My valve cover is nicely baffled underneath the PCV outlet, so not a lot of
oil gets sucked up in to the separator to begin with. The separator unscrews in to two parts, with a rubber O-ring between them, since it has to be air-tight. I think most of us would get by with a once-a-driving-season dump. Now, be advised that you'll see a vacuum drop at idle. I went from about 12" down to 9" (both with and without the
oil separator) when I went from an off-the-shelf PCV valve to the Wagner. This valve, along with cracking my secondaries open just a bit so that I can have my primary butterfly down at the bottom of the transfer slot, really makes my idle nice and reliable even with the hottest of under-hood temps. Before doing all of that, I would occasionally have to "heel and toe" the throttle at stoplights, on really hot summer days, after having run her hard. I no longer have to do that at all.
