[@hellsummon]

can you install these on the 2018 GT? And you should do both sides right?

[@mikeddow1ssemo]

Broke the engine in on my 2020 gt350 then began pushing it probably 25 times to around 7500 rpm. I checked my oil separator on the passenger side and couldn't believe the oil in it. Probably quarter to three eights of an inch of oil. I just ordered the driver side. Thank you Auto Fanatic

[@autofanaticcars]

wow yes please install both sides i know everyone thinks you just need one unless you do turbo or supercharger but to be safe get both. thanks for sharing your experience

[@lenf3641]

On my 2019 GT350 I don't need to release coolant expansion tank to get access for the oil separator. I just need to move a hose inward only a little. No problem for me. Also, I use plastic syringe to extract an oil from oil separator can, so much easier.

[@jdigitalseven7]

These were pretty much designed for latter S197 models, so probably why fitment issues occur in S550s. They were designed to be disconnected from lines and push pins pushed up to take it out and pour oil out of the bottom. No where on Ford Performance instructions is there anything about taking the tiny allen screws out. Taking screws out can lead to losing them and eventually stripping them easily (along with not being able to torque them enough).

[@Coyote-wm5op]

I put one on the passenger side of my 17 f150 5.0 with normal driving. Check it about every 2 months and suck it out in a suction bulb. I’ve put all the oil in a glass jar to see how much oil would’ve gone back in the intake. Many argue that these are only needed on direct injection motors.

[@autofanaticcars]

yes these are def a worthwhile mod if you care about your car. thanks for sharing your feedback using these.

[@justinedward81]

Thank you....i just installed the passenger side today due to back order and did driver side few weeks ago. Simple and effective addition. Just got my shelby gt350 last month and it is a great peace of mind catching that oil before enters intake. Havent had too clean yet but looking forward to this keeping me on track for such a beautiful machine.

[@autofanaticcars]

good stuff

[@jimblackbird5678]

I put one on my 2012 F150 3.5 twin turbo at about 80k miles. It would spit and sputter. I’d have the intake cleaned/fogged and it cleared up. Before the next oil change it started spit, sputtering again. My mechanic recommended the oil separator. I installed an oil separator and it hasn’t happened since. Now it has 140k miles and it’s “not for sale”. They should have installed these at the factory, but then not everyone knows what to do with them. Lesser of two evils I’m sure.

[@kurumaas]

Allow me to thank you for all of the great information you have shared with this novice collectible car owner. A year ago I picked up my own Shelby GT350 and soon after found and began watching your channel. You have made it possible for me to engage in projects I would have never taken on in the recent past. So with that said I recently took your advice concerning the “Ford Performance” oil separators driver and passenger side, and installed them yesterday. I got to thinking is there any need or is it necessary to clean out the intake manifold to remove anything that may have made its way there prior to installing these separators? Thanks again and keep the info coming!! Next project for sure will be dampening the interior.

[@autofanaticcars]

Dustin Maas thanks for watching Dustin my one year review is next week. AF

[@jdigitalseven7]

Its designed to just pop off the plastic hardware up, removing it from car, then dumping it out from bottom part. No reason to mess with the tiny Allen hardware on top to potentially lose

[@stevenkraus1679]

Why not use jlt where it just unscrew? Just picked my 18gt up yesterday and installed a jlt on passenger side after seeing this I'm ordering one for the drivers side

[@lstnlne7399]

I am completely sold on, " Rust Prevention Magic." Those bolts still look brand new and I have watch you Drive that in some harsh New York, Winter Weather. If, I purchase the Product from your link will they give you a kick back. If, so, I will purchase the product from your provided link.

Charles Owens yea go for it the stuff works amazing you saw my chassis how rust free it is as well.

[@bannerrj41]

great vid. I just bought a gt350 and waiting on delivery. I just ordered the catch cans for mine.

[@gtperfection1596]

Another quicker cleaner option is to use a single cycle fuel/oil syringe you can pic it up at Walmart sucks up the oil in seconds then of course you can wipe it out

[@squishydafishy]

turkey baster works as well. less mess either way and you can recycle the oil instead of tossing oil soaked paper towel into the trash

[@jdigitalseven7]

Its designed to take pushpins out and disconnect the hoses and pour oil out. Faster and don't have to mess with taking any screws out and losing them.

