A centrifugal separator for the lubricating oil circuit of an I.C. engine comprises a rotatably mounted cylindrical vessel internally divided by a frusto-conical wall 11, whose inner edge defines an annular gap 20 around a central inlet tube 2, through which oil is fed into upper chamber 6. The oil flows from chamber 6 through gap 20 to tangential outlet nozzles 8, which cause the vessel to rotate. The area of gap 20 in mm<2> is 60 - 120 times the flow through the separator in litres/minute. <IMAGE>
