IS250 Oil Catch Can Install + PCV Valve Replacement
After 13 years, I finally got around to installing an oil blow-by catch can to reduce the carbon buildup. I also did some breather filters for the valve cover and intake on this project, the full DIY is on YouTube but the photos and parts are below.
I mounted using the bracket that came with the can and an L bracket for the IKEA dresser tip-over safety kits.
That is the L-bracket mounted into the 10mm radiator reservoir screw.
The kit came with a vacuum hose but it was too short, so I picked up some air hose at Harbor Freight for $6 which worked with 3' to spare. Also picked up an air/oil separator and 3/8-inch connector kit to connect the new hose to OEM PCV hose.
The can mounted with plenty of clearance for the pulleys and fan shroud.
Did you notice any performance or wear benefits for replacing the hose that connects to the side of the intake charge tube with the two breather filters on each end?
do know what size of hose is needed for the part of the tube coming out of the engine/valve cover?
Don't do it...I forgot this car uses MAF not MAP, so the breathers on the intake causes unmetered air and a CEL.
If you want, you can cap that intake hole and put a breather on the valve cover to prevent oil reentering the air stream.

yeah good tip, thanks. Are you going to buy/try the new style headlights from ingenuity time? They’re different than the hcmotion new release, but at a glance look similar.
