Hey Y’all,

I’m looking to get an oil catch can for my ST. Who makes the best oil catch can with a large capacity and some nice looking fittings?

I'm actually designing one as we speak. Aluminum, TIG welded, 10an fittings (5/8" line), internally baffled and vented to atomsphere.

UPR is the best, but J&L does 95% of the job and is half as much.

The J&L is also easier to install.

I prefer the looks of the Mishimoto but I grabbed a JLT today on a deal I could not pass on. I've had good success with them in the past as well. Looking forward to installing it!

I went Mishimoto due to price. Otherwise would have gone UPR. Easy install and no regrets.

I have had UPR in the past. It would capture a few ounces of oily condensate every 5000 miles. Grabbed a Mishimoto for the new ST. How much oily condensate are you getting with the Mishimoto??

JLT for me. Used them in my mustangs for years and they never disappoint.

Plus, the price is right.

I'm liking the way this catch can looks, please, tell me more! When is the Beta testing going to happen? I'll volunteer! What's the cost going to be and does it cover all of the crank case issues?
Regards

Outside of the almighty dollar it's going to come down to preference I think. For the most par the function of them is really similar on the ones listed. I went with mishimoto the same time I did hood struts and was shopping for the intercooler. Easy to get to and looks super clean like some have mentioned.

I apologize if I am hijacking this thread, but how do you clean the Mishimoto catch can? Is the canister two piece where you screw off the bottom half?

I have J&L catch cans on my 2020 ST, F150,2005 GTO and my wife's 2019 Avalon. They have my thumbs up.

I bought a UPR dual valve oil catch can for my 25' ST. I hated spending that much $ for what it is. The build quality of the received product is great and I have read no ill opinions other than the same issue I have which is the price. I have a Steeda brand oil catch can on my 2018 Fusion Sport that has always seemed to work well.

The can is threaded on so you can screw off and empty. It also has a plug in the bottom you could use or install a drain hose if desired. Plenty of options.

I always thread mine off and empty it once a month. Not very much in there usually. Didn't like how full it got when I went to each oil change so just when I remember each month.

Same here. Only get about a half inch or so in the bottom. But I also know if I am feeling frisky for a week or two it definitely builds up more.
