zerOne Oil Catch Tank

Vehicle type    : Proton Satria Mivec 1.6 (Mr. Stoney Lee)

1. Before this, I’ve problems with my throttle body which needs to be service from time to time. If not there will be lagging during acceleration and feel the car is under power.
2. After proposed by my mechanic, I’ve fixed this zerOne oil catch tank for almost 4 months. Surprisingly, it’s not only stopping the oil vapour to dirt my air-filter but also the throttle body. Now, I can feel the car is more powerful and quicker response during my acceleration. Besides, it’s also enhancing under bonnet appearance.

Why must fix an oil catch tank - If your engine breathes back into its induction system it is recirculating oxygenless oil-laden air back into the fuel mix. As the induction system operates at full efficiency on oxygenated air then fitting a catch tank will gain horsepower, as well as prevent carbon & sludge build up in the induction system (especially throttle body). Simply removing the emissions & breather system will tend to result in a very grimy engine bay, as well as being detrimental to the environment. For race cars showing any indications of oil fumes from their breather system will be required to fit an oil catch tank to ensure the engine is clean from time to time.
