[UNC Rubicon]

Wow, only 100 miles or is that a typo?

ml is short for milliliters not miles.

It says 100 ml (milliliters) not miles.

LOL, that's what I get for being up after midnight! Thanks for the correction!

Catch can is a must on direct injection engine (PVC side) to minimize sludge buildup on top of your valves.
Port injection - no benefit since valves get washed down with fuel.

Good baffled catch can cost no more then $30, you just have to get fuel rated hoses from auto parts store (they will not get soft on you).

Pictured below is same exact catch can that Mushimo sells for $200.
Buy additional oem PVC hose and reuse connections (If want to save your original).
Only thing missing is fancy mount bracket.

Dumb idea or not? Just received my UPR catch can and seeing how the factory hose is ran I thought about just leaving the factory hose in place and capping the ends of it to keep trash out. Just in case a time comes where I need to remove the catch can and reconnect the factory hose.

I think I had considered the same, but if memory serves (on the 3.6L) it would be in the way.

If you need to remove just use a hose joiner to join the in/out hose.

What type of fitting is that called? I've looked but haven't had any luck, even called UPR.

UPR catch can, 11k miles worth of oil collection on my 2020 JLR 3.6 engine, very pleased with my purchase.

I have a 2018 JLR 3.6 engine and installed my OIL CAN and it is worth it... I have posted my results and told Joe, great product. Now if I do just highway/city driving only check every oil change at 5k... If I do major inclines I check it next day after cool down. If you see a smoking butt... tell them to get it.. O the original UPR...

@joe@upr

Great pictures and thanks for sharing. Just wanted to add the fact that the UPR catch cans fill up so fast is because they coalesce so much better than the other catch can designs. The majority of other designs let an excessive amount of oil escape and pass right through the catch can and only leave a small percent of what's actually traveling through the PCV system.

Even though many see oil in other catch can's they don't realize it's usually just a fraction of what they should be catching causing the placebo effect. We always have customers tell us their catch cans fill up quicker than brand x they used to have and they cannot believe the difference in the diffuser/filter for coalescing can make such a big difference.

Also, we will be offering an upgrade for existing customers with a different bottom to the catch can more geared to rock crawling and true JEEP designated component like all our kits as we don't believe in one size fits all products like all the other brands.

Have a great day, Joe

Hey Joe - do you guys have a version for the 2.0T yet? I've been watching the Mishimoto threads and since I live in high altitude I'm worried about throwing CEL lights. If UPR has a viable option I'm very interested! (didn't see anything about the 2.0T on your site tho...)

Hey joe, I notice the JL has two ventilation ports. One on each valve cover. One feeds into the intake before the throttle body and one after the throttle body. Why do aftermarket catch can systems only address one of these breathers ? The other one is left to dump oil vapour into the inlet before the throttle body?
should I catch can both lines?
