DIY: Oil Catch Can for Rogue

[Qashqai]

wow what happened here? two hours ago everything was in harmony and peace in the forum...

I should wait until the dust settles...

But I learned a new word: pedantic. Thank you!

[UR2EZ]

O prob! And don't worry about the troll, there is no danger of a catch can melting, it's never happened. If you really want to discuss this mod with some intelligent people, you will have to go to the G 35 driver forum i linked. Hundreds of people have done this mod and like I said none of them have ever melted or had a problem you'll be perfectly safe

[UR2EZ]

This is 1 of the most common and popular mods for the G 35, all I did was find the connections on the rogue. Anyone who tells you this mod is dangerous for your car is quite frankly a moron. They are the same type of people who tell you that a K&N filter will foul your maf sensor. They choose to blatantly ignore the fact that this mod is incredibly common and has been done hundreds of documented times without a single instance of failure or problem.

O prob! And don't worry about the troll

you insult me, any NICO staff, or any of our members one more time, and you'll be taking a vacation. mark my words pall.
just because someone follows the specified instructions on any given product, does not mean they are a so called "troll". the troll is the one who ignores clear and concise instructions and installs products that are known to degrade with the use of synthetic oils. if you wish to use a product that will not degrade with the use of synthic oils, then go for it- and i applaud you for taking this mod on. THERE IS A REASON WHY TRANSMISSION & FUEL LINES ARE DIFFERENT. YOU KNOW WHY BUDDY? BECAUSE NOT ALL RUBBERS OR PLASTICS ARE THE SAME. CERTAIN CHEMICALS IN THE LIQUIDS DEGRADE AND SOFTEN THE RUBBERS/PLASTICS. but you, you'd use one line for both right? because according to your non existent chemical engineering degree = "its all the same and since hundreds of ricers did it, it must be safe."

there is no danger of a catch can melting, it's never happened.

you obviously have no idea wtf your talking about. WHY DO YOU THINK THE MANUFACTURER OF THE CATCH FILTER WROTE SUCH A THING ON THEIR WARNING LABEL? WHY DO YOU CHOSE TO IGNORE THE VERY OBVIOUS? IF YOUR CARELESS, DONT YOU DARE COME ON HERE AND ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO BE AS RECKLESS AS YOU ARE. SCREW WITH YOUR OWN RIDE ALL YOU WANT- BUT BE READY TO BE CALLED OUT ON YOUR FOOLISHNESS WHEN YOU COME TO NICO. we do not encourage ricer styled nonsense.

If you really want to discuss this mod with some intelligent people, you will have to go to the G 35 driver forum i linked.

YOUR LUCKY I AM EVEN ALLOWING THIS LINK, AS THAT IS AGAINST THE RULES YOU AGREED TO ABIDE BY. but for arguments sake, ill keep it for now.

Hundreds of people have done this mod and like I said none of them have ever melted or had a problem you'll be perfectly safe

and like i stated before, i could give two hoots about all these "hundreds" of people. just because a group of idiots on some forums used such filters, when the manufacturer clearly advised against = doesn't mean we are as stupid as those "hundreds of people". i again, point this image out to you, WHILE YOU CHOOSE TO IGNORE IT:

This is 1 of the most common and popular mods for the G 35, all I did was find the connections on the rogue. Anyone who tells you this mod is dangerous for your car is quite frankly a moron.

your right. anyone who says a catch-can is "dangerous" is a fool. we are not arguing about 'to mod, or not to mod'. we are arguing about using specific products that claim to degrade over-time when exposed to synthetic oils. if you choose to ignore that, then do so; but i will NOT stand idle and allow members follow in your foolish footsteps. so keep the condensing s*** to yourself. got it?

BOTTOM LINE: Rubber and plastic are oil based compounds which will dissolve in oil based solvents.(unless treated and made to withstand. if the warning label states to keep away, then obvious it was not made to withstand said solvents.)

