I may want to install an oil vapor catch can on my wife's Trax. How do I get to it? Where is it at?
The catch can takes in the oil vapor from the hose that comes from the engine to the PCV valve and delivers the oil-free air into the PCV valve and back to the air intake.
You then empty the can every so often (usually at oil change time). This then prevents oil vapor/sludge/carbon build up on the backs of the intake valves.
Decent catch cans go for around $30 USD but can cost much, much more.
