Ultimate Oil Separation • 2011–2022 P4AT 2.2L & P5AT 3.2L • PV661DPK
🛡️ Australian-Engineered Crankcase Ventilation System 🛡️
Dramatically reduces oil vapour and blow-by contamination. Protects turbos, intercoolers, EGR systems, and sensors—preserving power, efficiency, and long-term engine reliability.
⚠️ IMPORTANT FITMENT NOTE: There are TWO different ProVent kits for these vehicles depending on airbox type and engine bay layout. Choosing the wrong kit will result in poor fitment.
Choose PV661DPK (THIS KIT - REAR MOUNT) if ANY of the following apply:
PV661DPK (Rear Mount) suits:
📌 Alternative Kit Available: If your vehicle has a P5AT with a circular (round) factory airbox and no power steering reservoir in the front driver-side headlight area, you may need PV665DPK (front-mount kit) instead. Contact us if unsure about fitment.
How It Works: The ProVent Ultimate uses a high-efficiency multi-stage filtration element to separate oil from crankcase blow-by gases before they are recirculated into the intake. Clean air is returned to the engine, while captured oil is drained to a bottle or optionally returned to the sump using a check valve. This stops oil mist before it enters the intake, protecting turbos, intercoolers, EGR systems, and sensors.
Key Features:
💡 Why This Matters: Factory CCV systems feed oil vapour straight back into the intake. When EGR + oil mist combine, they form sludge that coats sensors and restricts airflow. Oil-contaminated intercoolers reduce cooling efficiency and power, and accelerate carbon buildup in intake manifolds and EGR systems. The ProVent stops this contamination before it starts, preserving power, efficiency, and long-term engine reliability.
The P4AT and P5AT Duratorq engines need protection. Ford's 2.2L (P4AT) and 3.2L (P5AT) Duratorq engines are proven workhorses—powering Rangers, Everests, and BT-50s through some of Australia's toughest conditions. But like all modern diesels with EGR, they're vulnerable to intake contamination.
The Problem:
Benefits:
💡 Duratorq Protection: The P4AT (2.2L) and P5AT (3.2L) Duratorq engines are capable and reliable when properly maintained. The ProVent catch can is essential protection for these engines—preventing the intake contamination that can affect performance and longevity. Especially important for vehicles used for towing, work, or serious touring.
ProVent Ultimate Catch Can:
Performance:
Fitment:
✅ Bolt-on, vehicle-specific kit — no cutting or fabrication required
Recommended: Competent qualified mechanic or experienced DIYer
DIY Time: 2–3 hours
Installation Notes:
Important: Detailed installation instructions included. DIY-friendly with basic tools. Professional installation available through qualified mechanics.
Maintenance Schedule:
💡 Pro Tip: Rangers, Everests, and BT-50s are serious workhorses. Regular ProVent maintenance takes just minutes and prevents the expensive intake system cleaning that EGR-equipped Duratorq engines often require. Keep your engine breathing clean for legendary Ford/Mazda reliability in tough Australian conditions.
Q: Will this void my vehicle warranty?
A: No. When installed correctly, an inline catch can does NOT void OEM warranty. Direction-Plus ProVent systems are widely used across OEM, fleet, and performance applications in Australia. Aftermarket protection devices don't void warranty under Australian Consumer Law.
Q: How do I know if I need PV661DPK or PV665DPK?
A: PV661DPK (this kit - rear mount) suits vehicles with square airboxes or obstructed front headlight areas (power steering reservoir present). PV665DPK (front mount) suits P5AT engines with circular airboxes and clear front headlight areas. Check your engine bay or contact us with photos if unsure.
Q: What's the difference between P4AT and P5AT engines?
A: P4AT is the 2.2L Duratorq 4-cylinder turbo diesel. P5AT is the 3.2L Duratorq 5-cylinder turbo diesel. Both benefit from catch can protection and share similar crankcase ventilation systems, though mounting locations may vary depending on engine bay layout.
Q: Does this fit both Ford and Mazda vehicles?
A: Yes! The 2011-2021 Mazda BT-50 shares Ford's platform and uses the same Duratorq engines (P4AT 2.2L and P5AT 3.2L). This catch can kit fits Ford Rangers, Ford Everests, and Mazda BT-50s with these engines.
Q: Why do Duratorq engines need a catch can?
A: The P4AT and P5AT Duratorq engines use EGR systems that recirculate sooty exhaust gases into the intake. When oil vapour from blow-by mixes with EGR soot, it creates thick sludge that coats intercoolers, sensors, and intake manifolds. A catch can prevents the oil vapour from mixing with EGR gases, stopping this expensive problem.
Q: Will this affect tuning or ECU operation?
A: No. ProVent 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: Is oil return to sump mandatory?
A: No. The kit can be run with a drain bottle (manual draining) or configured with optional sump return using the included check valve. Your choice based on preference and convenience.
Q: How often should it be serviced?
A: Inspect periodically (every 5,000–10,000 km) and replace the filter element as required based on inspection and usage. Drain frequency depends on driving conditions—engines used for towing or hard work may collect oil faster.
Q: Is this suitable for modified or tuned vehicles?
A: Yes. Catch cans are recommended for both stock and tuned engines. Modified engines often produce more blow-by, making oil vapour separation even more critical. The ProVent's high-efficiency design handles increased flow from tuned engines.
Q: Can I install this myself?
A: If you're mechanically competent and comfortable working with hoses and brackets, yes. Most DIYers complete installation in 2-3 hours using basic tools and the included vehicle-specific brackets. 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 intercooler contamination, the ProVent helps your engine maintain factory performance levels and consistent boost pressure over time.
Q: What happens to my turbocharger without a catch can?
A: Oil vapour coats the turbocharger seals and bearings with contamination. Over time, this can affect seal life and turbo efficiency. The ProVent protects turbo components by preventing oil vapour from entering the system.
Q: How does this protect the intercooler?
A: Oil-contaminated intercoolers reduce cooling efficiency—the oil coating acts as an insulator that reduces heat transfer. This means higher intake air temperatures and reduced power. By keeping oil vapour out of the intake system, the ProVent maintains optimal intercooler performance.
Q: What is MANN+HUMMEL media?
A: MANN+HUMMEL is a world-leading manufacturer of filtration systems, supplying OEM filters to major automotive manufacturers. Their multi-stage filtration media is engineered for maximum efficiency and longevity—professional-grade quality.
Q: Is this suitable for towing and heavy loads?
A: Absolutely essential. Rangers, Everests, and BT-50s 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?
A: Yes. By preventing oil vapour from entering the intake and combustion process, the ProVent reduces the causes of excessive smoke—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 these vehicles are used for. Widely used across OEM, fleet, and performance applications in Australia.
Q: Can I use this with other protection systems?
A: Yes! Many Ranger, Everest, and BT-50 owners run both a fuel pre-filter (or post-filter) AND a ProVent catch can for comprehensive protection. They protect different systems—fuel filtration protects your injectors, while the ProVent protects your intake system.
Warranty Protection: When installed correctly, an inline catch can does NOT void OEM warranty. 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.
Proven Performance: Direction-Plus ProVent systems are trusted by thousands of Australian owners for protecting Duratorq engines in the toughest conditions.
