RULLINE Universal 350ml Oil Catch Can Tank 0046 Aluminum Polish Baffled Reservoir Black Upgraded Braided Hose

I ordered three (3) of these and installed two on both of my cars; one on ny 2012 Prius "v" and another on my 2016 Nissan Versa Note. The quality of the the billet T6061 aluminum components is exceptional. The cup is made from a multistage deep draw process like that used to make oxygen and scuba high pressure tanks. It's wall is thicker than it needs to be. The outside is still precision machined for a near perfect match to the valve body. Having been a machinist in manufacturing processes and an auto mechanic for many years, I can tell quality when I see it. At $36 delivered by Amazon Prime, these oil catch cans are an exceptional bargain. Yes, the vinyl hose in junk. I replaced it with the recommended 3/8 inch gas line hose. The fittings are also high quality CNC "ORB" or (o ring on boss) hydraulic quality fittings. The O rings supplied are undersized for the fittings supplied. I replaced the low quality undersized O rings with Viton ones. There was no O ring on the dipstick, while there is a channel to take one. I placed a correctly sized Viton O ring in the channel, so that it would seal correctly. Instead of the worm drive band clamps, I used OEM quality 5/8 inch constant spring tension hose clamps for the entire installation. The Hillman brand was also purchased on Amazon.com. Since some of the component nipples on the hoses are plastic, worm drive band clamps exert perssure points on plastic that would eventually damage those fittings. That's why constant even tension spring clamps are suppied as OEM equipment, The install on the Prius "v" was fitted with custom made stainless steel strip brackets fashioned to fit the OEM mount in the space left by the removal of the original filter box to install the HPS cold air intake that I purchased last year from Amazon.com. On both installs, I repositioned the OEM PCV hose and connected it with the 5/8 clamps to hone nipples that I custom machine from black PEEK (polyeitheretherketone) plastic. Those who do not have machine tools can use commercially available hose nipples. I would highly recommend this oil catch can to any user. A friend of mine liked the photos of the Prius"v" install so much, that I sent him a prepared set with the correct brackets, hoses and clamps, that he installed it in 30 minutes.

Compared various products and prices for the oil catch cans and chose the Ruien 0046. Read the reviews and was a little skeptical of this product as reviews were mixed, but liked the price. No disappointments. Really a quality item. Well made and a heavy piece. Comes with 6 line fittings (3 for inlet & 3 for the outlet) that can be matched to whatever hose size you might use. Also is included is some teflon tape to wrap on the threads of the fittings to create a tight seal. The supplied hose is a thin wall flexible plastic. I can see how in some applications it might collapse. So consider this a "generic" hose, but you may find yourself going to the parts store to get a hose that fits your application, not only with a matching ID, but also in length depending on where you locate the can - so I don't see this as a "negative" point to be considered. A stainless steel scouring pad is included that goes inside the canister. The lower section that will capture the oil screws on and off and is sealed with a large rubber o-ring at the base of the threads. The Inlet and Outlet ports are well marked. Has a dipstick that screws into the top and can be easily unscrewed to check the oil fill level of the can. No o-ring is used to seal it as it has a machined taper at the base which tightens securely into the top plate to create a good seal. Nice shiny black exterior finish. A basic side mount bracket is screwed to the top section. It might work as is, or you may have to fabricate up another bracket to mount on your car and then mount the can to it. If you are adding something like this, then you know how to fabricate if needed. No odd smells or oily parts. Did not see any machined chips, but I will flush and blow it out which I would do anyway prior to installation. So I think this is a great value for the size and price, very complete in application & installation, and am very please with what I received. I would buy again if needed for another vehicle.

