    Default Oil Catch Can VE V6

    hey all,

    I recently bought a OCC for my Alloytec 195.

    Its coming this week hopefully and i'm wanting to know if there is anywhere on the alloytec's where i can get my mechanic to plumb it back into the oil system? Otherwise its just going to build up in the can, and i'd rather the oil go back to the sump.

    Any ideas/possible solutions would be appreciated.

    Thanks.

    My car has an issue where quite a bit of oil i believe is coming through the pcv valve and then in turn will be in the can, was just trying to find out if there is somewhere to plumb it if it is coming through that pipe.

    Thanks

    YOU MUST NOT ROUTE BACK TO ENGINE OIL system ... from what I have seen trust me you don't want that nasty mixture to get into your engine.

    The thing collected in catch can is not only engine oil vapor. But also fuel and water vapors which condensate in the catch can and mix up forming a real mixed dirty material.

    Generally in summers this is really negligable amount. All 5 summer month it didnt even fill my tiny catch can. But in winter it got filled like every month (I have like 250cc catch can).
