I agree the majority of the oil comes from the passenger side of the V6. The PCV is mounted to the passenger side valve cover. The info on the heated PCV input came straight from the Haynes Manual. I will check out the air/oil separator from Home Depot...thanks!

On the home depot/lowes ones, make sure the drain is sealed. Some do or used to open when not under pressure, allowing for 'automatic draining' of filtered liquid. You dont want that to happen!

Good info. Still deciding what to do. I can't believe that there is not a "Plug and Play" oil separator for the V6. Were not more V6's made that V8's? Guess more V8 owners mod their cars that V6'ers. I like that stock look under hood.

I just installed a husky (home depot) filter on my v6. Passenger side, between valve cover and intake manifold. That'll keep that nasty oil out!

Can you post a pic of your separator? Like to see how you fit it in. I want to cut the passenger side PCV tube in half and install the separator right there without having to use oil line hoses or mounting on shock tower struts.

I have the UPR on mine, and while it is supercharged you put the separator in the same spot. It is the aluminum canister on the shock tower, passenger side. I just used some oil resistant hose and connected it to the PCV and the port on the back.

These guys beat me to the punch. UPR's catch can works well, it's Made in America, it carries a Lifetime Guarantee, and it's SUPER easy to install.

Looks great guys...how about non-blower motors that spliced right side PCV line in half and have kept it "in-line", without having to mount on shock tower? Looking to cut and insert right where white label is on PCV line.

Hey guys just emailed JLT about a direct fit separator for our 4.0 v6's and they said they are testing one on an 05 right now and expect them to be available to us in the near future..

OK, now we're talkin'! I'll email them also so they know there's a demand. Seems like a simple addition to their line of products.

JLT wrote me back this morning. Here's what was said:

"Yes, we have a test unit in the field and should be releasing a kits in the next week or so. Keep an eye on the web site.


Thank you,

Jay Tucker"
