Might want to take out the filter Professor. And if you're going to spend $11+ on that specific filter, then spend a little extra and get the bigger filter at Home Depot which is filter less, higher capacity, metal top. Works A LOT better than what you have in those pictures. Trust me.

Could not have said it myself. I'm getting tired of the small capacity.


But re: irish44j's posts about its small capacity.

This is a great idea! I've never seen it before on any other car forum but it should work on other vehicles too....right?

Ok guys I went to do this mod today, and after all hooked up i have a vacuum leak coming from the bottom of the filter. The black cap at bottom leaks right out and so does the twist on bottom.....what do you guys do about that?

Which filter is it? The big one or the picture I have on here? Cause I have never heard of such a problem.

Thats weird. I have never had such a problem. Maybe the metal rod on the bottom of the filter is stuck and letting everything leak out.

Let it be known that Husky has two different style small filters. One is capped at bottom and the other has some sort of release valve at bottom. The one that is capped is the right one as the other one is a constant vacuum leak as I just experienced.

Heres a pic to show the difference.



On a side note how do you get the picture to just show on forums not as a link?

Let it be known that a company called Grimspeed makes a oil/air seperator that never needs to be serviced. just install it & forget about it. Cost alittle bit of money, but its a nice looking piece.

Sorry for bumping a 9 year old thread, lol, but I'd like to ask if someone can kindly share a photo of their oil catch can setup for their 5.5gen? All the pics in previous pages are gone.

Looking for some mounting ideas. Thx in advance!
