Upgrade Your BMW with ECS Baffled Oil Catch Can

Modern emission regulations require a closed PCV/Breather system for cleaner operation. However, inefficient oil particle capture can lead to excessive oil vapor ingestion, causing carbon buildup, reduced performance, and fuel economy. ECS Tuning's updated ECS Baffled Oil Catch Can, now with an easy-to-empty 1/4" drain fitting, is engineered to collect toxic blow-by gases, minimize carbon deposits, and reduce oil contamination within engine oil. Recirculating oil vapor ensures emissions compliance without venting to the atmosphere.

  • Key Features:
  • Highly Efficient Oil Separator: Strategically positioned 4 chamber baffle system maximizes oil/air separation and minimizes oil droplets in the intake tract.
  • Integrated Dipstick: Knurled and black anodized oil dipstick simplifies oil volume inspection.
  • Reservoir: Available in 6oz or 8oz capacity with a 1/4" NPT drain plug fitting.
  • Serviceable: Easily removable baffle plates and drain plug for cleaning.
  • Easy/Customizable Installation: Combine with the ECS Universal Bracket Kit for simplified installation and adjustable mounting locations.
  • Leak-Free Fittings: Machined -10AN ORB (O-Ring Boss) fittings available for secure connections (fittings sold separately).

Fix oil leaks on your BMW's passenger side engine with Turner Motorsport's CPV O-ring replacement. The O-ring failure in the CPV typically leads to slow oil leaks, and now you can address this issue at a fraction of the cost by replacing the O-ring instead of the entire CPV. Unlike the OEM Buna rubber, the new Viton Fluoroelastomer used in this O-ring is resistant to higher temperatures, ensuring prolonged life without leaks.

  • Cost-effective solution for oil leaks on the passenger side of the engine
  • Replaces the CPV O-ring without replacing the entire CPV
  • Viton Fluoroelastomer resistant to higher temperatures
  • Prolonged life without leaks
  • Addresses O-ring failure due to heat cycling and oil exposure

This is the replacement OEM oil filter kit for the S54 engine, as used in the E46 M3, Z4 M Roadster and M Coupe, as well as the 2001-2002 MZ3 M Roadster/Coupe (with S54 engine). This is the complete oil filter kit - filter, large o-ring for filter housing cover, small o-ring for bolt seal, flat washer for bolt, and copper seal ring for the drain bolt. It's everything you would need to complete an oil change - minus the Castrol 10W60 oil of course, which we sell at a great price. This kit is manufactured by Mahle - the original supplier to BMW for the 11427833769 BMW filter (factory filters come with the Mahle part number OX 187 printed on the cap).

Why Mahle over Mann? In the past we have sold a few different oil filters for the E46 M3 and S54 engines. But Mahle is the true OEM supplier for this part number. It fits perfectly and is the exact replacement part at nearly the same price as the slightly different Mann filter (and less than the factory BMW filter). For more detail, click here.

This filter fits the following BMWs:
2001-2006 E46 M3
2001-2002 MZ3 - M Roadster & M Coupe (S54)
2006-2008 MZ4 - M Roadster & M Coupe
