Please school me on Oil air separators. Never heard of them before. Would there be some benefit to installing one on my '13 Chrysler V6? Warranty concerns?
Or are they just another way to spend money feeling like you've accomplished something?
TIA, Robert

Many, many people over at Challengertalk.com run them on the 5.7's. They say the catch cans usually have 1 to 2 oz. of oil in them at every oil change. That's substantial considering where that oil would be going were it not for the cc. Not as many seem to run them on the 3.6L but those who do report trapping oil as well.

They're big with the Mustang crowd, not sure it did anything, but it looks cool. It's 1 of those things that make sense in theory, but hard to really quantify with results.
I just love and hate posts like this...to the OP please ignore this opinion while i share some facts.
Oil in the a/f mixture causes pinging. Engines under load produce oil vapor that gets pulled thru the pcv into the a/f mixture.
The devices the horse crowd are using work and work well as we ran the omg "mustang part" on 2 mopars that ran numerous laps on the road course. Besides collecting oil while running fast they also collect oil under normal driving. Every car should have one. I would post pics of the device but the pics are on a different computer and won't change a thing on here....

So your "facts" are that it collected oil? Very good. no one disputes that, now "prove" how much benefit you get from removing 2 tsps of oil from intake system over 5000 miles.

Thanks for the info guys, I appreciate it. One follow up question. Would using this thing reduce carbon build up on the valves?

I had a catch can on my '06 Charger SRT8 and there was definetly a significant amount of oil in there at every oil change.
I also don't know about on the V6.
Facts are stubborn things.
