Product Description

Ensure your BMW's engine runs efficiently with this Arrowhead engine oil separator. Designed for specific BMW petrol models, this component plays a crucial role in the crankcase ventilation system by separating oil vapours from the blow-by gases before they are re-circulated into the engine. This helps maintain optimal engine performance and reduces oil consumption.

This oil separator is compatible with selected BMW models, including those fitted with the M62 engine, typically found in E38, E39, and E31 series. Always confirm your BMW’s model, year, engine size, and engine code to ensure proper fitment before ordering.

Common symptoms of a failing oil separator include increased oil consumption, blue smoke from the exhaust, rough idling, oil leaks around the valve cover, poor engine performance, and a check engine light. You may also notice excessive pressure in the crankcase or unusual noises from the engine bay.

If you experience any of these issues, it is advisable to replace the oil separator promptly. Delaying replacement can lead to further engine damage, increased emissions, and costly repairs. Installation should be carried out according to manufacturer guidelines, and all hoses and seals should be inspected during replacement.
