$30 Oil Catch Can, DIY - Toyota Yaris Forums

Ogredude,

Thank you for the DIY! It gave me the confidence to do this for myself.

I got all the parts at Home Depot, and more of them than you listed due to the lower valve of the Husky filters not closing worth a crap, but I came in at just under $20.

1) Small Husky fuel filter: $12
2) 2 3/8" pipe fittings: $4
3) Drip sprinkler: $1.50
4) Sprinkler goof plugs: $2

Total: $19.50

The drip sprinkler was the cheapest way to get a few millimeters of the 150 PSI drip hose that would fit the nipple on the bottom of the filter, and a goof plug caps it off. Other than that my install was identical to yours.

I just did this mod myself. What you say sounds interesting, but I have no clue what the drip hose and goof caps are. Are you able to kindly post a pic. or two? Thanks.!

On my Supra, I just vented the PCV to atmosphere. What's the point in spending money on a catch can?

You let your Supra get all grimy from blow by? After an hour of running the RX7, that crap is everywhere when I have a leak on the vent hose.

Well I had a metal braided hose running from the vents down to the oil drain plug, I never had problems with leaks. I thought it looked kinda cool like that.

Friend of mine did the same thing with his Corolla SR5, still working great on his car.
