how come my coupe is running fine without an oil ctach can and oil isnt leaking???? dont i need one??? and what is it for??

 

why would you need one? your oiling system should be a closed system as it is. got a plug on the bottom to drain it and a cap on top to fill it. in the mean time the oil doesnt leave your block unless if your running a turbo

 

so why do hondas come with them stock from factory cause my other eg had one and i can see the hoses for the cannister

 

ppl put them on aftermarket b/c they blow oil out of their valve cover where the breather is... i just ran a hose on it to the ground. i think its just so u dont blow oil on ur motor... i didint think they came stock but i may be wrong

You sure you're not thinking of the charcoal canister? That looks similar to a oil catch can, but serves a completely different purpose.

 

^^^that's what I'm thinking. I could be wrong, but I've never seen a OEM catch can.

 

Yeah, youre thinking of a charcoal canister..

piston rings arent 100% round, and solid

gas/vapors blow through the gaps., and create postive pressure in the oil pan. without some way to release that presure...... your oil pan seal, or rings/ something has to give. and itll create a leak.

honda uses a closed loop system meaning they just through it back into the intake tract, to burn it.

great fr emissons not great for performance,

some add more, clean out the valve cover, use AN fittings, braze/gtaw female fittings on to them so they are removable.

have fun

so what these kids are doing is removing the charcoal cansiter, and intake feed lines, making/modifying plugs, to introduce it into a cansiter like device with a filter and drain on the bottom.

filter lets vapors out (breather) drain lets blown out oil, and soot out.

 

it might be the canister. withch is for vapors. .

oil catch can only goes in TURBO charged vehicles.. turboed cars dispence a lot of oil blow by.. i had an srt4. they do it A LOT...LOL.. just my .02 cents. .
