Oil separator
Who here is running the JLT oil separator, or a comparable one, on the 2011-2012 GTs? Looking to add this to my first mods list. It definitely can't hurt. With only 15 miles on the car it would be a great way to keep this motor healthy.

The 4.6 and the 5.0 have different locations. Yes it does matter. If you look at the separator for the 2010 it has a different location. I'm going to purchase this and a few other things when the time comes closer for me to come home and get the car.

It separates the oil vapor from the air that is coming into the manifold via the PCV (positive crankcase ventilation). If you have ever removed an intake manifold and there is oily sludge or pools of oil in the intake, this is where it is coming in. No matter if it is a new engine or one with 300k miles, there is oil that will come in through the system without a separator.

JLT Performance’s newest product to keep oil out of your intake is the Oil Separator. During the process of venting crankcase pressure back through your intake track, large amounts of oil, in the form of vapors, can coat your blower rotors, intercooler fins and even dilute your gas, lowering its octane level. This happens on all engines and is even worse when supercharged as crankcase pressures are increased.
To combat this, we have developed an oil separator of our own design. Milled from solid billet aluminum this is a rock solid piece. It has a knurled tank base for easy removal to drain the spent oil and an O ring seal to prevent any leaks. We took this unit a step further and added a Ford Motorcraft metal mesh PCV Pre Filter element. This element collects the last bit of oil droplets and drains back into the tank when the engine is shut down. We use this exact filter in our hugely successful JLT Pre Filters for the 4.6 DOHC engines. The tank holds 2 oz of fluid, while that may not sound like a lot, you shouldn’t see that much oil in your PCV system. Drain it every oil change and you will never come close to filling it.
This new JLT Oil Separator is designed to work on any engine, but we have made it easy for many of the popular Mustangs we offer parts for. No more drilling holes and routing hoses all over your engine bay. Offered as a plug and play set up for all 2007-2011 Shelby GT500’s passenger and drivers side and 2005-2010 Mustang GT’s drivers side with factory PCV hard lines already attached. Simply unplug your stock line and attach the new set up, no bracket needed as it supports itself. When you’re ready to empty the tank, just undo the clips on the factory lines and remove the entire line, unscrew the tank, empty and reinstall. This will take less then 1 minute to complete, too easy!!
no.. seriously... lol
