Black JLT Oil Separator - Passenger Side (11-13 GT)

It's certainly recommended to run an oil separator, but make sure the one you get has the metal fittings on the can, rather than the plastic ones because the JLT cans don't come with a mounting tab.

So next question. One says drivers side, the other says passenger side. Which do you get? What's the diff? Just preference? To move out of the way of other mods?

Passenger Side or you can do both but most people report the drivers side does not catch much oil.

Doesn't really matter, easier on the passenger side since the PCV is on that side IIRC.. Catch cans are universal, and if you don't like the location where it sits normally you can remote it a bit further, make a bracket and mount it, anything really.

Gotcha, so I don't' need both sides then correct? Thanks for the help, I'm a noob. I'll order the passenger side now.

Worthwhile addition. You'll be amazed how much it catches.

Put one on my passenger side just after I brought the car home. Necessary? Probably not. I drive my car slow and easy and it's staying pretty much stock. I figured it's a one-time expense and now every time I read a post about one I don't have to feel left out :-)
