Oil Separator for 2015 GT

[50THPONY]

Is one of this a good investment for the new 2015 GT? Coyote owners please chime in.

Got mine sitting on my work bench waiting for my car to come to me. Highly recommend them especially if going to supercharge

I have one installed in my 2011 GTCS and have one ready to install on the 2015

It works very well ....... worth the money

Engine oil in your intake air stream can cause a lot of problems. Most modern PCV systems, even those found on brand new Mustangs are woefully inadequate at blocking engine oil from entering the intake system as vapor. The oil then forms droplets, and gets drawn back into the intake manifold.

There are several problems that arise from engine oil in the intake path. ation obtained fromOne is that the small oil droplets can trap dirt particles, in addition to paticles that may already be trapped within those droplets themselves. The oil also coats the insides of intake manifold runners, the intake ports of the cylinder heads, the backs of the valves, and even the tops of pistons.
Engine oil also has a much higher flash point than gasoline. This means that its presence changes the octane of the fuel being burned when enough of the oil vapor or droplets are present. This can lead to incomplete combustion, drivability problems, and even engine damage. It’s especially dangerous for cars with forced induction.


Whether your Mustang is a daily driver, or weekend warrior, you can benefit from running an oil catch can.

I would recommend one. I used the Moroso unit.

If I don't run the car hard I get a tablespoon or two out of it at my oil change , if I go to the track or drag strip a few times I get about double. Worth every penny.

Some guys get more oil in them, boosted in particular.

So 2 Tablespoons per oil change…at 5000 miles between oil changes, that means the air/oil ratio has to be about a million to one. I can believe that might deposit on the intake manifold, but I find it hard to believe it affects the octane of the air/fuel mixture, or affects drivability. I agree this is important for forced induction engines.

I completely agree with the above statement.

I will also add my personal opinion, one thats based off of being a mechanic for the last 35 years.

If a huge team of engineers that designed the engine and its associated components thought that any oil vapor would be a problem or detrimental to the longevity or performance of the engine that they designed dont you think they would have installed or designed some kind of system to keep it from happening?

Now on FI applications yes it is a good idea but for the daily driven N/A vehicle I believe its a waste of money and just one more thing that you have to deal with under the hood. Just because you get a teaspoon full of oil, especially on a brand new engine thats not even fully broken in yet doesnt mean there is a problem.

not really it keeps cost down, plus 2 tablespoons you let go by every oil change sits there and deposits get on your valves and eventually over time could cause less air flow to get by the valves and even cause them not to seat properly anymore

Pretty sure this is PCV fumes entering the intake. Takes like 2 or more years to build up. But it's there.

Most of the vapor is caught by the pvc or burns up so it's no big deal for most vehicles but if you drive hard all the time it can add up.

 

[50THPONY]

I plan on keeping it N/A, but will be driving it very hard most of the time. I think for $120 I'll make the small investment.

One or Two

Is the one on the pass side of the engine enough? Would one on each side be that much better or overkill?

 

[stang6515]

anyone using the UPR one? didn't know if there is a difference between the various vendors or all do about the same?

I have not, just JLT's but now ford racing has one I'll be getting
