The WIX 17" x 7-7/8" OD air oil separator is engineered for efficient separation of air and oil, which can enhance engine performance by capturing fine oil droplets that would otherwise contribute to oil consumption. Its optimal design aims to ensure minimal airflow restriction, protecting engine components from potential oil contamination. Additionally, it helps improve overall vehicle emissions by effectively trapping oil mist, which contributes to cleaner operation by preventing oil from escaping into the environment.
