Oil Catch Cans
Intercept Carbon, Protect Your Intake Valves
Are you worried about the long-term health of your direct-injection BMW engine? Every mile you drive, oil vapor from your crankcase is being vented back into your intake tract, coating your valves in a sticky, performance-robbing sludge. Our Oil Catch Can collection provides a high-efficiency filtration barrier. By intercepting these blow-by vapors and condensing the oil into a specialized reservoir, we ensure only clean air reaches your engine. This is a mandatory reliability upgrade for any N54, N55, or B58 owner looking to prevent "Carbon Build-up" and maintain factory-level horsepower for the life of the vehicle.
Bulletproof your engine's longevity with our premium BMW Catch Can Collection. We feature precision-engineered filtration solutions from industry leaders like BMS (Burger Motorsports), Mishimoto, and Turner Motorsport. This collection is a primary maintenance upgrade for 3-Series, 4-Series, and M-Series owners across Canada and the USA seeking a proactive solution to carbon fouling.
From stealth-mount kits for the F30 340i to high-capacity race cans for high-boost E92 335i builds, we provide the hardware necessary to keep your intake tract pristine.
Key Oil Catch Can Features
-
Multi-Stage Internal Baffling: Features advanced internal plates and bronze filters designed to force oil vapor out of the air suspension and into the bottom of the can.
-
Large Reservoir Capacity: Engineered with high-volume tanks that allow for extended service intervals between drains, even on high-mileage engines with more blow-by.
-
Direct-Fit Mounting Brackets: Precision-engineered brackets utilize factory bolt holes for a clean, "OEM+" look that doesn't require drilling or permanent modification.
-
High-Flow Internal Design: Ensures that crankcase pressure is properly vented without restriction, which is critical for preventing front and rear main seal leaks.
-
Easy-Drain Solutions: Many of our cans feature a simple dipstick for checking levels and a bottom drain plug for mess-free maintenance during oil changes.

Frequently Asked Question
How often do I need to empty the catch can? For most street-driven BMWs in North America, we recommend checking the can every 5,000 to 8,000 km, typically during your scheduled oil change. In colder winter months, you may notice the can filling faster with a "milky" mixture of oil and condensation; this is completely normal and exactly what the can is designed to trap.
