[DIY] Oil catch tank

[Izso]

Just be sure to get the right type of black hose. Some aren't meant to be used for ATF and some aren't fuel friendly, etc. Just get the shop to recommend the right one

BTW, off topic... can sifu here recommend some spare part shop around PJ or Kepong? I'm looking for wheel bearing. The price in online shop is like half the price the mechanic quote to me. They said all fake.

What car is this? Front or rear wheels? Ask around a few spare parts shop. As long as they offer bearings from reputable manufacturers like FAG, NTN, SKF, Koyo, etc, it should be okay.

For my Wira's Front wheel.

Wira is a national car. Parts are plenty. Just get from normal spare parts shop. Shoppee already indicated how much they should approximately cost.

Thanks for the advice guys, I end up didn't use the transparent hose. Bought a black hose from Shopee because my regular spare part shop does not have this hose and so does hardware shop. The hose size is a little bit too small for the oil catch can so I tried forcing it with took a lot of effort. Eventually it went in enough and did not break the hose.

Connecting the OCT to that spot on your Myvi means you're going to need to drain the OCT weekly. That spot is very very oil heavy. You should filter the spot that routes back to the throttle body.

Sorry, I don't quite get it. You mean I plug the return hose into the wrong place? I should have plugged into the breather hose at the other side of the engine (like in your first attempt)?

actually, your OCT setup is good enough actually. Bu you'll need to be careful about the oil levels. Pour out the oil frequently.
