New catch can option for the 350

[Donkey]

Wasn't sure where to put this, or if there was a specific thread for the cans available.. If so mod's please redirect.

I owned the Ford performance drivers side can and while it's the obvious factory stock appearing choice, it doesn't offer a real solution to quickly check the oil level. I had checked into some other options and happened to message Radium engineering, they told me they were releasing a kit for the s197 and s550. I ordered the passenger side kit (the drivers side does not fit the gt350 with the stock air box I'm told they are working on a solution) and it arrived today, the can itself IMO is the best option I've seen, the dipstick is also really awesome to check the cans contents as well as the option for a drain petcock on the bottom and the 2 piece design that allows the bottom to be spun off like a filter. I'll post up some more pics once it's installed this week. Also with the fittings running braided hoses like the Earl's shouldn't be an issue. Here a couple of pics I snapped.

I'll snap a couple when I try home tonight. Here is a link to the universal can that has detailed pictures. The only visible difference in my can internally is you can physically see the stainless mesh inside the ports.

How much oil "blow by" is "normal"?

I have a JLT 3 ounce catch can on the passenger side. After 1000 miles from the last oil change, 1 ounce of oil had accumulated in the separator. The car is using about 1 quart per 1200 miles at 5500 total miles. I'm not tracking the car.

Having an oil separator is worth it.
