R55-R59 Oil Catch Can Kit for N18 MINI Engines

Introducing the newly updated R55 through R59 Oil Catch Can kit for MINIs equipped with the N16 or N18 engine. This kit includes a "designed-to-fit" stainless steel bracket, mounting hardware, and pre-assembled hoses for easy installation—no drilling or special tools needed. Note: This kit has been redesigned to fit directly behind the outlet of the airbox on the firewall, using the factory tab located on the firewall.

Despite skepticism from "forum experts and social hysteria," an Oil Catch Can (OCC) is essential. Many MINI owners suffer from carbon buildup on their intake valve due to oil being recycled through the intake tract. With the M7 Oil Catch Can, your MINI Cooper's engine will be protected from excessive oil and hydrocarbon buildup, preventing performance-hindering oil film and sludge. Direct injection in 2007 & up MINIs exacerbates the issue, leading to oil blow-by burning onto intake valves, resulting in power loss and expensive repairs.

By capturing excess oil vapor and particles, the M7 Oil Catch Can ensures optimal engine performance. Now with our exclusive "Exact-Fit" pre-assembled hose kit and brackets, installation is super easy.

Features:

• Pre-assembled hose assemblies
• Stainless steel bracket and mounting hardware
• Eliminates intake tract oil contamination and intake valve damage
• Prevents premature sensor failure
• Maintains engine performance at peak levels
• Carbon Fiber canister with billet bright aluminum top and bottom

The M7 Oil Catch Can is not only functional but also a work of automotive performance ART! It features a 100% carbon fiber housing with CNC machined billet aluminum top and bottom, adding a sharp look to your engine compartment.

All hoses, brackets, clamps, necessary fittings, and easy-to-follow detailed step-by-step instructions are included, along with an oil drain plug and an easy-to-view sight tube. The sight tube allows you to monitor the oil level in the can. The hoses are high-quality "Made in the USA" automotive grade, designed to withstand the rigors of the under-hood environment without degradation.

The turbocharger oil supply line is one of the most common failure points on N14 and N18-equipped R5X MINIs. Responsible for delivering a steady stream of pressurized oil to the turbocharger’s center housing (CHRA), this line keeps the turbo’s bearings properly cooled and lubricated. Unfortunately, its location directly alongside the exhaust manifold and catalytic converter exposes it to extreme heat. Over time, this heat causes the oil inside the line to harden or “coke,” creating a permanent restriction that starves the turbo of vital lubrication.

MINI attempted to address this issue by adding a retrofit heat shield to N14 models, but the problem continues to plague MINI owners. Furthermore, the OEM banjo bolts rely on copper crush washers that become brittle and warp under heat, leading to persistent oil leaks at the back of the engine.

To eliminate these issues, ECS developed a high-performance replacement for the factory turbocharger oil feed line (11657534454). Built from premium stainless steel braided -4 AN hose and engineered to withstand the harsh thermal environment of the N14/N18 engine bay, this upgrade ensures consistent, dependable oil delivery. A PTFE inner lining provides exceptional chemical and temperature resistance, while black zinc–coated fittings and banjo bolts offer improved corrosion protection and long-term sealing. The result is a durable, leak-free solution that outperforms the factory design in every way.

Features:

-4 AN stainless steel braided hose eliminates the OE swivel fittings for superior sealing and consistent oil flow

PTFE inner lining delivers outstanding chemical and temperature resistance

Black-anodized aluminum AN fittings offer improved durability and a refined appearance

Black zinc–coated banjo bolts resist corrosion for a long-lasting repair

Includes four new crush washers to ensure proper sealing during installation

Whether you're fixing an oil leak or performing preventative maintenance, choose the ECS upgraded turbocharger oil feed line for lasting durability and leak-proof performance.

Designed to fix a known weak point for the MINI B3X and B4X engines, the ECS billet aluminium oil filter housing cap is a direct replacement for the factory plastic cap. The OEM plastic part is infamous for cracks, stripped threads, and rounded hex heads—often failing during routine oil changes and turning basic maintenance into a frustrating, time-consuming repair.

The engineers at ECS have designed a precision-machined billet aluminium upgrade that eliminates those issues, delivering strength, durability, and consistent fitment. An integrated drain plug allows you to drain the filter housing cleanly before removal, reducing spills and mess for a faster, cleaner oil service.

Replaces OEM MINI part number 11428575907.
