The newly updated R55 through R57 Oil Catch Can kit for Minis equipped with the N12 or N14 engine comes with a "designed-to-fit" stainless steel bracket, mounting hardware and pre-assembled hoses. Installation is super easy...no drilling and no special tools are needed. NOTE: This kit has been redesigned to fit on the firewall directly behind the outlet of the airbox. It uses the factory tab located on the firewall.
"Forum experts and social hysteria" say an OCC is not needed but we beg to differ. Why do so many Mini owners suffer from carbon buildup on their intake valve? The answer is oil being recycled through the intake tract to be burned. With the M7 Oil Catch Can, your Mini Cooper's engine will be protected from excessive oil and hydrocarbon buildup which leads to performance-hindering oil film and sludge along your intake tract, on your engine control sensors and your engine's intake valves. Because the 2007 & up Mini is direct injection the intake valves do not benefit from the cleaning action provided by the gasoline as in older port injection engines. Now all the oil blow-by burns onto the intake valves and builds up into a flow-choking hydrocarbon mess. The result is loss of power and a very expensive repair bill. This oil film & sludge can appear in other critical places throughout the engine-- such as the intercooler-- where clean surfaces are critical for maximized heat transfer and on your MAF sensor (Mass Air Flow) where the film will cause the sensor to send a false signal to your ECU killing performance.
By capturing excess oil vapor and particles, the M7 Oil Catch Can ensure that oil film and sludge will not become a factor in your vehicle's performance. If you don't think your engine is pumping oil back through your intake system, remove the breather tube and look at all the oil! The breather tube connects directly to your intake hose and directs this oily mess back through your engine to be burned. Now with our exclusive "Exact-Fit" pre-assembled hose kit and brackets installation is super-easy.
