What is the purpose of an air/oil separator catch can?

An air/oil separator catch can is installed in the PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) system to capture oil vapor and blow-by gases. This prevents those contaminants from being recirculated back into the intake manifold and combustion chamber, helping to keep engine components cleaner.

How often does this catch can need to be serviced?

The frequency of servicing depends on driving conditions, but it's generally recommended to check and drain the catch can regularly, typically every few thousand miles or when it appears to be about half full. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for specific guidance.

Does this catch can come with all the necessary hardware for installation?

This product is designed as a direct fit for the specified Lotus models. While it includes the catch can itself, you should refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions to confirm if any additional mounting hardware or specific hoses are included or required for installation.

About this part

Product Details

This Moroso air/oil separator catch can is made specifically for the 2005 through 2011 Lotus Elise and Exige models. It's designed to help keep your engine's intake system cleaner by capturing oil vapor and blow-by gases that would otherwise get recirculated. Over time, these vapors can build up on intake valves and in the combustion chamber, reducing efficiency and potentially causing issues. This catch can intercepts that oil mist before it can cause problems.

Constructed from solid billet aluminum, this catch can is built to last and handle the heat and pressure found in the engine bay. Moroso has a long history of making well-built performance parts, and this catch can is no exception. It features a unique internal baffle system designed to effectively separate the oil from the air and gas mixture. The can itself is designed to be easily drained and serviced, which is important for regular maintenance. Installation involves connecting it into your engine's PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) system, rerouting the vapors through the can.

When you're working on a performance vehicle like the Lotus Elise or Exige, keeping the intake system clean is crucial for maintaining optimal engine performance. This Moroso catch can is a solid option for enthusiasts looking to improve their engine's health and longevity. It's a direct fit for the specified models, meaning it's made to install without major modifications. Remember to check the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details on connecting and servicing the unit.
