Im telling you again my friend. The northeast and everywhere with freezing temperatures is susceptable to this oil seperator pandemic. Poor engineering has led many to change to a newer designed seperator(if they even make one), or the need to install electric heaters for them. Ive taken my X5 off the road from november to april for this exact problem.
