D22 oil catch can

Help Support Nissan Navara Forum:
it can be fairly normal. especially if the engine is overfilled with oil.
quite common to get people checking oil just after engine has been shut off and topping it up as it reads a little low, which over fills it. which then blows a heap of oil out the breather and fills your catch can up quick.

It's only a little can and agree easy to overfill, I just dropped some out of my sump as it was above full, with the upside down filter that empties in the yd25 at least, I presume you need to check when cold and that oil has flowed back into the sump, never had a vehicle with an upside down filter before but handy when changing.
Grandson no2 installed a catch can on his 3l d22 and he had to change it at least once a month but was doing lots of klm's and motor had done 300k but oil in sump was clean.

Depending how many km's you have done and how big that catch can actually is, that's probably normal, they can stop a surprising amount. It would have all been hitting your turbo impeller as a mist and coating your inlet manifold without the catch can. It's from blow by, so IMO it's not going to make any difference if your sump is a bit overfull (at least I have found no difference).
