Catch cans allow you to vent the crank case without sending oil vapor into your incoming air at the intake manifold. Under harsh conditions (WOT), the crank case will build pressure. Manufacturers addressed this by running a venting hose from your drivers-side valve cover to your intake manifold. While this does vent the excess crank case pressure, oil particles travel with this air, into your incoming air, and mixes with your air and fuel. The catch can splices in the middle of this hose and involves a catch can (obviously) and a filter to "catch" the oil.

While I don't see any reason why you couldn't install one on a V6 (99% sure you can), I can't say for sure that you can't (I don't have a V6). Hopefully someone who has first-hand knowledge can chime in and let us know for sure.

Yes you can put it on a V6, it goes on the passenger side of the V6 though, see lower left corner of this picture:



A closer shot



It gets about 1/3 full every 1,000 miles on my car
