Oil Catch Cans

[JgenG]

Is there any risk of increased crankcase pressure using the baffled oil catch cans with fine bronze filter, specially in the winter where there is chance of freezing and clogging the filter?

Good question. Do your best to mix some oil, fuel and water, soak the filter and put it in the freezer. Then try blowing through it. Let us know. Do a Google search.

If your oil freezes in winter you have bigger problems than a catch can.

IIRC the bronze filter is on the return side of the catch can so most of the oil would be trapped in the filter media in the can (if it has any) which is a greater surface area. Should not be a problem.

I got more oil in my CC than I expected after only 5 months so was worthwhile to install in my case.

Yes agree, but there is moisture too in there, not sure what the freezing point of oil water mixture is
