Oil Catch Can Universal Baffled Kit with Breather Filter - 300ml

In this review of the EVIL ENERGY Oil Catch Can kit the bottom line is clear: this is a compact, adaptable solution for drivers who want to reduce crankcase oil and moisture re-entering the intake. The reviewer found it best for DIY mechanics and owners of older or modified cars who need either a vented breather or an inline sealed can; the kit's universal fit, 300ml capacity and included 2.6ft of hose make installation straightforward in many engine bays. Its simple design and visible oil collection are the single biggest reasons to consider it.

Key Features

• Universal fit: The kit is designed to fit most cars so installers can usually find clearance and routing without custom fabrication.
• 300ml capacity: The aluminium tank holds a modest volume of oil so it captures crankcase condensate before it reaches the intake.
• Baffled design: Internal baffling helps separate oil from blow-by vapors and reduces carryover into the intake system.
• Breather or sealed use: You can install the included breather filter for pre-PCV setups or run the can inline between PCV hoses as a sealed separator.
• Hose and fittings included: The 2.6ft hose and M161.5 inlet/outlet thread match common PCV plumbing, simplifying installation for most vehicles.

Who It's For

The EVIL ENERGY catch can is a practical choice for enthusiasts, DIY mechanics and owners of older cars or engines with elevated blow-by who want a low-cost way to reduce oil contamination of the intake. It suits installations where a small 300ml tank fits easily and where either a vented breather or inline sealed can is acceptable.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners of high-performance engines that produce very large volumes of blow-by (they may need a larger capacity or aftermarket solution) and users who cannot accommodate the M161.5 fittings or 3/8' internal hose without additional adapters.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good value and build quality compared with more expensive alternatives, according to customers.
• Flexible installation options: use with breather filter or inline with PCV hoses for different setups.
• Includes hose and hardware so most buyers can install without sourcing extra parts.

Cons

• 300ml capacity is modest, so frequent checks and occasional draining are required on some engines.
• At freezing temperatures the crank vent can produce more moisture, so weekly cleaning or original PCV routing may be necessary.

Our Verdict

The EVIL ENERGY Oil Catch Can offers a straightforward, adaptable option for drivers who want to reduce oil and moisture reaching the intake without spending on premium units. It is a good value pick for most daily drivers and hobbyists, provided they accept a 300ml capacity and will perform routine drains or checks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this without the breather filter?
Yes. The can can be installed inline between PCV hoses as a sealed separator or fitted with the breather for vented systems.

How often should I clean or drain it?
Drain frequency depends on engine condition, but because the tank is 300ml check it regularly and more often in cold weather when moisture increases.

Will it fit my car?
The kit is universal and includes 2.6ft of hose and M161.5 fittings, but verify clearance and thread compatibility for your engine bay.
