UTV Catch Cans

UTV Catch Cans — Protect Your Engine from Oil Blow-By

Oil blow-by robs power, clogs your intake, and reduces engine life. A UTV catch can is the proven solution for preventing oil mist and vapors from entering your intake system. At R1 Industries, we carry high-performance catch cans for Polaris RZR, Can-Am Maverick X3, Honda Talon, Kawasaki KRX, Yamaha YXZ, and more.

Riders often ask: “Why is my UTV smoking?”, “How do I stop oil blow-by on my RZR or X3?”, and “Do catch cans really work on turbo UTVs?”. The answer: yes. Installing a catch can helps keep your intake clean, boost consistency, and extend engine performance.

Turbocharged UTVs: A must-have for Polaris RZR Turbo, Pro R, Can-Am X3, and other boosted engines.
Material: Choose billet aluminum for strength and heat dissipation, or steel for cost efficiency.
Capacity: Larger cans reduce service intervals for heavy-duty riders.
Drain Options: Some include a petcock valve for tool-free draining.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do UTVs really need catch cans?
Yes — especially turbocharged machines. They prevent oil blow-by that fouls your intake and reduces power.

Will a catch can improve horsepower?
Indirectly. By keeping the intake charge clean, it maintains consistent power output and throttle response.

How often should I drain my catch can?
For hard riding, check every 2–3 rides. Light trail riders can drain monthly.

Is installation difficult?
No — most kits are bolt-on and come with hoses, clamps, and brackets.

Can I use a catch can on a naturally aspirated UTV?
Yes. While most critical for turbo models, it still helps reduce oil vapor buildup in NA engines.
