{"product_id":"bmw-oil-separator-1","title":"Original BMW Crankcase Vent Valve (PCV) for S62 Cylinders 5 to 8, BMW M5 E39 and Z8 E52 (2000–2003)","description":"\u003cp\u003eOn the BMW M5 and Z8 from 2000–2003, both powered by the S62 V8, this Original BMW oil separator serves the crankcase ventilation for cylinders 5 to 8. It is also called a crankcase vent valve or PCV valve. Its job is to vent pressure that builds up inside the crankcase, and it is one of the most important parts of the engine's breather system. In general, an oil separator pulls oil mist out of the crankcase gases before they are routed back to the intake. The part weighs 70 g, is made in Germany, and is sold individually.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginal BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the S62 is a V8, BMW makes this separator specifically for the cylinder 5 to 8 bank. When you order, check that the separator you are replacing serves cylinders 5 to 8. BMW began producing this number in September 1998. It supersedes 11 15 7 742 569, and BMW rates it as backward compatible with that earlier part. BMW applies it only to the S62 engine, so the same separator covers the E39 M5 sedan and the E52 Z8 roadster.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer: BMW (Original BMW part)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: 11-15-1-406-789\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBMW part name: oil separator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition: cylinders 5 to 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine: S62 5.0L V8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 70 g (0.2 lb)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction start: September 1998\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplaces: 11 15 7 742 569, backward compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 24-month parts warranty on Original BMW Parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this the same as a PCV valve?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
