07SGT5111 Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Hey everyone. Looking into getting an oil separator and have a few questions. Not against or for bling just want the best quality application. 1.) how long can I go without emptying the container out. 2.) which is the best brand. I like the billet Shelby one for obvious reasons but if there is a better one on the market I would go with it. Your input would be much appreciated and considered!

clark17357 Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 I am fine with the one that came from Shelby when the Mod Shop installed the blower on my car. It is a unit you can see into so you know when it is time to empty it. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07SGT5111 Posted December 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 oh really? the one I seen on Shelby performance did not indicate a see through design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clark17357 Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Correct - mine was part of the Kenne Bell package. The Shelby one is an add on. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FordFan1 Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 I have JLT on my SGT and rarely has any measurable oil in it. I'm not sure if it works, I check it once a month and it usually has just enought to wipe out with a paper towel. FYI - I drive it only 2k to 3k miles a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperNC Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 I've been trying to ascertain if I even need the oil separator or not. Basically, I think it comes down to this: If you drive the car on the track you need one. If you don't drive the car on the track, but get into the boost often you may need one. If you rarely hit the throttle hard and drive mostly for pleasure, it's a waste of money unless you're looking for extra bling under the hood. I checked the hoses on both sides of the engine bay and both were dry as a bone. I get into the boost every time I drive, albeit for just a few moments on public roads. This is most likely more hype than anything else for 99% of the people who own Shelby's with a stock blower. Maybe with something like the TVS or Kenne Bell which has greater volume it becomes more of an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2008GT-C Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 The brand on my car is from Moroso there was not a Shelby separator at the time of purchace. The Moroso has a drain valve at the bottom. It gets emptied a few times a year not a lot of oil to fill it if I let it go for a season. - Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug_GT350 Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 I have the JLT on mine and I get about 2 - 3 tablespoons out of it every 1000 miles. No track just street driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
