Next on my to-do list for Betty is to install an oil catch can. Just got it in the mail today and it looks pretty nice. If I ever get my car back from the dealer I might even install it! haha

The kit I got was from Amazon, cost about 30 bucks and looks like a decent set. It came with 3 different size fittings with o-rings, some teflon tape, hardware to mount it up, and even some steel wool to put in the can to help catch any particles going back into the engine. It has a dipstick too which is nice so you can keep an eye on how it's filling up pretty easily. It does include a double baffle system on the inlet but there is no bronze filter on this model like some more expensive kits include. With these things the sky is the limit but this looked like a nice middle ground to the top of the line units for hundreds of dollars to the super cheap models that are under 20 bucks. I shopped around and read the reviews and it seemed like a pretty good buy so I went for it.

Here's the link: Amazon.com: Ruien Universal 350ml Oil Catch Can Tank 0046 Aluminum Polish Baffled Reservoir Silver: Automotive

Stay tuned in the coming weeks for install pics and comments.

i am also interested in this mod. would like an update as i looked into it for and for a gen 1 and it seemed like you had to break the valve to get it in line wondering if gen 2 is the same (might have just been a bad method on youtube lots of those )

Hey guys. Sorry I haven't posted in a while. This year keeps throwing curveballs. I'm changing my oil in a couple weeks I might mock up a bracket while I'm doing that. The plan is to 3d print a bracket from some ABS filament I have in the shop to make a nice clean custom look.

@Strawberry644 You don't have to break the valve but you do have cut and splice into the factory "T" from looking at it before.

you could tap and install the brass baffle. its just an air muffler essentially. I have a pile of them from work projects I will say I personally would use the steel wool near the inlet port of the catch can it will help with catching particles as well as help the oil vapor to condensate and return to liquid form.. the brass filters honestly dont breath that well in my opinion. Id stick with the baffle system already in the can and the wool. again just my thoughts
