Oil Catch Cans any recomendations?

I bought the last Provent in stock at Western Filters (Blacktown, NSW) today. They will have more stock in a week or 2. It was a good price too, so pays to ring around. Now to work out how to install it and what tubing to use.

Use 19mm copper tubing and silicon hoses. You can heat up copper to cherry red temperature than quickly cool it in the water and it will be very easy to form the bends

Use 19mm copper tubing and silicon hoses. You can heat up copper to cherry red temperature than quickly cool it down in water and it will be very easy to form onto the shape you want. When finished, paint it black.

That's how I will do it on our Golf.

..or you can just buy copper bends at bunnings for very little. I ran my hose is one section without any bends, as I wanted to keep the flow as high as possible. It's tricky with the engine bay confines, the size of the Provent, and the inflexible nature of decent oil resistant hose.

Enjoy!!

Does anyone have a rough idea of the cost of the H&M Provent?? Not fitted obviously. Just thinking about what I might need to fit when I get my rig.

Budget for $350-400 incl. good silicone hoses and 1 spare filter and you should be all right.
You can check my installation in my T5 here.

How much is oil proof hose per meter?

I think I paid $120.00 for 2m of that blue silicon hose. You need only 1.5m. Installation is a breeze, plenty of room there.

The Provent itself goes for about $200 plus post which is what I paid. Filters about $60, but you'll get 25-30k out of the initial one.

12,000ks and mine was blocked. About $70 to replace the filter. Lasting not as long as would have hoped !

Hi mate,
How and where did you connect the small dia. port at the bottom of Provent? If you plugged it or used too short hose and plugged the end that would drown the filter in oil. I connected mine to long hose and I drain it frequently.
