Got my Sxth Element in ....saw oil in the lines happy I got it done

Oil is separated from water and fuel vapor in the BMS OCC and then gravity drains back to the crankcase.

Does this mean there are 3 hoses? One from the pcv value, one going to the air intake and one hose going to the crank case?

I have seen people use 2 catch cans. What is the second catch can for? Is there 2 pcv values on the engine because it is a V6?

Just ordered Mishimoto direct fit from Amazon. Order went through and said there were 3 left. Should have it this week. We'll see.

Two hoses, the PCV already comes from the crank case. The problem is the factory air/oil separator near the PCV is inadequate and lets oil droplets pass through along with PCV vapor. So we separate those back out and gravity drain them back to your oil pan where they belong.

People often buy two cans because they mistakenly believe they need two cans. The boost side (that we don't touch with the BMS solution) has not proven to have any significant benefit so there is little need for an OCC on it. The vacuum side is the problem on this specific platform.

Pardon my ignorance Terry, but when you see the guys from the colder climates get that brown guck in there cans where does this stuff go in your system. Thx

The gunk is a mixture of water, fuel, and oil. Water and fuel vapor are able to pass through our OCC in to the intake manifold to be combusted where it belongs. The oil is what you want to keep out of the intake manifold and combustion.

Hey terry one question is it good to let the gunk mixture (used oil) go back to combustion? I’ve always been told 50-50 some people say yes it is cool some people say no... reusing used oil for Re-combustion Thanks for your time

No in a direct injection vehicle you must keep oil out of the intake manifold. Otherwise it will coat the valves and cake on as there is no fuel injection there to clean them off. With direct injection fuel is injected directly in to the cylinder.

Mishimoto can is now saying 'Currently unavailable' on Amazon. Wonder if I'll be getting a refund.

If you ordered while it was in stock, you will get it.

It is probably saying "Currently Unavailable" because I ordered the last one on Amazon last night.

Great to hear. I had wondered if they changed it to unavailable after I ordered and they found out it was out of stock. Sounds like 3 of us ordered in the last day or so.

After all the back ordered and unavailable notifications, I made an offer on the Mishi on eBay which was accepted and is allegedly on its way.

Of course I forgot to check eBay.

 

[Buzzrush]

Yup...that’s were I got mine. I looked everywhere and contacted everyone...nuthin. I got the last one that a seller had on eBay. Love it...collects a ton of gunk and about a 5 min install. Good stuff . Definitely the way to go.
