My engine seems to blow a fair amount of oil (Reman, 10:1 compression) and I have an air/oil separator.

 

I think it will depend on what your engine does.

Don't have. Don't need.   Virtually no oil loss from vents.  Factory new 750TT.

Hey LML gang, we’re finalizing our firewall layout and the Lancair Legacy manual says the Continental IO-550 engine does not require an air/oil separator.  Still, I’ve noticed some IO-550’s flying with them and some without.  Would appreciate advice from the community on whether we should install one…

 

Thanks,
