1LE Question

Is it okay to run the 1LE oil seperator for daily driving?

It is probably worth mentioning that there is a recommendation out there to not use it below 32 degrees. Apparently, condensation can form in the separator and end up draining down into the crankcase.

I used to run mine 24/7 too, then this started happening.http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=412376 If you start throwing a misfire code, then you now know what the problem is.

As far as the 32 degree recommend, I instead follow the Goodyear recommend about the tires, so my car never sees out of doors when 40 or less the night before.

Not one cel yet.
