What to do with oil in the separator?

[cosm3os]

Can I just dump it back in the engine?

 

[Justin]

I wouldn't as it usually also collects some water vapor as well.

I just throw it out. 4oz of oil isnt going to break the bank I hope.

Yeah...I concur. I just throw mine out. Would recommend you do the same....easier to just top off with fresh if the level drops.

 

[cosm3os]

Not being cheap, just hoping it would easier to dump it back in than to collect and take to JiffyLube.

Well like Justin said...the stuff comes in as a vapor and collects....as it cools...how much moisture does it draw in?? I don't know....but the crankcase oil gets hot enough to get the moisture out of it. INMHO....I Just think protecting the engine versus a small amount of condensed oil to be thrown out is the way to go. Just my 2 cents worth.

I dump it back in, it's barely an oz when ever I've checked it. I just have the small one from JLT or JLP I don't remember which one. Too many company's names shortened by initials to remember.

JLT
JLP is johnny lightning performance

remember an oz of prevention is worth more then a pound of cure.....why chance it?

Throw it out. I use an empty water gallon I just keep filling with oil and empty it when I do an oil change.