I'm with you, everything was all kittens and rose petals and suddenly this.

Everyone agrees that a catch can is a good idea, the problem is re-purposing something for automotive use when it clearly isn't made for such things. While it is unlikely that any damage could happen, the simple fact that the air filter separator thing isn't actually made for automotive purpose does say something. I would be more worried about some small failure of the screen or something, and having that suck into your engine. That is the main difference with a catch can, there are no smaller plastic or rubber, mesh pieces that could become brittle when constantly submitted to under hood temperatures.

Now...having said that. I actually have ran both. Waaaaay back in the day when I first had my sentra I heard about that harbor freight thingy, and did the install on my sentra. After about a day and half I decided I couldn't keep that thing on there and not worry about some kind of degradation of the element or some other issue. That is when I purchased the OBX one I linked to, and was much more happy with the way it looked and the fact that it was like 20 ounce or 24 ounce capacity.

I personally applaud you for taking the initiative and doing it to your Rogue. At the very least, you have done a nice write up detailing the hoses/lines that need to be tapped into. I may personally use that but I don't think I will use the harbor freight method. I will more than likely use the one I did before, as I was happy with it overall.

Lastly, you are talking smack to one of the mod's of the site, which is a quick way to get banned. I think we all need to take a deep breath and realize that we are all tuners and some of us disagree with how to do things.

Keep on wrenching. And what do you think about doing a throttle body coolant bypass? I have the pieces needed and since I live in Arizona I don't really need my throttle body superheated. Just a thought.

very well said!

[UR2EZ]

You obviously didn't read the instructions before posting your response. You are supposed to remove the innards of the filter. all of the filters say not for use with oil and yet over 7 years none of them have ever melte or degraded, so therefore you lose the argument by example. All I did was transform a popular g35 mod into a rogue mod, and I only joined this form so that I could spread the useful knowledge. It's no wonder people on the driver forum consider this forum to be a complete joke, it's full of trolls who would rather argue about certain types of plastic than simply observe that this modification and this repurpose filter is perfectly safe and has never shown a single failure. It's hilarious to me that you fear mongers would still suggest to people who don't know any better is a possibility of melting when there is actually no such possibility proven by example. The best way to win an argument is by showing an example so please show me where a catch can has melted or failed and I will concede your point until then you have lost the argument I .will not be returning to the forum

[UR2EZ]

This mod has been used for about 7 years from people with Evo and G 35 and various cars. Very good, you dug up a photo of a bottle with a warning label, congrats. Use the bottle i recommend from Home Depot, and not the one you happened to find in your image search, and you will be fine, as it doesn't melt or degrade from contact with oil. Please show me 1 example of this catch can that has failed or melted! Congratulations you have just run off a valuable member of the forum who is far more knowledgeable than you on the subject of modifications. And that is why your forum is a complete joke. I won't be coming back here feel free to ban me, I prefer it actually. I was just trying to help your pathetic little forum by adding some modifications to the list of threads, didn't think I was going to get flamed by idiots who suggest that the plastic will melt because they found an image of a bottle with a warning label. Argumentation/Debate 101, find an example to help prove your argument is plausible in the real world - well here are 200 examples of success, and none of failure

actually, you are right, NICO is known to be a little different than other forums. NICO is known shut down rice-boys down instantly. hate it or love it, but NICO has an extremely knowledgeable staff, that dont fear telling people when they are wrong, or are doing something stupid. we wont stop you from doing something stupid, but we will let others know that whatever it is you are doing is questionable and not advisable. if you cant handle the truth, facts, and people that choose to do things the right way - go back to the fan-boy forums you came from. posting threads like this: http://g35driver.com/forums/lounge-off- ... t-got.html - claiming: "being debadged could have it's advantages when running from the cops" - that type of level of immaturity, wont be accepted well, especially on NICO. and its no surprise that you posses such immature character traits.

