DETAILS
The Mishimoto Aluminum Oil Catch Can is designed to prevent harmful oil buildup throughout your turbo system—including the turbocharger, intercooler, intake manifold, and piping. By capturing oil and fuel vapors before they enter the intake tract, this catch can helps maintain consistent combustion temperatures, protects engine components, and preserves overall efficiency.
Each aluminum catch can comes as a complete kit, including a mounting bracket, hose, clamps, fittings, and hardware for a straightforward installation that improves both performance and engine-bay appearance.
Unlike many air-oil separators (AOS) on the market, Mishimoto catch cans are not heated. This allows all blow-by vapors—including low-octane oil mist and contaminated fuel vapor—to fully condense inside the can. And instead of routing that mixture back into the oil pan like most AOS systems, Mishimoto catch cans store it separately, keeping those impurities out of your engine entirely. Once you’ve seen what ends up at the bottom of a catch can, you’ll be glad it stays there.

I was suffering from an unrelated vacuum leak on my 03 WRX when I installed this. When I was able to smoke test to find the leak I also found that one of the inlets and the clear viewing tube on the side of the catch can had leaks. It also did not catch anything after half a year of use and a few thousand miles put on it. Not too sure if that is normal or how quickly residue or liquid builds up inside the can, but it did not seem to do anything in this instance.
Cale,
Thank you for your review of the Mishimoto Universal Aluminum Oil Catch Can. I am sorry to hear that you are not happy with the performance of this catch can and that you have found that it leaks. A catch can will collect sludge and should not fill with oil, if it hasn't caught anything that means you are not getting blow by which is a positive thing.
Regards,
