As everyone else pointed out, there's no flame trap proper.. but the turbos do have the housing.. which can still collect crap. All of the red blocks have an oil separator on the block as well.

I'll be switching both of the bricks to Mobil 1 0w30 soonish I suppose. No way would I run anything thicker than 10w30.. especially if the outside temps don't get above 100C. 15w50 is waaaayy too thick. You'll notice this when it's cooler outside and the valve start making a racket because they're starved for oil for a while.
