Ford Performance Oil Separator

I have one on the drivers side and a JLT on the pass side. The JLT is easier to empty, the canister simply screws off. Very handy as the pass side fills much faster.

Unless you run your car 100% on the track, you really only need the right side separator. If you install both you will find the left side collects no oil for a daily driver or occasional track car.
That is the way the PCV system connections work, a drivers side separator is a waste of money and unnecessary clutter under the hood.
The Ford separator is a nice addition, factory look and fairly easy to use. I use a brake bleeder to remove the oil. 4 screws and 30 seconds to clean it out about every 3000 - 4000 miles.

Installed mine on passenger side only. As previously mentioned, unless you are logging a lot of very aggressive track time, driver's side is unnecessary. I went the JLT route as the install was incredible simple and removing caught oil is a snap. The Ford cans are not that "user friendly."

I installed FP pass side @ 557 miles. after 969 miles there was 30mL of oil(1.0144oz) @1526 miles, after 1002 miles there was 36cc of oil (1.183oz) @2528 miles

I concur with all of the above. Every video I've ever seen on a drivers oil can has been bone dry; and I do mean zero mist, film, nada...bone dry. I've seen the other cans, but you just can't beat the "it's supposed to be there" look of the Ford can.

I was wondering about what kind of pain it would be to empty the FP separator. I have a JLT separator on the passenger side of my 2015 GT so that sounds like the way to go. Thank you!

Yeah, I like the look of the FP separator too, but it sure looks like a pain to empty. The JLT separator on the other hand look a tad odd but it's a snap to empty.

The FP separator does look like it's supposed to be there and thanks to everyone who responded I've decided to put a separator on the passenger side only. Thank you!

My car will only see occasional track use, but it's not really a daily driver because my other two ponies have to get their turn. Sounds like the Ford separator on the passenger side is the way to go. I might trade out the JLT I have on my 2015 GT for a Ford separator. It does look much nicer. Thank you!

Yes, the Ford separator is the most complicated of the lot to drain, but “complicsted” is such a relative term. If the two hose quick disconnects and the two pins on the valve cover are more than you can bare, thence.....

Important fact, the Ford Seperator is the only Emission Certified Part. Makes a difference for many when bolting anything on your engine. If not, save your old hose to sell with car. Use of anything is a most though. I would stay with Factory part.

Man...you are one solid, warranty averse dude, LOL! HaHa!

I have FP ones on both sides. The left side does get moist but no measurable oil in it usually. I just unscrew the tops and use a syringe to clean them.

Jim, good point, I have the JLT (which works fine) and it takes all of 5 seconds to remove/replace the hose assembly...definitely keep the stock hose!

I ended up with the the FP version (warranty averse?....). Does the JLT (can) secure to anything? The FP unit has a bracket to the valve cover. Seems relevant if I Track the car.

The driver side JLT oil separator comes with a bracket that mounts to an existing hole on the strut tower. The passenger side doesn't. I spoke to JLT and they set me up with a bracket and longer hoses so I could mount my passenger side oil separator.

I went with the FP separator, installed it a couple of days ago. It looks much nicer than the JLT I have in my GT. May switch that out for an FP one of these days purely for esthetics.

I agree, looks a lot better too. The way it attaches to the valve cover makes me feel much better.

(BTW, love the orange!).

I don't like the way the JLT has no attachment point(s) except for the hoses. Wasn't sure I'd like the orange based on photos I saw but it really pops in the sun. It certainly sparks conversations at the gas stations.
