What is an engine oil separator?

An engine oil separator is a device that is designed to separate oil, fuel and air in an internal combustion engine. The separator is usually located in the cylinder block and is designed to collect oil and fuel that have not been fully burned off during the combustion process.

What is the purpose of an engine oil separator?

The purpose of an engine oil separator is to ensure that the internal combustion engine is able to run properly and efficiently. The separator collects oil and fuel that has not been fully burned off during the combustion process, and returns it to the engine's crankcase. This helps to reduce emissions and improve fuel economy.

How do I determine if my engine oil separator is faulty?
