Need an Oil Seperator on the new 5.0? YEP!!

They'll work just fine. I wrapped the threads on mine with a bit of teflon tape just to be sure there was a fixed seal.

Thank, I was also wondering about the tape.

Did I misread the thread? I was under the impression the JLT units were shipping with the metal fittings instead of the plastic fittings.

The JLT unit I received today definitely feels like plastic fittings.

Am I retarded?

Did you buy direct from JLT or a vendor?

My Moroso one came with brass fittings....

Indeed and you don't have to take it apart to drain either. It is a quality piece.

The cost difference is more than just a pair of brass fittings though.

Looks like you have to put a cup underneath it to drain it. Unscrewing the JLT isn't difficult.

I will bitch that it needs better fittings though. The plastic gets weak after a while and you will break them if you don't hold the top of the can while unscrewing the bottom.

+1 Oh man, it's so labor intensive to turn the bottom can 7 rotations off and 7 rotations on. Beats having to get an external container to collect the fluid though.


See, the only complaint is something that JLT voluntarily offered a fix for.

JLT's have been coming with aluminum straight and glass filled 90* fitting for over a year.

If someone needs fittings my emails in my sig.

Totally off topic here, Jay do you have any plans to adapt your separator for a Focus ST?

 

[Tucker]

If one pops in the shop I'll take a look.

I had him look at my focus-non turbo- a while ago and he did not seem interested in it; I picked one up from S&H and it has not collected a drop so I don't think the Focus' need one.

 

[RazorbackMustang]

The turbocharged one might though.

Jay, if you were closer I'd pop in. Kind of a long drive though. Figured it was worth an ask.

It might but I doubt it...my concern was with the engine being DI there might be some blow by but after 13K with the catch can and zero oil in the can I think Ford got that one right.

I did my first oil change today with Amsoil SS 5W-30 and checked my new JLT. Installed it about a month ago. Approx. 2 table spoons. Me likey.

 

[JDos1]

You should notice even less with the 5w-30. When I switched from 5w-20 to 10w-30 there was a significantly less amount collecting.

I think I'm going to go ahead and make one from the JLT universal kit. JBR wants $200 freaking dollars for theirs and you have to have some kind of container to empty it as it only has a petcock. (....rofl). Now...to find that discount code.

 

[Greg Hazlett]

Let me know if you want to see where I placed mine.

 

[RazorbackMustang]

Yes I do!

Show us a pic after you make the setup!

 

[RazorbackMustang]

I'll try to remember. Lol.
