M20 Air/Oil Separator

[tony roberts]

So I have been reading this thread and it seems to have gone off into a
which is hotter - more oil or less oil kind of debate.

But right now I am considering buying one of these separators, so would
like to bring it back to the original discussion.

Does it stop oil from coming out of the breather onto the belly of the
plane? Those who have bought one - knowing what you know now, if you
didn't have one, would you buy one?

Thanks for any responses

Tony

So far, so good. There is no oil on my aircraft's belly, and it's been on
the plane for over a month. (Perhaps 12 hours of flight time?)

Usually it would be a greasy, dirty mess by now, and I'd be conning my 14
year old son into cleaning the belly. ;-)

The oil level is down MAYBE 1/4 of a quart from the 12 quarts we put in.
By now I'd have added at least a quart.