[@ElDiablo223]

Thank you sir for this great and very informative video. Stay safe, cheers!

[@cayennepeppa707]

Really great video that I'm catching up on in 2023. Curious, then.what if you don't race the car? I've got a 2023 GT, which I only have 500 miles on. I'm about to do the first oil change on it, but I've been curious about the catch can. I've heard pros and cons so I'm curious about it. Thanks.

[@ddivinia]

Are there any warranty issues with installing these catch cans? Love the videos - new 350R owner.

[@vitoaugello1677]

Actually, I tried the trick with the magnetic tray. Only to find out, the bolts I guess are stainless steel and that idea doesnt work that good. I lost one for about 6 months. It was hiding in the front end plastic tray. Along with other odd parts Ive dropped over the years

[@graves2927]

Sounds like a good idea but sadly, not approved for sale in California even the product made by Ford Performance. I have tracked my 2017 GT350 dozens of days at Sonoma, Laguna and Thunder Hill without apparent issue despite this. Thanks for the vid though.

[@anthonymclaren8918]

Thank you so much for this video.

[@michaelvadney5803]

Thanks for the video. Not a very practical solution considering its a Ford part. Pretty packaging though.

[@joeg9810]

So, I know this is a small amount, but this means that amount is missing from your crankcase so why not put it back in via use of a hand suction pump. Think it's a waste of time and easier to just refill the crankcase with fresh oil? Just curious why throw it away...

[@scottdunn9713]

Ford should put these in to begin with!!!

[@fillflashdetailer8838]

From what I understand, it's essentially illegal to install these on a daily driver. They are made for competition or off-road use only. There is even a disclaimer on the Ford Performance site saying not to use these on public roads.

[@_ALPHA_619]

Summit will not ship to California. I got mine off ebay

[@TheHousemusic22]

Great video! Installed the passenger side on my GT350. Have you noticed your coolant return house rubbing the top of that 4th bolt on the right of the separator? Mine is rubbing and causing the rubber hose to degrade. Curious if you have seen that on yours?

[@keving5896]

I added the driver side a/o sep today and there was no clearence probs w the hose

[@kpxkrnkidx]

How has checking your dipstick accurately changed with the drivers side mount?

[@k9feces]

[@dnalor8753]

do you ever have to clean the filter in there?

[@Mr2004MCSS]

Nice video. I ran both of these on my 2014 Mustang GT for awhile. My driver's side never had oil in it but the passenger side one always had a good amount of oil in it. Have you checked your outlet lines on yours? When I checked mine, the passenger side had liquid oil in the fittings that attach to the intake. Every time I checked it, it would have more oil in it, even after I used a paper towel to dry it out. I went back to using my Bob's Auto Sports cans where it only leaves a slight oil film in the outlet fitting at the intake. I love how the FP ones look factory but they don't work as well as others that are out there.

[@sneakerhead2261]

I’ve always heard the driver sides are a waste of money on these cars the passenger side is the only one you need

[@Mr2004MCSS]

@@sneakerhead2261 For the most part, that is correct. Occasionally I will get a tiny bit in the driver's side.

[@Mr2004MCSS]

@@sneakerhead2261 Pull off the driver's side hose. If you don't find any signs of oil than no you don't. If you do find signs then it's really depends on if you want to spend the money as most good catch cans are not cheap. You will be fine without a driver's side catch can.

@@Mr2004MCSS I got a ford performance can I’m putting on my passenger side one this weekend when I’m doing that I’ll look at the driver side hose. I have heard it’s a waste of money so didn’t think about getting one for it lol

[@jamestone265]

You've got to be reving the hell out these engines continually to get that much oil in the separators. The drivers side is the suction side of the PVC system and should have little to oil in it. I have run one for almost 2 yrs and always find oil but not to that amount and no evidence in the suction side line. After Talking to a Ford performance engineer concerning these he told me only continued racing only use needed a driver side. The supercharged engines definately needed the passenger side.

