The Mishimoto BMW N20/N26 baffled oil catch can is engineered to combat carbon buildup and oil blow-by issues common in direct fuel injection engines such as the N20 and N26. Designed with precision, this catch can features a proven 2-port compact baffled design with a bronze filter and internal baffles that efficiently separate oil from crankcase vapors. The CNC-machined aluminum lid is crafted to match the inner dimensions of the CCV hose, ensuring a secure fit and optimal performance. This setup helps protect your intercooler, intake system, and VANOS components by trapping oil before it can cause damage or reduce efficiency. Installation is straightforward with the included direct-fit hoses and mounting bracket, which do not require modifications to your engine cover, making it an accessible upgrade for enthusiasts and professionals alike. The CNC-machined aluminum fittings provide reliable connections, and the kit is backed by Mishimoto's lifetime warranty for peace of mind. Unlike heated air-oil separators, this catch can operates passively, allowing all blow-by vapors—including low-octane oil and contaminated fuel vapors—to condense and be permanently captured, preventing them from re-entering the engine oil system. This design ensures cleaner oil, better engine performance, and reduced maintenance over time. Compatible with a range of BMW 3 Series models from 2012 to 2017, this catch can is an essential upgrade for maintaining engine health and performance in vehicles equipped with the N20 and N26 engines.
