JLT Oil Separator
I've heard many testimonies about the need for an Oil Separator (catch can).
Installed it about 2 months ago. It's been 350 miles and I decided to check it out. I had 1/2" of oil in it. Shocking. Absolutely worth the $$$. http://i1055.photobucket.com/albums/...ps5363fdae.jpg |
Its a good purchse but also depends on how you drive.
|
Those really come in handy when running boosted applications

uhhhm? Spirited? Energetic? Then I put the DR's on and that's another story. Guess it's good that I installed the JLT. |
LOL You may need two jlt's. LOL
|
That's funny!!! but true
|
Is there a way to clean or replace the filter?
|
Didn't seem as much a filter to me, as its more of a turbulence barrier to separate oil from any air pressure/vacuum.

In the pic, the oil is in the cylinder that is removable; Simply unscrew and empty oil, then replace. No filter in it. Here is the link: http://jlttruecoldair.com/ZenCart/in...roducts_id=397 |

Shoot whoever does your oil changes, if the oil catch can gets gunked up with heavy sludge or deposts :)

JLT Oil Separator
I have the moroso catch can and love it. To me it's a nicer piece, has a solid mounting point to the car (JLT hangs freely) and it functions flawlessly. Oh and the draining technique is far better in my opinion..

I suppose if you really wanted to clean it then you simply remove it from the car and spray brake cleaner backwards through the line. But if you ever got one gunked up or clogged due to oil coking then you probably have bigger issues. lol |
And now you see where all your oil goes over time! I am amazed Ford recommends 10k mile oil changes. These engines love to drink oil!
|
Time to pick me up one of these
|
It's a must for high boost applications.
|
Yeah one of my first purchases after I saw what the inside of a stock intake looked like!!! The "filter" is like a chunk of steel wool but with thicker grade wool.. kinda like metal shavings size... All it does is provided a turbulence effect and allow surface area for oil to collect on and then drip into the cup. I have removed mine and blown brake cleaner thru the entire line and cleaned out the cup. But it's really not needed