[@leoxia3458]

why not JLT? easier to maintain, no ellen key needed

[@fillflashdetailer8838]

The JLT model looks aftermarket. This unit from Ford Performance looks entirely OEM.

[@richardlwellington]

Are you able to buy and change out the filter that is stuck on top? Or dose Ford require you to buy a whole new separator?

[@autofanaticcars]

that i do not know but never heard of anyone changing that before feel free to call the Ford Performance Tech line on that

[@Skater100mph]

Nice video, How many miles on your car. I have 1500 and checked mine twice and they have been dry. Have not tracked car yet. I like the Ford Performance ones too as they actually mount. The JLT version free floats.

[@autofanaticcars]

cant beat OEM thats why I got them too. drive the car HARD every day and yours will be filled like mine.

Did you feel like these should’ve been on the car? Or just for people who are going to drive their cars hard?

Hey Auto Fanatic, Great video man ! I installed the same kit on my 18 GT350 and I noticed the top hoes for the passenger side seems kinked to me ? It seems like it's about 1/4 -1/2 inch too long. What is your thoughts on that ? Yours looks similar to mine.....thanks !!

[@Rccrazed]

I am really loving your videos, thank you for all the hard work and great information! Did you run the catch cans all winter? I had a catch can freeze on another car which caused massive damage and headaches unfortunately. The vapor often contains water (moisture) with the oil and can turn in to a popsicle which prevents your PCV system from breathing. Pressure builds and starts popping seals! Is there something special about these Ford Motorsports parts that prevents that somehow? I personally will not run the car in the winter with these and if I need to run the car in sub freezing temps I will remove them. What are your thoughts?

[@autofanaticcars]

i ran these all winter and it was well below freezing for months, no issues, i think if you had a metal canister it might cause that issue you mention but with the fiber reinforced composite of the Ford units i do not see any issues.

[@Rccrazed]

Auto Fanatic very interesting! I just got the separators today! Time to throw them in :-). Summit price matched White Bear Lake Auto Nation Ford.

[@noworries272]

Does this void any warranty? I realize it is a good thing to install these, but does Ford then blame these for other issues?

[@californiaexplorer5836]

At 15:44 of the video he says that it does not void warranty. Ford has never blamed oil separators for any issue.

[@AKAchillez]

Just checked my oil separators. Passenger side was about 1/2-3/4 in deep, but the driver side was bone dry? Any need to worry?

[@seantan4426]

I have a 15 GT, and my driver side is normally bone dry. So I just put a breather filter cap on the vent. Not sure why so much oil on the driverside in this video.

[@Michael_00001]

Why on earth would these not be installed from factory? On the passenger side, why not just unclip the coolant hose? That seems like it would be a lot easier to access that screw.

[@WALL-E559]

From what I’ve found for non-high performance vehicles, Ford says (I heard second hand from a Ford mechanic) that the level of oil accumulated for the “life” (150k-200k miles) of the engine is insignificant. If you go high performance, it’s pretty much required.

[@Michael_00001]

@@WALL-E559 I believe it has to do with having a higher compression engine. I've got oil in my passenger side catch can on a regular basis. Not a whole lot but there's always some in there after higher RPM driving.

Do you have to add oil to your engine between oil changes?

[@autofanaticcars]

once i switched my oil to Amsoil 5W50 at my 1000 mile first oil change early last year I rarely need to top off my oil, the Ford Motorcraft stuff seems to burn easily, too easily for most the Amsoil is the best oil you can get for this engine and I highly suggest you switch over on your car.

[@trainrya25]

Thanks. My Shelby is eating a quart every 150-250 miles it’s in the shop now. Ford is hard to work with. I’ve had the oil separators installed when I bought the car but it still is eating oil.

[@jdigitalseven7]

Its not burning oil. It is vapor blow by..a mixture of oil and gas that gets past piston rings. Every car ever made does this. Used to be blown back into the atmosphere, now they force you to have a PCV system that recycles it into intake. This oil/air separator collects it, so it doesn't go back into the intake.
