Hey guys, so i only found one thread on here discussing the oil separator(s) for these cars. Seems to be a yes you should run one, or thats just a waste of money!
Has anyone run one that is a brand besides JLT? I originally used a JLT on my 07 S197 after i had a pool (no exaggerating) of oil in my intake manifold. I fouled plugs a few times and after adding the JLT i noticed it caught a bit of oil. Fast forward a couple years, i ordered my 15 S550 and this was one of the first things i did. This time however, i went with the Bob's catch can which caught a lot of oil.
Now, i know the motors are night and day different and new low mile vs older and higher mileage probably makes a little difference. What i noticed though was the way the design was different. Personally i think the Bobs catch can was setup way better, the oil comes into the bottom, goes through more filtering, and air back out the top. This lead to a decent bit of oil having to be drained in a fairly short amount of time. On the JLT i feel like the design might catch some, but because it is essentially just straight through, quite a bit of oil still gets by.
Getting ready to order an 18, or apparently now a 19 and wanted to see if anyone has used anything else or had similar experience? I also see quite a few people running the breather valves, mostly on boosted applications, but if you use or have used them, which is better?
