Around 75% of sales in the 4×4, crossover and SUV market are diesel variants according to research from The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT).
Promising better fuel efficiency and lower CO2, there are of course many perks to choosing a diesel 4×4 over a petrol-powered alternative. One thing that isn’t so applauded is its emissions, especially considering the increasing use of electric vehicles (EVs) on UK roads. Cleaning up your carbon footprint however doesn’t mean replacing your 4×4.
The Flashlube Catch Can Pro is the original diesel fume filter, and one of the best on the market. But what benefits can be unlocked by upgrading the filtration capabilities of your 4×4?
Cleaner air for you, your engine and the planet
Breathing cleaner air is just an upgrade away with the Flashlube Catch Can Pro. Modern diesel engines work in a way that recycles exhaust gases to be used once again in the engine. This no doubt helps to lower emissions but can leave you breathing in and emitting air that is far from clean.
The Flashlube Catch Can Pro filter cleanses the air before recirculation can take place to ensure your engine only receives clean air. It’s great for the environment and for your vehicle as the additional benefits below detail.
Improved vehicle power and efficiency
Upgrading to a Flashlube Catch Can Pro doesn’t just mean a cleaner, greener environment. This premium oil fume filter actively protects the engine to help 4×4 drivers everywhere harness improved vehicle power as well as efficiency.
The Flashlube Catch Can Pro filters out harmful, engine-damaging oil mist and condensation, preventing it from seeping into your vehicle’s inlet passage. The result can prevent loss of power and engine damage that can be particularly costly to fix.
Reduced carbon build-ups and a better working engine
Thanks to this specialist form of filtration, your engine can enjoy cleaner air even after recirculation. This has been linked to a cleaner engine, better performance, increased fuel efficiency and reduced engine wear.
With the help of a Flashlube Catch Can Pro, you can extend the life of your engine by reducing the carbon build-ups that are so common in the inlet manifold due to the presence of oil-misted air as Unsealed 4X4 explains:
“It’s thought that the oil misted air which really is a combo of soot, sludge and carbon substance (in other words crap) will eventually gum everything up as it coats components and sensors. The result of all this is an air intake system that won’t function correctly if left unchecked and could lead to loss of power or possibly engine damage due to wrong fuel air mixtures. This is where the catch can comes in as it’s been designed to filter out the oil mist and separate the oil from air.”
In addition to reducing carbon build-ups, the Catch Can Pro minimises the risk of intercooler contamination and turbo-bearing corrosion to boost your engine’s lifespan accordingly.
Safe, reliable filtration made for your vehicle
All our Flashlube Catch Can Pro kits are vehicle-specific. Whilst the filter itself is suitable for most models, the accompanying hose kits are designed with your 4×4 make and model in mind. This ensures that it can be installed with ease and serviced as required once per year, and a truly precise fit can be achieved as standard.
All Catch Can Pro kits also meet warranty and regulatory requirements to ensure an effective solution that serves your vehicle and the planet, even when Overlanding in a variety of conditions. The Flashlube Catch Can Pro offers unrivalled quality that is safe to use, especially compared to cheaper, lower-standard alternatives that either don’t work or explode under pressure!