So, I installed this piece on my 2000 Ford Lightning F150. After seeing the sticker shock on some of the aftermarket air/oil separators, I decided that there was no way I was going to fork over the money to get one of those set ups. Firstly, the catch can itself is nice. It has a baffled area at the inlet, and the inlet is completely isolated from the outlet internally so there is no alternate path for the air or oil to travel. The dipstick is a nice touch, and despite it not having an O-ring it seals up perfectly. I did not experience the nasty smell or find any metal shavings like some others did. I give this unit 4 stars simply because of the catch can itself. The reason I did not give 5 stars is because the hoses and fittings leave a lot to be desired. The fittings are okay, and they work well enough, but they honestly feel like they are made of plastic. Having said that, I am currently using them and they are doing their job. However, the hoses are absolute trash. The hose is a very soft rubber with no reinforcement whatsoever, and it will collapse with engine vacuum alone which is a big problem. Get yourself 4 or 5 feet of 1/2" fuel hose that is reinforced from a local auto parts store and you are in business. Overall, I would buy this again and I am considering adding one to the driver side valve cover as well just to be extra safe and because it is cheap modification.

6 month review: Gen2 2006 Prius has no room for any catch can at the upper throttle body level. Installed it in a small space just behind the bottom of the radiator, roughly center. Can is accessed from below the engine near the oil filter. Works fine. Bought quality hose from Napa. In this install the original hose exits the PCV valve horizontal then drops about 18" to the can. Then exits the can and rises about 18" to the bottom of the throttle body. The can was mounted using a custom bent L bracket connected to near the radiator frame. One advantage to this install may be gravity. Fluids naturally flow from either direction to the can. This Prius used about 1 qt 5W30 every 1300 miles. The throttle body lower was routinely wet with puddled clean oil. Two can clean outs over 6 months produced about 200mls of clear watery non-flammable liquid and a small amount of yellowish globs of higher density. Little or no apparent oil as was expected. Conclusion: For some odd reason the oil stink the car once had seems less or none. Not sure why. Also, the oil seems cleaner on the dipstick after 6 months and smells normal. The oil usage is far less as well. Not at all sure why?????? The question is where was the throttle body oil coming from and why. It was assumed from the PCV system. It would appear the oil may have been coming from the engine side of the throttle body? It is unclear how the catch can could be lowering oil usage and making the oil cleaner??????? The can itself is well made. The kit included steel wool. It may be best to avoid this like the plague. It is magnetic and has lots of tiny fragments that could easy get sucked into the throttle body then the valves. Even one frag in a valve could be really bad for the seat or the seal. It's just not worth the risk The Can works fine without it especially if using gravity. Added Vaseline to the threads and oring.

Throw away the hose, it's not vacuum line. They shouldn't include this accessory since it perceptively cheapens the product. I used 5/8 to match up with my system, so the I didn't use the 1/2" fittings, but the fittings are good quality. The catch can is nicely made and I added a drain valve by drilling and tapping the catch cup with a 3/8" npt. Once installed it would be difficult to get the can off. Now I can just flip the lever valve open. Others claim the aluminum will shed shavings after use or cross thread easy. I wouldn't worry about this. It's anodized nicely which provides a hard coat on all the Al. As for cross threading, just be careful, any careless person can cross thread steel too. Some say the dipstick is useless but it actually works, if I see the yellow/brown goop on it (see picture) I know it's time to clean. One person complained that it needed an o-ring seal for the dipstick. This is a low pressure vacuum system, and uses a tappered wedge seal like many water bottle lids use which is completely effective and I prefer since simple is better in this case. The bracket was worthless to me. I can't see it being that useful to any application. I welded together a bracket of my own. In the end it took a while to get everything I needed for the odd ball connectors on my Audi but it's done and is hopefully working. I'll check back after a few thousand miles. Update: After having this on for 20k miles it definitely collects a lot of gunk and and a some oil, my car only uses 3/4qt/10k miles. Most of what it collects is a emulsified oil & fuel mixture. It smells like paint thinner and kerosene. I added 2 stars back since it works so effectively, see picture above. When I poured this mixture into a clear tea bottle it does separate over time with about 70% water and a couple other layers of stuff on top. I found my drain valve became plugged and I need to add a larger valve with a least a 1/4" diameter through hole rather than the small toggle air valve with a 1/8" orifice. Since it wasn't draining properly through the valve, it filled to the top and my car began to smell like gas or exhaust on the inside. If you get this smell, clean your seperator. Once I cleaned it and put it back together the smell went away. I'll be checking this more often like every 3-5k. I think this is must have on the Audi pre 2016 engines that have carbon build up problems on the intake system and valves. I have the 2013 A6 with the 3.0 supercharged V6. It now 58k miles and I've been running this for 20k miles.

