Oil Catch Can - Toyota Yaris Forums

dkwilfert · 10-11-2020, 04:50 AM

FYI, I put a catch can on my wife's 08 Yaris some years ago, and at the regular oil changes (5000 mile intervals) it collects 10-15 cc's of oil that would otherwise have gone into the intake and behind the valves to form deposits. No, the car does not burn any noticeable oil between oil changes so there is no excess blowby into the crankcase; I've see similar oil collection rates on other cars I have had with catch cans. On these direct injection engines you can't add fuel system cleaner to get at the deposits on the valves, so PREVENTION is the best cure to maintain a clean system.
