The modern closed PCV/Breather system is intended to recirculate combustion blow-by gases for cleaner operation and to reduce greenhouse gases. An unfortunate consequence of this system is the ingestion of oil vapor and carbon, leaving harmful deposits on a vehicle's intake valves and ports, resulting in an unreliable air/fuel ratio, lost compression, and decreased power. Engineered and manufactured in the USA, the ECS Baffled Oil Catch Can utilizes a highly efficient 4 chamber oil separator that significantly improves oil/air separation - restoring engine power and efficiency.
