If you have built a high-performance engine, or even if you drive your stock vehicle fast, you may have noticed oil film in the engine bay or oil dripping on the ground. This is could be caused by excessive crankcase pressure which forces oil vapor out of the motor. But don't panic, your motor is not broken, this is actually a pretty normal phenomenon. One way to keep the drips away and keep your engine bay clean is to add an BMW 1600 oil catch tank. The oil catch tank recovers the oil forced out of the crank case so it doesn't cause a mess. Here at Andy's we have a great selection of BMW 1600 oil catch tanks from plain to fancy and everything in between. Don't be caught dripping; look through our selection to find the perfect BMW 1600 oil catch tank for your needs.

Here at Andy's we love the way that oil catch tanks look under the hood of a car. With a nice shiny finish they give a great racecar look that will set you apart from the crowd when you are showing off your engine. Since there are many universal applications, you can use these oil catch tanks in almost any vehicle. One important thing to note: If you are planning on using your vehicle in a competition or track day event, you may be required to run an oil catch tank. Many organizing bodies state this in the rules in order to keep cars from dripping oil on the track, which increases the likelihood of accidents.

Q: How do you install a catch can?
A: If you are buying a vehicle-specific catch can, instructions will usually be included since the manufacturer may have built the kit to fit one specific way. If you are buying a universal oil catch can, installation is relatively simple, with the catch hose being routed to the valve cover vent, PCV valve, or crank case vent, depending on your preferred method.
