Oil catch cans and breather tanks look similar and do similar jobs, but they serve different purposes.

Oil Catch Cans

Normally, the PCV (positive crankcase ventilation) valve uses intake vacuum to relieve the pressure inside your crankcase, but that can result in oil mist and other blow-by contaminants building up on the valve and pistons, especially in direct-injection engines. An oil catch can (sometimes called an air/oil separator) is installed between the PCV valve and the intake, where it removes contaminants and allows only clean air to return to the intake manifold. Some have a reservoir that needs to be drained...

Oil catch cans and breather tanks look similar and do similar jobs, but they serve different purposes.

Oil Catch Cans

Normally, the PCV (positive crankcase ventilation) valve uses intake vacuum to relieve the pressure inside your crankcase, but that can result in oil mist and other blow-by contaminants building up on the valve and pistons, especially in direct-injection engines. An oil catch can (sometimes called an air/oil separator) is installed between the PCV valve and the intake, where it removes contaminants and allows only clean air to return to the intake manifold. Some have a reservoir that needs to be drained regularly, while others are plumbed to return the oil to the crankcase.

Breather Tanks

In forced induction and racing applications, the build-up of crankcase pressure can be much greater, so a breather tank is designed to vent that excess pressure into the atmosphere. They capture some blow-by with a catch can and air filter, and they may have an oil return. Importantly, breather tanks may not meet local emissions standards.

Top Brands

These devices are easy insurance for your high performance engine, and some builders use both a catch can and a breather tank. Summit Racing Equipment carries catch cans from trusted brands like Moroso, Mishimoto, Canton Racing, Ford Performance, JLT Performance, and many more.

Corsa Oil Catch Cans

Corsa oil catch cans are the latest in a line of performance parts designed to maximize vehicle performance and longevity. Made from 6061 aluminum and featuring a multi-stage oil separation system, the oil catch cans work to eliminate blow-by of gas, water, oil vapors, and particulates from the airpath. By reducing the impacts of blow-by, they prevent damage to sensitive intake components and help reduce carbon build-up on valves that over time reduce engine performance. Each vehicle specific oil catch can has been designed with OEM-style quick-disconnect fittings, premium automotive-grade hoses, and upgraded components to ensure your vehicle runs at peak performance. Through careful design, Corsa engineers have located each oil catch can in an easily accessible yet safe location allowing for ease of serviceability. Features and benefits: * Generous 3 oz. capacity lengthens service interval levels * Machined and powdercoated 11-gauge aluminum brackets provide a easily accessible secure mounting location that will not stress sensitive engine components * Multi-stage system separates oil through a series of chambers, baffles, and a bronze filter, drawing oil from air and preventing re-entry into system * Captures damaging vapors and particulates, eliminating blow-by and reducing long-term wear and tear on your engine * Multi-ply reinforced automotive-grade hoses provide a secure fitment and lasting connection * Threaded can housing allows for ease of serviceability * Flattened, machined catch can top and knurled bottom allow ease of disassembly and serviceability * Although currently not CARB approved CORSA Performance catch cans may help reduce emissions by capturing hydrocarbon emissions * Installs in 30 minutes or less on most applications
