I finally put my car away for the winter on Thursday w 5,000 K on the odo.
As most of you know I have been running a Bob's Oil Separator since the day I brought the car home. Since there has been so much discussion about Bob's Vs. JLT, I decided to do a test of my own. At the 2,000 mile mark I ran the Bob's in Series with the JLT. The JLT was first in line and the Bob's was 2nd. Well after 3,000 miles here is the results:
The JLT contained this much oil:
Pretty good right?
Well, not exactly. The Bob's which was in line AFTER the JLT had this much oil in it:
That is a lot of oil getting by the JLT's.
Now in fairness I must say I have not done the test with the oil separators in the reverse order, yet. I will do that in the spring. But I have a theory that the JLT's have a design flaw that lets a lot of oil flow through them. The flaw is that the inlet and outlet are directly across and perpendicular to each other. The Bob's inlet and outlet are offset. I believe this make a huge difference. But I will have to wait until next year to reverse the test. Unless someone else wants to try it this winter.:rolling:
