How you run your plumbing has a lot to do with how much oil winds up in =
the can. Your big vent has air movingrelatively slowly, which means if =
it got up at a steel angle a lot of the entrained oil will condense on =
the tube walls and drop back into the crankcase. Modern dry sum cans use =
a swirl separator. You can so something similar in the oitlet to get =
more oil back into the motor. If you separate the oil and water cans =
then you can pipe the drain line back to the engine without harm.=20

Otherwise, a cup of oil is no big deal.=20
