on top of that.

I use a catch can too. I have been using a pcv valve for a year and about 20 thousand miles. There has been zero oil consumption and no negative effects.

I will be doing this mod, does anyone have a picture of the "catch can" added to this system? Thanks

ok some guys are using catch can others not the ones not using it say that they use no oil or see residue on tail pipe like with the ccv or have to add oil so why the need for the can.??

Catch cans in my opinion are moisture collectors.

tahoechallenger 02-12-2016 06:29 PM

I posted a photo of what I drain out of the catch can every 6 weeks or so. If there was no catch can that 4 ounces of oil and water would be sucked into the cylinders and burned with gas. Oil mixed with gas lowers the octane and can lead to misfires. The knock sensor would detect the misfires and reduce timing. The timing reduction leads to less fuel economy. Also that oil and water mix would leave deposits on the top of the piston and exhaust valve. Those deposits also can cause misfires.
The catch can is not necessary for the application, but for $100 I think it is worth it.
