It installs either as a vented breather (breather filter not included) for pre-PCV setups or inline between PCV hoses for vehicles with a closed crankcase ventilation system. The kit fits most cars and light trucks when there is adequate space, with 3\/8\" hose ID and M16x1.5 threaded inlet\/outlet for common hose and fitting compatibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the baffled layout improve oil separation?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe internal baffle design slows and redirects airflow to encourage condensation of oil vapor into droplets that then collect in the can rather than continuing to the intake. Slower airflow and multiple redirection surfaces give oil more time to coalesce, which increases capture efficiency compared with a straight-through tube.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBaffled internal chamber reduces vapor velocity and promotes droplet formation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e300ml reservoir captures a measurable amount before needing service.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight aluminum construction disperses heat and resists corrosion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this VehiMata catch can fit my vehicle and how do I install it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe catch can is sold as a universal unit intended for many car and light-truck applications, but you should confirm available space and hose routing before buying. It connects using 3\/8\" ID (5\/8\" OD) hose and M16x1.5 threaded fittings; the kit includes a 0.8m hose that covers typical engine-bay distances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHose length: 31.5in \/ 0.8m for flexible routing options.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThread size M16x1.5 matches many aftermarket fittings and adapters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProfessional installation recommended for leak-free sealing and proper placement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use the can as a sealed inline unit or as a vented breather?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the VehiMata kit is versatile. For older cars without a PCV system you can fit a breather filter and vent to atmosphere (filter not included); on vehicles with a closed PCV circuit, install it inline between the valve cover and intake to trap oil while retaining a sealed system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVented setup: add an external breather filter to vent to atmosphere (not included).\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInline setup: install between PCV hoses to maintain a closed crankcase route.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRecommended: weekly visual checks in cold climates to avoid moisture freezing issues.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should I maintain and service the VehiMata catch can?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoutine inspection and periodic draining keep the can working effectively; frequency depends on driving style and engine condition. Remove and empty the 300ml reservoir when you notice collected oil or during scheduled maintenance; clean the internal baffle and hoses to prevent buildup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCapacity: 300ml — empty before it reaches full to avoid overflow.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCold-weather note: moisture can freeze in very low temperatures; inspect more often.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVehiMata recommends occasional replacement of hoses and professional servicing as needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho is this for: The VehiMata 300ml aluminum baffled oil catch can suits enthusiasts, DIY mechanics and technicians who want a compact, durable solution to reduce oil vapor and residue reaching the intake or turbo system. It’s a good fit for older cars converted to breathers, turbocharged engines that benefit from cleaner intake plumbing, or any vehicle where accessible space and matching hose\/thread sizes allow a universal install. If you need precise fitment or prefer plug-and-play systems, consult a professional or check VehiMata accessory parts for improved compatibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Does the kit include a breather filter?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No. The kit can be fitted with a breather filter for vented setups, but the breather filter is not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: What hose and thread sizes does it use?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: It uses 3\/8\" ID (5\/8\" OD) hose, 31.5in\/0.8m length, and M16x1.5 inlet\/outlet threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"VehiMata","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55167361646935,"sku":"B0F5HQ7THY","price":45.13,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1050\/1524\/7191\/files\/vehimata-front-view-can-assembly.jpg?v=1790384789","url":"https:\/\/britishgarage.co.uk\/products\/vehimata-oil-catch-can-kit-300ml-aluminum-baffled-black-universal-3-8-hose-m16x1-5","provider":"British Garage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
