Under normal circumstances, oil vapours from the crank casing are vented into the air intake system of the Mazda MX-5. This is seen as a more environmentally friendly option rather than venting these oil vapours to the atmosphere. However, over time these oil vapours can mix with the gas and soot from the EGR to create a thick sludge inside the intake manifold.

Radium?s Oil catch can work by isolating oil-saturated-air from the cam/crank casing. In a single can setup, lines are run from both the PCV valve, the line that would usually run straight into the intake manifold, as well as the crank case breather, this would usually run straight into the air intake.?

They are both plumbed into the same catch can which allows the oil-saturated-air to cool, separating the oil sludge from the air. This oil sludge collects in the bottom of the catch tank, and the oil-free air is allowed to enter back into the air intake and intake manifold.

Radium’s cans are run on a closed-loop system so you do not vent any air to the atmosphere, instead, you collect it in the can.

By running an oil catch tank, you can:

  • Improve your engine performance by using cleaner air
  • Prevent oil sludge buildup in your intake manifold
  • Lower overall emissions

This kit comes with all necessary tanks, brackets, fittings, pipes and screws.

Please note, you cannot use the stock air intake with these cans as this catch can bolts to the air intake mounting holes.

Making a warranty claim

Proof of purchase receipt showing the date of purchase, proof of mileage at installation, proof of current mileage and invoice of the work undertaken by an independent experienced professional mechanic must be supplied along with the returned products for a warranty claim to be considered. If your vehicle needs to be used whilst your warranty claim is considered replacement parts from the same manufacturer should be purchased through BOFI Racing. In the event of a successful warranty claim, we will refund the card that was originally used to purchase the replacement parts, in full or in part depending on the nature of the claim. BOFI Racing reserves the right to make full or partial compensation at its sole discretion depending on the condition and mileage use of the returned suspect parts. For example, if you have used the part for several thousand miles before a defect is noticed, only partial compensation may be offered.
