Yes, I had one on a 1997 RD28T engine, worked well. Simple to install, but you need to consider what you do with the captured oil, either vent it to atmosphere constantly with a drain line or store it in the catch can or the drain line. Mine was constantly vented to atmosphere and unfortunately the hose was not long enough and made a black oily mess on the chassis rails until i installed a small stop valve then dropped the oil periodically.

I used one like this

It comes with instructions of how/where to fit. Unfortunately I do not have any photos for you as the engine was replaced.
