Welcome to the VFF!!
Here is a picture from the Service Bulletins. There was a newer designed released as shown to help prevent the oil mist from coming out
Make sure the underside of the oil cap is not bottomed out on the tube. The crankcase needs to breathe

And the rest of the story. If your car is May of 1930 to end of production, the breather pipe would look like the one to the right.

i looked in the engine sub-forum and didn’t see it so thought I’d ask everybody's opinion here. What is the correct orientation of the baffles in the oil tube?08-12-2019, 02:49 PM -
Well, since all the newsletters I get have the "Tech Tip" about the oil filler cap and cleaning the filler tube, and since I don't know the answer, I was wondering if there is a specific way to install the tube.
Alignment of the baffles? Orientation of the baffles?
I haven't been able to find anything on how the baffles are best aligned.03-03-2020, 09:54 AM -
I need to reinstall the oil filler tube on a 1928 engine, but I did not pay attention to the baffle orientation when I removed it. I believe there is a service bulletin on this. I want to get it correct because I have heard that blow by can happen if the baffles are not positioned correctly.03-16-2023, 10:50 AM -
I have an oil fill tube that does not have a removable cap. It does have a flexible vent pipe going down the side. What is this thing?05-31-2017, 07:50 AM -
So as not to hijack the other oil thread on here, I thought I would ask a new question in a new thread.
It seems conventional wisdom says you can mix conventional oil and synthetic. Its also been reported that conventional oil will detract from the superior performance of synthetic oil and reduce its benefits.
It's also a given that a quart or more oil stays in the tray...09-04-2017, 03:12 PM -
Greetings everyone. Been a long time since I've posted anything....so here goes. I am currently (slowly) gathering parts that I will eventually need to assemble my Burtz motor. I was wondering about the oil fill tubes and the baffles inside those.... Not the "B" fill tubes, but the "A" tubes.... I came across what looked like a very old drawing of some "new/improved"...10-08-2022, 12:09 PM -
I've posted earlier about oil leak while car is running (leaks only immediately after a drive, no leaking while parked in garage). One of the possible remedies mentioned is oil cap on too tight or tabs bent and allowing pressure to build up in crankcase, to that end I have ordered a new oil cap and will install it. While examining old cap I found the cap to be "packed" with steel wool....11-18-2019, 10:14 AM -
I changed my oil today but did not pour any oil down the distributor hole as many claim they do. I have read, looked at pictures and diagrams but fail to understand the logic behind it. To me the oil would go around and down the shaft, over the pump and into the sump. Oil poured into the crankcase tube goes to the same place. If changing oil removes oil from the upper valve chamber so would letting...03-30-2021, 05:43 PM -
This has to do with the two ORIGINAL Oil Level Indicators (OLI) (aka the Dip Stick) and just how much oil you have in your engine when checking.
I decided to compair the oil level marks when a known amount of oil is in the engine.
It is "somewhat" a known fact that when you drain the oil from the engine, there is about 1 pint (16 oz.), more or less, of oil left...11-27-2021, 07:52 PM -
The Model T does not have an oil pump. The engine and transmission share an oil pan, they are both bathed in the same oil. That oil is picked up by dippers under the connecting rods and slung around the engine. The magneto is attached to the flywheel and the bottom of it spins through the sump throwing oil everywhere. Ford had a funnel and tube system to catch some of that oil slung by the magneto...You do not have permission to view this gallery.
