Mishimoto Baffled Oil Catch Can for BMW Engine

The Mishimoto Baffled Oil Catch Can Kit for BMW engines helps keep oil blow-by and crankcase vapors out of your intake system. Direct-injection engines are prone to carbon buildup. An oil catch can (also called an oil separator or crankcase breather catch can) captures oil and contaminants from the crankcase ventilation system before they reach the intake tract.

Key Features:

• Baffled 2-port compact can design with an internal baffle and air diverter that increase turbulence and improve oil separation from crankcase vapors
• 50-micron bronze filter helps separate oil from the vapors
• Billet 6061 aluminum construction with a CNC-machined lid, sealed with Viton O-rings
• Large inlet and outlet ports are sized to match the inner dimension of the factory ventilation hose
• Application-specific mounting bracket places the can in a serviceable location
• Serviceable can and filter let you empty and maintain the can over time
• Non-heated design traps blow-by in the can instead of draining it back into the oil pan, so it stays out of the engine
• Helps protect the intercooler, intake system and VANOS components from oil blow-by, and helps maintain proper octane levels to reduce potential detonation
• Patented design backed by the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty

Mishimoto recommends checking the contents of the can about every 1,000 miles after installation, until you know how much blow-by your engine produces. Accumulation varies with ambient temperature and driving conditions. Kits are designed for straightforward installation, and Mishimoto supplies installation documentation.
