Front Headlight Mount • 2015–2022 P5AT 3.2L • PV665DPK
🛡️ Protect Power, Economy & Long-Term Reliability 🛡️
Stops oil mist and soot from coating your intake, protecting the Ford Ranger & Everest 3.2L P5AT.
⚠️ IMPORTANT FITMENT NOTE: There are TWO different ProVent kits for Ranger/Everest depending on airbox type and engine bay layout. PV665DPK is the FRONT-MOUNT kit for specific P5AT 3.2L configurations ONLY. Choosing the wrong kit will result in poor fitment.
Choose PV665DPK (THIS KIT - FRONT MOUNT) if ALL of the following apply:
PV665DPK (Front Mount) suits:
⚠️ IMPORTANT EXCLUSIONS — Will NOT suit:
📌 Alternative Kit Available: If your vehicle has a square airbox OR the power steering reservoir blocks the front mounting location, you need PV661DPK (rear-mount kit) instead. Contact us if unsure about fitment.
How It Works: The ProVent 200 separates oil from crankcase gases before they re-enter the intake. Collected oil drains to a bottle or can be optionally returned to the sump using a check valve. This stops oil mist and soot from coating your intake, protecting power, economy, and long-term reliability.
Key Features:
💡 Why This Matters: EGR + blow-by forms sticky sludge that clogs manifolds and sensors, preventing airflow restriction that hurts power and fuel economy. The P5AT 3.2L Duratorq is a capable engine, but its EGR system creates contamination challenges. By keeping the intake, intercooler, and MAP/MAT sensors clean, the ProVent maintains optimal performance and prevents expensive intake cleaning down the track.
The P5AT 3.2L needs protection from EGR contamination. Ford's 3.2L Duratorq 5-cylinder (P5AT) powers the Ranger and Everest from 2015-2022. Like all modern diesels with EGR, it's vulnerable to intake contamination. Oil vapour from blow-by mixes with sooty EGR gases, creating thick sludge that coats everything in the intake system.
The Problem:
Benefits:
💡 P5AT 3.2L Protection: The 3.2L Duratorq 5-cylinder is Ford's larger diesel option for Ranger and Everest. It's a capable workhorse with good low-end torque for towing and hauling. The ProVent prevents oil vapour from mixing with EGR gases, stopping sludge buildup and protecting your turbo, intercooler, and intake system. Essential protection for maintaining performance and reliability in Australian conditions.

⚠️ Important: This is a front-mount kit requiring circular airbox and clear front mounting area. Ensure your vehicle matches these criteria before ordering. Detailed installation guide included.
Maintenance Schedule:
💡 Pro Tip: Rangers and Everests are serious workhorses. Regular ProVent maintenance takes just minutes—drain the collected oil and inspect the system. This simple maintenance prevents the expensive intake de-coking and cleaning that P5AT 3.2L engines with EGR often require. Keep your Duratorq breathing clean for long-term reliability.
Q: Will this void my Ford warranty?
A: No. Inline crankcase ventilation filtration does NOT void OEM warranty when installed correctly. Aftermarket protection devices don't void warranty under Australian Consumer Law.
Q: How do I know if I need PV665DPK or PV661DPK?
A: PV665DPK (this kit - front mount) is ONLY for P5AT 3.2L engines (2015-2022) with circular airboxes and clear front mounting areas. PV661DPK (rear mount) suits P4AT 2.2L AND P5AT 3.2L (2011-2022) with square airboxes OR obstructed front mounting areas. When in doubt, check your airbox shape or contact us with photos.
Q: How do I check if I have a circular or square airbox?
A: Open your hood and look at the factory airbox (the black plastic housing that covers the air filter). Circular airboxes are round when viewed from above. Square airboxes have squared-off corners. This is the easiest way to determine which catch can kit you need.
Q: What if I have a power steering reservoir in the front area?
A: If your vehicle has a power steering reservoir located in the front driver-side headlight area, it will block the mounting location for this front-mount kit. You need PV661DPK (rear-mount kit) instead, which mounts near the fuel filter/fuse box.
Q: Does this fit P4AT 2.2L engines?
