If you’re thinking about performance upgrades, you need to consider all of your vehicle’s systems. Although crankcase ventilation and air intake may not be first on your list, they deserve a look, as issues in those areas can degrade performance over time. An air oil separator might be just what you need to help your engine deliver consistent power. Learn more about this budget-friendly component, how it works, and why it’s important.
How Do Air Oil Separators (AOS) Work?
The 5-micron filters, baffling, and stainless mesh inside this AOS help remove oil from crankcase air.
Air oil separators essentially have one job–to remove oil from the crankcase ventilation system so it doesn’t coat your intake manifold, throttle body, intake valves, and other components. The AOS is a relatively simple device that uses coalescent filters, baffling, and stainless mesh to filter the crankcase air. As the filters wick oil from the vapor, cleaner air is returned to the intake. Depending on the model, oil can then be drained from the AOS or automatically returned to the engine.
What Are The Benefits Of Installing An AOS?
An air oil separator like this one on a Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 will help minimize power loss and lower carbon build-up.
If you’re looking for an affordable, easy-to-install upgrade that can make a difference over the long haul, an air oil separator is an excellent choice. Here are some benefits of using an AOS:
- Reduces the amount of oil that enters the intake
- Minimizes power loss that can occur due to reduced octane
- Lowers the amount of carbon build-up on intake valves
- Reduces the chance of engine knock due to lowered octane
Follow all instructions when installing an AOS, as additional modifications may be needed. For example, to install the Verus Engineering AOS on the MK5 Toyota Supra, a resonator delete kit must be connected whenever the factory airbox is used. Other options, like heat shields, are optional but recommended.