Overall this is a decent catch can especially for older engines or cheaper vehicles. I will give my opinions on the pros and cons of this catch can and what should be changed about it. The Pros: Lightweight Easy to install Sturdy Construction of the canister Easy disassembly and cleaning Simple and clean look Seems to work fairly well for engines that push a lot of pressure through the PCV system. The Cons: Mounting bracket is a little tight Fittings are thin aluminum and are probably prone to crack due to vibration Included hoses are terrible and the hoses flattened out when under vacuum completely unusable Included hose clamps don't work and broke due to extremely paper thin aluminum What I would recommend needs to change to make this a worthwhile buy: Kit Needs to include : 5/16" or 1/4" steel hose clamps, this upgrade probably wouldn't cost the company much as steel hose clamps are very cheap and more sturdy than aluminum ones. 1 3ft section of 3/8" vacuum hose or fuel line. The silicon/rubber lines crush under vacuum and will kill the engine if used for long periods. If the company included fuel line or vacuum hose it would only increase the price about 3 to 5 dollars especially if the company buys fuel line in bulk. Include 2 steel wool instead of 1. Conclusion: Overall I'm very impressed with this cheap catch can after I went out and purchased 3/8" fuel hose and installed everything. I think if the company/manufacturer changed what came with the kit it would be worth while. All in with the hoses and clamps plus the kit I was only about $30 into it which is still cheaper than a step up in catch can quality. I will update my review after a couple thousand miles.

The can is very solid feeling, and the fittings are good too. I really like that they include several fitting sizes and oring for each. They also include the oil resistant thread seal tape, and lots of it. I had plenty to cover both fittings and the dipstick thread as well. Remember to wrap the tape around approximately three times, and in the correct direction so it won't unravel the tape as you tighten the threads. I still had so much tape I could have wrapped everything again. As others have said, the hose is...well. It is listed as high pressure fuel hose. After extensive testing, I found it will only collapsed under the extreme pressure of blocking one side and inhaling through the other. I wouldn't even bother. I personally like the multiduty hose you can find at most auto shops. After driving it 40 miles, it doesn't appear to have and vacuum leaks, but I'll still do a spray down test as well. After a couple of days of driving, impatience got the better of me. I popped it open and found some fresh oil caught. Not much, but more than I'd like to see. So it not only caught some oil from being burned off, but it also told me I have a bad PCV valve. Nice benefit there! The hose for mine is a 5/16...part number H1704 at napa. Other hose sizes will be similar numbers. Only a couple dollars per foot. The clamps worked perfectly for the hose too. Edit: No idea why I gave this 4/5 stars. Absolutely deserves 5/5, apologies to the seller/company. Replaced my PCV valve and pulled the can again. I don't know how well it show in the picture but it really looks like chocolate milk, so it is working phenomenally. Here's to hoping it doesn't have to work overtime now! My 30 year old motor is stock, but sounds incredibly smooth even at high rpms, so hoping this will help with any further excessive wear and keep it running even longer. (1994 F150 5.0 XLT)

I bought this in October, although the Internet opinions were 50-50 about its utility. Now it’s March and I decided to check it as I was doing something else in the engine compartment. I was blown away! Not only the cylinder was half full, but I believe it contained both water and oil and in between there was a blob of some nasty whitish stuff that dropped into the bottle that I’m using for spent oil. I am super happy about this, as you will see from the pictures that I took. All that junk would have been in my engine.I highly recommend having either this or something similar. By the way, I installed it on a 2011 Toyota FJ cruiser. The third picture is showing you that it is indeed half of the cylinder. The fourth picture shows the gunk that was still at the bottom of it after I drained it.

Found that it works well easy to fit, had to buy 19mm hose apart from that the product is great,delivery was quick well done Amazon.

Good

No vale la pena ahorrar en unos pesos cuando las mangueras son de malísima calidad, no trae adaptadores para la conexión rápida y sale más caro comprar todo por separado.

It has very good fit and finish, all threaded material was very nice as well but i will add as other have stated, it did smell like it just came out of a solvent tank and the hose they supply is garbage ! But over all, no complaints ! :)
