Install Date: The oil catch can was installed on 08/11/2019.
Note: Anytime someone modifies their engine with non OEM accessory, they assume the risk of voiding their vehicle's mfgr's warranty and possibly damaging the vehicle if proper care is not taken. By following these suggestions, you are at your own risk as I do not assume responsibility of your install.
Definition: An oil catch tank (oil catch can) is a device that is fitted into the cam/crank case ventilation system (PCV) on a car. Installing an oil catch tank (can) aims to reduce the amount of oil vapors re-circulated into the intake of the engine.
Engine: With the introduction of the G5 Odyssey, the van was also equipped with the J35Y6. This is a Direct Fuel Injection (DI) engine, part of the Earth Dreams line, that is shared among the '15+ Acura TLX, '16+ Pilot, '17+ Ridgeline, and '19+ Passport. With the switch to DI , unlike the Port Fuel Injection, fuel is not available to 'clean' off deposits on the back of the intake valves. Many engines were rumored to have 'gunked up' intake valves due to this.
