2020 R Oil Separator

[pilotgore]

I can tell you they work.

Left = 2000 after oil change
Center = 4000 after oil change
Right = 6000 after oil change

Any track use? Passenger side only?

I plan on low miles and never really tracking it. You think passenger side is good enough?

I’ll be doing 4-6 track weekends a year in this car and I only installed the passenger side. IMO, you’ll be fine with passenger side only.

No track. Both sides installed but driver's side always dry. Photos from passenger side only.

Yes, that is where all this oil came from. I have the driver's side installed but it is always dry. I daily mine, almost 8800 miles now, so I'm glad it's there.

So where do you buy these? Can you share a link? My R comes sometime in May.

Thanks.

Lowest price I can find.

Saw this warning...

They have to post that. An OAS will likely cause a car to fail smog tests in states / locations that have vehicle inspections. They do however, give protection to your engine's intake and combustion. I assume people who have vehicle inspection simply remove the OAS to pass inspection and replace afterwards.

Makes sense--thanks for this.

After discussing this issue with the mechanic who is working on my car who also happens to be an SCCA racer for over 20 years, I learned that for street use oil separators are not needed due to the very low volume of oil that is being separated out.

Yea I want to track it a couple times but I said screw if I’d get it for safety and life of the engine. Unless my 2020 R has problems like the others.......

I need an explanation on how these will cause a smog test to fail... I don't see any relation between the PCV system ( a good working one) and the smog test which mainly relates to the health of the cat converter, o2 sensors and exhaust.
OK, if you burn a lot of oil, you will most likely trip a light as your cats efficiency will go down and secondary o2 sensor will detect that... but installing an oil separator which in fact reduces the oil entering the engine ( so it has less chances to be burned in there) to cause a smog test failure?

The short answer is - I do not know exactly. From what I have read it appears to be more about altering the PVC emissions system set up by the manufacturer. It may depend on the state who may fail the smog test based on a visual of the OAS. I have also read that if you do not alter the PVC flow and have a closed system (As is the FP OAS) they may pass it. Bottom line, it may vary by state and the knowledge of the tech performing your emissions test.

That is correct. The PCV is considered part of the emission system in a vehicle. Could it technically fail smog if it had one? Probabaly, would a random smog isnpector ever know what to look for or know what it is? I don’t think you will ever see that happen. Like stated iv ha done on every car iv owned and they catch a lot when I empty at every oil change. To me it’s worth it just seeing how much it catches and is not getting recirculated into the combustion chamber.
