Oil Catch Cans, Separators & Filters | Black Ops Auto Works

Shop engine oil system parts, catch cans, oil separators, and filtration components at Black Ops Auto Works. Explore vehicle-specific options for routine service, crankcase ventilation upgrades, and engine builds. This collection brings together oil pans, pumps, pickups, baffles, filters, caps, dipsticks, drain plugs, and motor oils alongside catch can systems for supported HEMI, LS, LT, and other engine platforms.

Oil Catch Cans and Air Oil Separators

Oil catch cans and air oil separators help separate oil mist from crankcase ventilation gases. Product options include application-specific systems from Billet Technology, MightyMouse, J&L, Mishimoto, AAD Performance, and Corsa. Mounting brackets, hose routing, fittings, and ventilation configurations vary by kit.

Browse our oil catch cans for supported applications including Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Charger, Challenger, Durango, Ram TRX, Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and select Cadillac and Ford models. Match the kit to the exact engine and ventilation system rather than choosing by vehicle name alone.

Oil Filters and Filtration Hardware

Engine oil filters and related filtration components serve a different purpose from a catch can. An engine oil filter works in the lubrication circuit, while a catch can operates in the crankcase ventilation system. Neither replaces the other.

When selecting a filter, confirm the specified application, mounting style, thread, sealing surface, and any required bypass or anti-drainback features. Filter blocks and specialty inline filters also require compatibility checks for their intended circuit, fittings, and installation location.

Oil Pans, Pickups, Pumps, and Baffles

Choose oil pans, pickups, pumps, and baffles as compatible parts of the same lubrication system. Engine family alone may not establish fitment. Pan shape, sump location, chassis clearance, pickup design, and existing engine modifications can affect which components work together.

For an engine build, follow the component manufacturer's specifications for pickup clearance, installation, and priming. Do not assume a higher-volume pump or larger-capacity pan is the correct choice for every combination.

Oil Caps, Dipsticks, and Service Components

Finish your maintenance or engine-bay project with application-specific oil caps, fill tubes, dipsticks, and drain plugs. Confirm whether an oil cap listing is a complete replacement or a decorative cover for the original cap.

Match drain plug threads and sealing hardware to the pan. When changing a pan, tube, or dipstick, verify that the combination provides an accurate oil-level reading using the manufacturer's specified procedure.

Motor Oil for Your Engine Application

Explore our motor oil selection using the viscosity and performance specifications required for your engine. For modified engines, follow the engine builder's guidance alongside the requirements of installed components.

Oil selection, fill quantity, and service intervals are application-specific. A catch can or other oil system upgrade does not eliminate routine oil changes, filter replacement, or oil-level checks.

Before You Order Oil System Parts

  • Confirm the vehicle's year, model, engine, and relevant modifications.
  • Check wet-sump or dry-sump compatibility where applicable.
  • Verify mounting locations, hose routing, fittings, and available clearance.
  • Match pans, pickups, pumps, and dipsticks to the complete installation.
  • Review included brackets, hoses, seals, and service hardware.
  • Read the installation and maintenance requirements for the selected product.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does an oil catch can replace the engine oil filter?

No. A catch can separates material from crankcase ventilation gases. The engine oil filter filters circulating lubricant. Continue the required oil and filter service schedule.

Are oil catch cans and air oil separators always different?

Manufacturers use these names differently. Check the actual design, hose connections, and maintenance instructions. Do not assume that a product automatically returns collected oil to the engine because it is called an air oil separator.

How often should I empty an oil catch can?

Follow the manufacturer's instructions and inspect it regularly after installation to establish a suitable interval. Collection rates vary with the engine, operating conditions, and driving habits.

Will a universal catch can fit without additional parts?

Not necessarily. A universal unit may require separate brackets, hoses, fittings, and installation planning. Review the included components before comparing it with a vehicle-specific kit.

Can I choose an oil pan by engine size alone?

No. Confirm the engine configuration, chassis clearance, sump position, pickup compatibility, and dipstick arrangement. Review the complete fitment information before ordering.