It's hilarious to me that you fear mongers would still suggest to people who don't know any better is a possibility of melting

i guess the company who made the product, stating that the use of synthetic oils will cause the polycarbonate plastic to rupture - is just another "fear monger" on your list? Mmm-ok

I .will not be returning to the forum

im not surprised your acting like a coward, and running off when questioned. mature adults told you, that you using a filter system designed for pneumatic air compressors - to filter out engine PCV systems could fail since some are not designed to withstand contact with synthetic oils (as stated on the warning label by the manufacturer) and you do what? RUN LIKE A IMMATURE CHILD. dont let the door hit you in the a**.

This mod has been used for about 7 years from people with Evo and G 35 and various cars. Please show me 1 example of a cat scan that has failed or melted!

i dont care even if Bugatti forums used it. it is, what it is. i have seen certain plastics and certain metals get degraded by coming in contact with certain oils. as i explained, the use of GL5 gear oil will eat up copper components in a gear box. there is also a reason why transmission fluid lines are different than oil/fuel lines. why? because certain fluids erode certain components. and if one manufacturer of hose states to NOT use with certain types of fluids = i wont use it. nor will i advise anyone to risk it, because other morons are doing it on forums without fail. SO GO DROP YOUR "KNOWLEDGE" ON SOME IMMATURE KIDS, WHO DONT KNOW BETTER.

Congratulations you have just run off a valuable member of the forum who is far more knowledgeable than you on the subject of modifications.

oh yea, your really knowledgeable. so knowledge, that you cant even realize that certain oils/petroleum products weaken certain plastics.
here is a question posted on Mobil1 website: http://www.mobiloil.com/USA-English/Mot ... astic.aspx
Question: Will Synthetic Oil Degrade Plastic?
Will your synthetic oil degrade plastic at all? I plan to use your motor oil to lubricate small metal, plastic and polycarbonate parts, and I was concerned as to whether or not synthetic oil will degrade plastic.

Answer: Unfortunately we do not have any specific data with plastic or polycarbonate parts. However the product is packaged in HDPE plastic and is compatible with this type of plastic.

WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU??? THAT MOBIL1 ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THEY HAVE NOT DONE TESTING TO SEE IF THEIR ENGINE OIL WILL DEGRADE CERTAIN PLASTICS. THE ONLY PLASTIC THAT THEY CAN GUARANTEE TO NOT FAIL WHEN IN CONTACT WITH THEIR OIL IS HDPE PLASTIC.

And that is why your forum is a complete joke. I won't be coming back here feel free to ban me, I prefer it actually. I was just trying to help your pathetic little forum by adding some modifications to the list of threads, didn't think I was going to get flamed by idiots who suggest that it's a possibility of melting plastic even though that's never happened .good day

dont let the door hit you in the a**. you obviously dont have the testicular fortitude to accept that you are wrong and the fact that certain plastics are NOT designed to be around petroleum products; so enjoy your fan-boy forums where everyone copies one another and pats each other on the back.

2)metal, rust-proof can
Rust-proof. This should be obvious because the car is operated outdoors. Metal is the choice because of it's ability to withstand high temperatures. The polycarbonate cans used in the $15 air compressor filters can melt. In addition, the gaskets inside of them may rupture under the high temperature environment of the engine bay. This will result in an air leak in the PCV system and that's not what you want. The metal also augments the coalescing filter in that it helps to condense the oil vapor. The Watts filter described in the pdf can withstand up to 180F. Polycarbonate usually goes only up to 125F.

I've used this kind of a catch can before. It works ok, It's plastic so it won't last long, it also leaks like crazy, even after I sealed it.

I got my metal catch can off ebay, to replace my plastic melting one.

I would highly recommend using a metal catch can, as some plastics will not react favourably with the fairly nasty fuel/oil/exhaust gas combination you will be pumping through it.

