I did the one on the pcv side first. I bought one from the neon store before i found out I cound get one from the hardware store for $20.00. It's ok, it holds a lot more oil and compliments the CAI in the looks department. Thanks for your help.
i 'm sort of confused here about this occ ,is there actually 2 of them that need to be installed ?and if so just exactly where does the second one go?[i know one goes to the pcv]the link for this modification is very good but it only shows where the pcv occ goes.any input on this would be greatly appreciated.?
topcop441: between the valve cover and the intake on the drivers side. if you have the stock intake you don't need one, the valve cover line ends at a filter in the intake air box. definitely need one if you install a short ram or a cold air intake. valve cover>>>cc>>>intake.
thank you very much for the answer,i still have the stock one right now so i guess i wont need one on that side,installed the pcv side and was very easy.
now how come everyone refers it to being $20 Oil Catch Can. The only one that i can find through these links cost $50 bucks. If i'm wrong please point me in the right direction lol, I'm very jewish with my money sometimes lol no offense
1. The OCC resevoir is plastic & had a sticker on it specificaly stating not to be used with synthetic oil. Should I be worried?
2. Where did you mount the OCC between the valve cover & the intake? (Any pics?)
I mounted the the other one exactly where Dusty (think it was him) did in his pic (zip ties & all), so far so good. There is already oil building up in it. Makes me wonder if I should check the oil level (if any) in my intercooler for I drove about 30k without the catch can! (Why didn't I install it sooner!?!)
All in all it was EXTREMELY easy to do and made for a good little Sunday project.

I will post this yet again: Auto Zone has them in their Campbell Hausfeld section, it's a mini all purpose air filter, part # MP5138. It is only $12.99, but you will need to buy the hose and fittings as well.

If any new owners out there are curious about what one of these OCCs actually "catch", here's a pic of a Campbell-Hausfeld (Lowe's) mini filter after about 300 miles of mixed driving. This ones mounted on the passenger side (PCV). Glad this stuff didn't go into my intake.
