Airtec Motorsport oil catch can upgrade for the Mini Cooper S and John Cooper Works (JCW) F56 pre-facelift, developed as a preventative performance upgrade for fast road and track useWith direct injection engines, oil vapors and contaminants can enter the intake tract through the original crankcase ventilation system, which over time leads to power loss and reduced efficiency.
A oil catch can captures these oil vapors before they reach the intake system, thus helping to carbon build-up on the intake valves to prevent. This directly contributes to maintaining performance, reliability, and a cleaner intake tract.
The Airtec catch can kit is specifically developed for the Mini F56 Cooper S and JCW pre-LCI and makes optimal use of the available space in the engine compartment. The set is mounted with a high-quality billet aluminum mounting bracket immediately satin black powder-coated finish, which ensures that the catch can is placed neatly and securely.
The catch can itself is equipped with a internal baffle and a oil dipstickand is easily removed for periodic maintenance. The kit comes complete with all necessary hoses, mounting hardware, and clear installation instructions.

Why is an oil catch can important for direct injection engines?
Because fuel doesn't flush over the intake valves, oil fumes can cause carbon buildup without a catch can.
Is this catch can suitable for daily use?
Yes, this catch can is suitable for daily driving and sporty use.
Do I need to maintain the catch can?
Yes, the catch can should be emptied and checked periodically.
Does this catch can fit LCI models?
