Video Quick Tech: Installing UPR’s Billet Oil Mini Catch Can

The stock PCV system on most Coyote engines isn’t up to the task of separating out engine oil from the crankcase gasses.

Engine oil in your intake air stream can cause a lot of problems. Most modern PCV systems, even those found on brand new Mustangs are woefully inadequate at blocking engine oil from entering the intake  system as vapor. The oil then forms droplets, and gets drawn back into the intake manifold.

UPR has developed a plug and play solution for Coyote powered Mustangs, that can be installed in about one minute, and requires no tools. The above video demonstes just how easy it is to install.

Installation takes less than a minute. Servicing can be done in seconds thanks to quick connectors utilized in the design.

There are several problems that arise from engine oil in the intake path. One is that the small oil droplets can trap dirt particles, in addition to particles that may already be trapped within those droplets themselves. The oil also coats the insides of intake manifold runners, the intake ports of the cylinder heads, the backs of the valves, and even the tops of pistons.

Engine oil also has a much higher flash point than gasoline. This means that its presence changes the octane of the fuel being burned when enough of the oil vapor or droplets are present. This can lead to incomplete combustion, drivability problems, and even engine damage. It’s especially dangerous for cars with forced induction.

Show quality finish makes this part look right at home under the hood of any 2011-15 Mustang.

The UPR Billet Oil Mini Catch Can, part number AMP-85030-23, utilizes UPR’s proprietary quick connection fittings that are compatible with the OEM connection points, there are no special adapters to install, and it can be put in place in just a few minutes. When the catch can needs to be emptied, it can be removed in seconds for servicing. It even has a show quality finish, so it won’t add any ugly to your under hood dress up efforts.

Whether your Mustang is a daily driver, or weekend warrior, you can benefit from running an oil catch can. Be sure to check out the UPR web-site for more details, and other cool products.
