The WIX air oil separator, measuring 10-7/8" x 6-7/16" in outer diameter, functions by effectively separating air and oil, contributing to reduced contamination levels. It aids in maintaining optimal engine performance by removing blow-by gases, while the incorporation of a multi-layer media enhances filtration efficiency. The separator plays a pivotal role in reducing engine deposits, promoting cleaner and more efficient operation. Additionally, it is designed to withstand varying high pressure and temperature conditions and reliable functionality in demanding environments.
