The following pictures are from three different cars. One being a 5.8 and the other two being 5.4 examples.
We'll start with example #1. My 2014 GT500 after I decided to swap intercoolers for the Kenne Bell BIGUN Intercooler. I did 1,000 miles with no oil separator and 1,800 miles with just a passenger side oil separator.
See for yourself. Ford Motorcraft 5w-50
Now let's move on to a 2011 GT500 that has 39,000 miles on the clock and 15 PSI max boost pressure and has never seen an oil separator EVER.
Oh and there's no oil blow through on the driver's side you say??? Wrong again. 2007 GT500 with KB 3.6 and 25 PSI. Driver Side inlet tube and throttle body pics.
Oil separators will not catch 100% of all of the blow through. But it sure is good peace of mind knowing you're at least trying to prevent this from happening to your ride.
