VehiMata Oil Catch Can Kit 300ml Baffled Aluminum — Universal Black, M16×1.5 Inline/VC Breather

VehiMata Oil Catch Can Kit is a compact 300ml baffled aluminum reservoir that traps oil and blow-by contaminants before they re-enter the intake, available in a universal black finish for many car applications.

This VehiMata kit is designed to reduce oil and moisture recirculation in engines by separating liquid and heavier particles from crankcase vapors. Built from lightweight aluminum with internal baffling, the 300ml can connects inline with 3/8" ID PCV or breather hoses and uses M16×1.5 inlet/outlet threads. It can be configured as a sealed inline can for PCV systems or as a vented breather solution on older engines that lack a PCV valve (breather filter not included).

How does this catch can fit my car?

The VehiMata catch can uses universal sizing and standard connections to work with most passenger vehicles, provided there is adequate space for installation. Check hose diameters and mounting clearance before ordering.

• Hose compatibility: 3/8" ID (5/8" OD) — confirm your existing PCV/breather hose size.
• Hose length included: 31.5 in (0.8 m) for flexible routing in varied engine bays.
• Thread size: inlet and outlet M16×1.5 for secure fittings.
• Space requirement: measure mounting spot to ensure room for the 300ml canister.

What does the internal baffling do for engine performance?

Internal baffles slow and redirect crankcase vapors so oil droplets and heavier particles condense and drain into the can instead of reaching the intake. This reduces carbon buildup on intake valves and throttle bodies over time.

• Baffled design captures oil mist and prevents splash-through during cornering.
• Helps keep intake tract cleaner by separating liquids from vapor flow.
• 300ml capacity reduces frequency of emptying for many everyday drivers.

How should I install and maintain the kit?

Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper routing and sealing. The kit can be mounted upright or sideways depending on space, and must be emptied routinely to preserve effectiveness.

• Can be used as sealed inline unit for PCV or vented with breather on pre-PCV cars (breather filter not included).
• Empty and clean regularly—weekly checks if operating in cold, damp climates to avoid freeze risk.
• Use correct clamps and fittings; replace hoses if hardened or cracked for reliable sealing.
• VehiMata recommends compatible replacements and professional service for best results.

Are there any environmental or temperature considerations?

Moisture buildup inside a vented catch can can freeze in sub-zero conditions, so monitoring and maintenance are important in cold climates. Using the unit inline with the PCV reduces direct exposure to outside air, lowering condensation risk.

• Freezing risk: vented setups can accumulate moisture that may freeze; inspect before cold snaps.
• Weekly inspection recommended where temperatures approach or drop below freezing.
• Sealed inline installation minimizes moisture ingress compared with a vented breather setup.

Who is this for? The VehiMata Oil Catch Can Kit is aimed at motorists who want to reduce oil contamination in the intake tract—enthusiasts, daily drivers, and anyone maintaining older engines without integrated PCV control. It’s also appropriate for owners seeking a durable aluminum solution with universal hose compatibility and a moderate 300ml capacity. If you value cleaner intake components, reduced carbon build-up risk, and the option to run the unit as sealed or vented, this compact, baffled catch can is a practical upgrade. Note: breather filter is not included and professional installation is advised for optimal performance.