A: No. This kit is specifically for P5AT 3.2L engines (2015-2022). For P4AT 2.2L engines, you need PV661DPK (rear-mount kit) which covers both P4AT and P5AT from 2011-2022.
Q: What's the difference between P5AT front-mount and rear-mount kits?
A: Both provide the same protection—the difference is mounting location. The front-mount kit (PV665DPK) mounts behind the driver-side headlight and requires a circular airbox. The rear-mount kit (PV661DPK) mounts near the fuel filter/fuse box and suits vehicles with square airboxes or obstructed front areas.
Q: Why does the P5AT 3.2L need a catch can?
A: The P5AT 3.2L Duratorq uses an EGR system that recirculates sooty exhaust gases into the intake. When oil vapour from blow-by mixes with these sooty gases, it creates thick sludge that clogs manifolds, sensors, and restricts airflow. A catch can prevents the oil vapour from mixing with EGR gases, stopping this expensive problem.
Q: Will this affect my tune or ECU?
A: No. This is a passive CCV (crankcase ventilation) system with no ECU interaction. It simply captures oil vapour before it enters the intake—there's no electronic connection or impact on engine management systems.
Q: Do I have to return oil to the sump?
A: No. A drain bottle is included with the kit. The sump return with check valve is optional. You can configure it either way based on your preference—manual draining or automatic oil recirculation.
Q: How often do I service it?
A: Drain the bottle as required (frequency depends on driving conditions) and replace the filter element based on usage and inspection. Engines used for towing or hard work may collect oil faster and require more frequent draining.
Q: Does it help the intercooler?
A: Yes! Preventing oil film on the intercooler improves heat transfer and airflow. Oil-contaminated intercoolers act as insulators, reducing cooling efficiency. The ProVent keeps your intercooler clean for optimal performance.
Q: Can I install this myself?
A: If you're mechanically competent and comfortable working with hoses and brackets, yes. The kit features bolt-on brackets with plug-and-play hoses. Most DIYers complete installation in 2-3 hours. Otherwise, any qualified mechanic can handle it.
Q: Will this improve performance or fuel economy?
A: While not primarily designed for performance gains, keeping your intake system clean helps maintain optimal engine efficiency. By preventing sludge buildup and maintaining clean airflow, the ProVent helps your P5AT 3.2L maintain factory performance levels and fuel economy over time.
Q: What happens to my turbocharger without a catch can?
A: Oil vapour coats the turbocharger compressor wheel with a sticky film. Over time, this reduces efficiency and can affect turbo seals. The ProVent protects turbo components by preventing oil vapour from entering the system.
Q: How does this protect MAP/MAT sensors?
A: MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure) and MAT (Manifold Air Temperature) sensors sit in the intake stream. Oil contamination can coat these sensors, affecting their readings and engine performance. The ProVent keeps the intake clean, protecting sensor accuracy.
Q: What is intake de-coking?
A: De-coking is the expensive process of cleaning carbon buildup from intake manifolds, valves, and ports. It often requires removing the intake manifold and using chemical cleaners or walnut blasting. The ProVent prevents the oil vapour that causes this buildup, saving you from this expensive service.
Q: Is this suitable for towing and heavy loads?
A: Absolutely essential. The Ranger and Everest with the P5AT 3.2L are serious workhorses designed for towing and heavy loads. These conditions increase blow-by and make oil vapour separation even more critical. The ProVent is built for exactly this kind of demanding work.
Q: Will this reduce smoke and odour?
A: Yes. By preventing oil vapour from entering the intake and combustion process, the ProVent reduces the causes of excessive smoke and diesel odour—especially important for engines used for hard work or high mileage.
Q: Is this built for Australian conditions?
A: Yes! Direction-Plus™ engineering means this kit is specifically designed for Australian conditions—extreme heat, dust, corrugations, and the serious work that Rangers and Everests are used for. Proven in the toughest conditions.
Warranty Protection: Inline crankcase ventilation filtration does NOT void OEM warranty when installed correctly. Direction-Plus ProVent systems are widely used across OEM, fleet, and performance applications in Australia.
Australian Consumer Law: Aftermarket protection devices don't void warranty under Australian Consumer Law. This kit protects your engine without interfering with factory components.
