Thanks for some of the suggestions guys. I was looking for something similar to my oil catch though in terms of build and quality.

There's bound to be a few aftermarket generic replacements, or you could look in a few other engine bays until you find one that suits, then either buy it new from the dealer or check out a wrecker. Plastic always looks shitty when old, so the newer the better.

since we are on the subject, how fast will a 1qt oil catch can fill up if I connect it to my PCV line? Just a ball park figure. Will I have to drain it once a week, once a month, once every 6 months?

Ni5mo180SX,

It may be difficult to find a metal coolant reservoir tank. There is a reason why they usually are made of plastic. Heat. Metal conducts heat. And a metal coolant reservoir tank will absorb the heat from your engine bay and also retain the heat from the coolant itself.


I did find this metal overflow tank by Summit.
