Just about a week ago we installed one of our JLT Oil Separators on our 5.0. We make these plug and play for 05-10 GT’s, 07-11 GT500, 99-04 Cobras and more, so we mocked one up on the 5.0 and started checking it often.

After only a few miles we had oil in the cup, but after a week and only about 30 +/- normal driving miles we have at least 1.5+ tablespoons of oil that we kept out of the intake manifold.

We are in the testing stages of the product and just added one to the driver side today and will keep an eye on that as well. You will get most from the side with the PCV valve, which is the passenger side on the 5.0, but you will also get a small amount from the other as well.

Oil in the PCV system is normal, but you want to do everything you can to keep it out. It will gum up your intake runners, throttle body blades, valves and even dilute your fuel.

I was very surprised at the amount of oil I found, but our separator will take care of it. We have more testing to do and then get parts ordered. We use OEM Ford PCV lines and they come pre cut with the JLT separator installed for a 15 second plug and play install.

Keep an eye out for this new product from JLT. For more info on this products go here