Look how full mine is after about 4 months. And that is on a car that has only 30k miles, and has never seen redline, driven by an Asian girl who goes less than a mile per day. The Corvette forum you linked is about a car drastically different. Any oil going in the intake is bad, not just large amounts, and after several years, it adds up

If you read through the link you will see Corvette owners who clearly state their catch can is virtually empty when they drive their vehicles gently yet fills up when they drive it hard. This demonstrates that the way you drive your vehicle may relate to how much oil you get in your catch can and is backed up by the person with the Sentra above who states they get a tablespoon every couple months.

With results like this the amount is negligible, in my opinion, in the grand scheme of things. While it may "help" the "help" it does may not be noticeable and may not contribute to an increase in engine life/component life. It's one of those mods that, when done to a vehicle like a Nissan Rogue, may be more about peace of mind than actually having an effect on the lifespan of the vehicle.

You can spend countless hours and hundreds (or thousands) of dollars doing these sort of "increase the life span" mods to your vehicle. In the end, there is no evidence it will actually increase the life of the vehicle under your ownership and I think we can all agree it's not as if modifications like this will return you any higher of a resale value. This is where I am coming from, my time is a limited resource and I would rather spend my time (when it comes to my cars) doings things that are proven to save me money or increase my enjoyment over the time I own the car.

well said mate. hence why i said to sQash: "put it this way, i have never had a catch can, and all my nissans have driven 150,000 miles plus without any engine issues. is it a must? not at all. simply a precaution that is really intended for high revving engines. those with turbo's really need this. cars like Porsche's come with these already. race bikes too."

dont get me wrong, its a good mod; but you gotta use the right equipment for the job. if you use equipment that is labeled to fail when used with synth oils = your better off not doing this mod at all. I LOVE SAVING MONEY and saving others money- but cutting corners and using unsafe equipment can end up in serious issues. so for this reason alone i had to call the OP's bluff out.

[Qashqai]

Congratulations you have just run off a valuable member of the forum who is far more knowledgeable than you on the subject of modifications.

ImStricken, you didn't ban him? did you? please don't. I would like to learn more valuable modifications from him. ....That was hilarious. Are you a child?

Anyway...

ImStricken may or may not be knowledgeable on "modifying the cars". Who cares? Maybe he doesn't know how to add 10 horsepower (I bet he knows ) but he is experienced in engines, transmission, suspension, electronics, mechanics, etc...the stuff that I, a daily driver, need to know when smoke comes under the hood!!

I tried to step back and watch, but I couldn't stop commenting when I read:

And that is why your forum is a complete joke.

I am a member of this forum since the day I purchased my Rogue. I am checking the posted threads many times during the day just to see what other fellow Rogue owners are experiencing during their daily usage. I don't care how they "pimped their ride", I just want to learn how they prevent their door sills from scratching, where they found the frameless 14" passenger side wiper blade or which wire is positive in the 12V socket or how they are changing the rear differential fluid...

ImStricken spent a lot of time to answer all the questions I asked so far and all the answers helped me a lot to diagnose the problems, solve them or use it while talking to the mechanics. That is a "service" he provide for "free". And he have a life outside NICO as well. I am grateful for all his help so far. I think he deserves respect.

[Qashqai]

..and for an "oil catch can", you can always use a little imagination

[ImStricken06]

ImStricken, you didn't ban him? did you? please don't. I would like to learn more valuable modifications from him. ....That was hilarious. Are you a child?

not to worry- i wont ban him. i encourage him to come back and "school" us with his knowledge lol. plus i want him to read the replies that will educate him. i dont want him to continue to spew is "knowledge" on anyone else. he WILL walk away from NICO a better, smarter, more educated person - or i have not done my job.

and regarding his BS nonsense regarding being more knowledgeable than me? might be so- heck im only human. i only have 15years of wrench time. there are plenty guys out there with 10x's more knowledge than me. but one thing i am knowledgeable in is seeing through the nonsense that rice-racers spew on forums- and cutting it off before someone makes a mistake by following in their foot-steps. if this buffoon wants to use his method, so be it. but ill be damned if i allow his BS to go uncorrected.

[ImStricken06]

oh PS: this buffoon already had his warranty claims denied due to his super cool catch can system.
http://g35driver.com/forums/dfw-g35-own ... -ghey.html

so i found oil pooling under the coil pack, on the spark plug (#6 i think), so i closed it back up and took it in...
now grubb's says the oil catch can is "putting too much pressure on the crankshaft"
i call bs, but rather than argue with them and end up with pissed-off shoddy tech work under my hood, i'm just going to remove the can and take it too crest instead.

just thought i'd let everyone know, so you don't suffer the same inconvenience i have...

i can only imagine how the techs were laughing when looking under his hood. id love to ask this numb-skull why in his opinion does GREDDY, one of the #1 aftermarket auto parts supplier for Nissan enthusiasts, uses a METAL catch can:

[casperfun]

..........just because a group of idiots on some forums .............NICO is known shut down rice-boys down

Ouch.

I think all group of car enthusiasts should be treated with respect. It's unfortunate with all the name calling and screaming.

I can compare this guy to a person going into Bitog and telling everybody that your engine won't explode if you decide not to change your oil after 3000 miles. I guess 99% of the time, an oil catch can does not damage your vehicle for people who have done this mod. Point taken.

I for one like to go to Borgata to relax and get free drinks/buffets/shows. The Water Club is refreshing with the pool and all. Good place to escape the stresses of the real world.

Thank God I follow the speed limit.

[kilogram]

I use an oil vapor separator from a GM quad4 on my MR2. $5 from the u-pull and works better than most of the stuff available on the aftermarket as it was designed to deal with large volumes of oil from the timing case. Mine collects mostly water.

About filling the can when the car is driven hard, a lot of cars have drainage issues in the heads when subject to lateral g's, and will tend to blow oil out the crankcase vent, which is why they fill up when driven hard, but don't fill up when driven lightly.

A. i am not looking for an argument "pretty hard".

• 1. i simply wanted to warn people of the dangers of using a plastic item, when its clearly advised not to expose to synthetic oils. those who refuse to accept or heed such warnings, can go ahead and do so- but be ready to be berated by those who have more knowledge and experience. if your buddy(and i know he is your buddy, more on that in a minute)- chooses to use a pringles can as an air intake hose, and tells me tons of others are doing it, dont expect to have everyone in on your idea's.
  
  be ready to have a discussion(thats what forum are for right? at least the last time I checked they were) as to what you are doing, why, the dangers, the pro/cons, etc. your buddy took the warnings not only from "silly labels", and from those who understand and have personally seen plastics degrade when exposed to oils, and ran like a little coward that he is. he ran off to another Rogue forum, and posted an identical thread- yet again hoping to have a crowd patting him on the back. guess what... your friend lives in a world where everyone gets trophies and he is always right, and he is the smartest/best. this isnt your friend's mommies house. be ready to deal with the real world, and to be questioned. if your friend cant hack it, take a walk to some other forum that endorses those like your friend.
  
  2. IF YOU READ THE WHOLE THREAD, VERSUS FLAPPING OFF FROM WHAT YOU HEARD FROM YOUR BUDDY, you would see that i am ALL FOR SUCH A MOD. i just profess to use the appropriate tools and or supplies to do this mod.

B. i find your behavior suspect at best, and i find your true intentions in question.

  2. i checked the IP's on both of your accounts, and you JUST SO HAPPEN to be coming out of Texas, the same state the OP is in.

No, his first mistake was not posting it in the engine forum where it belonged. Just seemed really odd they way he went about posting and defending his assertions.

Everyone is entitled to their informed opinion.

And doing said research shows this is intended primarily for turbocharged engines. IMO, given that, I see little benefit for the non turbo QR engines in our Rogues. To paraphrase a line from Jurassic Park, just because you can do it, doesn't mean you should.
