Positive Crankcase Ventilation
$109.53 – $244.95. The Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve hose is a hose running from the valve cover on the engine to either the intake air box or the intake manifold. The PCV valve is activated when crankcase pressure rises in the engine when running.
What is a baffled catch can?
What the Baffled Catch Can does is place a filter or series of baffles in between the PCV and the intake. With the filter or baffles, the catch can separate the oil/gas/air blow by mixture, trapping the oil and contaminates, while it allows the cleaner air to pass through, drawn by a vacuum into the intake.

Why do I need an oil catch can?

How does an oil catch can work on a direct injection engine?
Since direct injection engines shoot fuel directly into the cylinder, there’s nothing preventing gunk from building up. An oil catch can acts as a filter, plugging into this hose line to “catch” the contaminants before they can reach the intake.
