Description
The Mishimoto Compact Baffled Oil Catch Can, 3-Port (MMBCC-CBTHR-BK) is a 100-percent billet 6061 aluminum, black anodized oil catch can built to separate oil particles from PCV/CCV air before it ever reaches your intake. Backed by years of Mishimoto’s oil catch can research and development, this compact three-port design uses an internal air diverter and a 50 micron bronze filter to keep oil out of your car engine’s intake tract, and it is protected by US Design Patent No. D910,727.
As one of the core components of an automobile engine’s crankcase ventilation system, an oil catch can intercepts the oil-laden vapor that PCV and CCV systems would otherwise route straight back into the engine. The Mishimoto Compact Baffled Oil Catch Can turbulates that air longer than a simple tank, letting oil droplets settle to the bottom while an internal baffle stops the collected oil from sloshing around under hard cornering or track conditions. Because the can is not heated, blow-by — along with low-octane oil vapors and contaminated fuel vapors — is allowed to condense and stay trapped in the can rather than draining back into the oil pan, which helps maintain proper octane levels and reduces the potential for detonation. For builders comparing car engine parts and engine parts for car projects meant to protect an intercooler, intake system, and other essential parts of a car engine from oil blow-by, this catch can is built to be fully serviceable: both the can and the 50 micron filter are 100-percent washable, so there is no need to replace a filtration cartridge.
Vehicle Applications
Mishimoto lists this Compact Baffled Oil Catch Can as a universal-application part — no specific make, model, engine code, or chassis code is called out for this SKU. Instead, fitment is handled through its plumbing: 3/8in NPT threads at the inlet, outlet, and drain, plus M16x1.5 inlet and outlet porting, let it tie into the PCV or CCV lines found on a wide range of car engines. Included aluminum barbed 1/2-in hose fittings and a universal mounting bracket give installers the flexibility to mount the can from multiple angles regardless of the components of the automobile engine bay layout they’re working around.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Mishimoto Compact Baffled Oil Catch Can do?
It separates oil particles from PCV/CCV air using an internal air diverter and a 50 micron bronze filter, so only clean air continues on to the intake while oil settles into the can.
Is this catch can serviceable?
Yes. Both the can and the 50 micron filter are 100-percent washable, and the drain plug can be removed to allow the collected oil to be returned to the oil pan.
What is the can made from?
It is machined from 100-percent billet 6061 aluminum with a black anodized finish.
What thread sizes does it use?
The inlet and outlet use M16x1.5 threading, while the drain plug uses a 3/8 NPT thread.
What’s included in the box?
The kit includes one Compact 3-Port Baffled Oil Catch Can, three aluminum 1/2-in barbed fittings, one universal mounting bracket, and the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty.
Does this catch can drain oil back into the engine?
No. Unlike many AOS systems that drain blow-by back into the oil pan, this catch can traps the blow-by and keeps it out of the engine, though the drain plug can be removed for manual maintenance and return to the oil pan.
