Vent Oil Separator Replacement & Labor Costs

What is a Vent Oil Separator?

A vent oil separator, also known as a crankcase ventilation system, helps separate oil vapors from the engine's crankcase gases. It plays a crucial role in reducing emissions and improving engine efficiency by preventing oil sludge buildup. A malfunctioning oil separator can lead to poor engine performance, increased emissions, and potential engine damage. Replacing a faulty vent oil separator is important for maintaining vehicle performance.
