GrimmSpeed Air Oil Separator Red
Subaru WRX 2008-2014 / Legacy GT 2005-2012
Features & Product Details
RallySport Direct proudly carries a great selection of quality aftermarket performance products brought to you by GrimmSpeed.
This is the GrimmSpeed Air Oil Separator. If you're familiar with modifying your vehicle, then you will know the importance of an air/oil separator, especially in a boxer-designed engine. The GrimmSpeed example comes with a unique design as it utilizes the factory oil filler cap location to maintain your PCV system while separating the harmful oil and vapors from the crankcase, as well as the head ventilation system. This will prevent oil from coating the intake manifold which will make can make its way onto the valves which will affect the octane rating which leads to detonation issues and performance issues.

product is sturdy and doesn't feel cheap. Love the look it gives when you pop your hood. Installation was kinda confusing and took me about 2 hrs to do but overall does it's job!
Good part installing it pretty difficult, and the instructions leave a bunch of important stuff out. I installed in about 3 hours just because each connector and hose was really hard to get on.
I purchased my AOS about a year ago and lived in NC where the weather never gets much colder than 32. Now i live in NY and I have nothing but problems with this AOS. It creates a milky residue that freezes in the lines and also PCV valve. I've been having issues with my car burning insane amounts of oil and blowing smoke out the back like a waazoo and this AOS is the problem. I had no issues in the warm temps but I highly do not advise on buying this if you'll be driving in cold temps. Product is worthless and only harmful to my car in the winter. Recommended buying IAG AOS if you live in colder climates.
Fairly straight forward and easy. All the hoses and fittings are of good quality and the AOS is very well made. Had a bit of an issue with the passenger side head tune but got it all to fit nicely. All in all pretty impressed and looking forward to no longer have oil going through my Intake.
Came with everything I needed. the instructions from grimspeed's website were somewhat hard to follow but accurate. Install took about 1.5 hours and I didn't use the zipties provided. (bought worm clamps 5/16" - 7/8" & 1/4-Inch-5/8-Inch Pack of 20) ALSO lube the ends of the connectors before trying to insert them into the tubes.... cut my hand trying to force it in without lube ... because I'm a genius.

Q: efficiency 12WRX6 years ago
I'm curious as to how efficient this is. I couldn't find any design information for it and although i love the location of it i feel like it wouldnt be as efficient as a rectangular or cylinder model. Any info you can give me?

A: It is quite efficient! It routes oil back into the oil feed tube just as any other AOS would.

A: Hello, Yes this is the correct kit for your car. The installation will remain the same but there might be some minor differences in the appearance of valves at fittings. Installation should not be changed though. Mike

A: This should work with a FMIC set up as long as your piping has the appropriate ports for routing the head breathers. You will also want to make sure your piping isn't touching your oil cap. Mike
