One of the best ways to keep your Lexus LS 500 running at it's best is to keep deposits out of the intake tract and engine. The best way to do this is to use an oil catch can that is designed to remove any oil and other contaminants from the crankcase ventilation that modern cars use to prevent those contaminants from getting to the atmosphere. Mishimoto has released a new Baffled Oil Catch can that will stop that oil vapor from getting into your motor and dirtying it up. Mishimoto started with a clean sheet design and decided to come up with a simple, adaptable, and reusable catch can design.
Mishimoto uses 6061 aluminum to make the top and bottom sections of the catch can. Available in a 2 port or 3 port configuration for use in a multitude of vehicles. From there they made a universal mounting bracket that allows you to rotate the catch can for optimum alignment of the side inlet and outlet for ease of mounting. To help separate the oil inside the can, they use grooves in the inlet to energize the air and help it shed any oil or other residue before traveling through the 40-50 micron bronze filter attached to the top outlet. Inside the can there is a baffled plate that keeps the collected oil from sloshing around during performance driving conditions. There is an easy lower drain valve to allow you to empty the can without having to remove it from the car.
