Not available in CA, bummer.

I'ma keep an eye out, if this messes with warranty I'll pass till it's up but if it doesn't then I'll be game

So what does it do and if it was needed why isn’t it standard equipment?

It filters out oil from the PCV system to help prevent carbon build up in the intake manifold. Especially relevant for direct injection engines that are turbo charged

The main reason you won’t see one from the factory is you need to empty the catch can every couple thousands of miles and that’s generally not something an average consumer would want to do.

I can’t speak directly for the 2.0 ecoboost but most DI+ turbo vehicles won’t see issues from carbon build up until well past 100k miles.

Personally I think it’s better to just wait until the carbon build up actually causes significant issues (which could be never) than spend money to try and prevent it now- but to each their own.

got the email as well. Whenever I find out that i'll actually be getting this thing, I'll be picking one up.

How often do you need to empty the can?
How easy it it to empty?

So I watched the video and now I'm wondering why do the JLT connections take place in a completely different place than the Buschur connections? Is one going to be more effective than the other because of which lines they are tapping into?

The JLT installs looks to be a heck of a lot more complicated than the Buschur due to where it's feeding into the system. I know sometimes people install them on both sides but is one side going to catch more than the other or be more effective?

Sorry, what does this do ?

“
During the process of venting crankcase pressure back through your intake track, large amounts of oil, in the form of vapors can gather/accumulate in your intake tube, intake manifold runners and even dilute your gas, lowering its octane level. This happens on all engines and is even worse with forced inducted vehicles (supercharged and turbocharged) as crankcase pressures are increased. To combat this, we have developed an oil separator of our own design. Milled from solid billet aluminum this is a rock-solid piece. It has a knurled tank base for easy removal to drain the spent oil and an O-ring seal to prevent any leaks.

Filtering consists of a fine mesh stainless steel screen that traps fine oil vapors and releases them once heavy enough to fall. They then pass through a 1/2" thick 1/16th" aluminum honeycomb filter where they grow every larger and then fall into the bottom. By the time the oil gets through the filter it's too heavy to be passed on into the intake. The tank holds 3 oz of fluid, while that may not sound like a lot, you shouldn’t see that much oil in your PCV system. Drain it every 2000-3000 miles and you will never come close to filling it.”

Sorry guys, personal opinion is this is just some snake oil. They are selling you solutions to a problem that doesn't even exist. I'm sure I will get plenty of flack from this post but I don't care. With the advances in gasoline additives along with simply using some form of injector cleaner every once in awhile there is no reason for this contraption to exist. Sorry, not sorry.

Feel free to start your own sword fight (thread) elsewhere. I clearly posted in the OP, not looking for a debate.

You're right, I won't say anything negative about your precious little under-the-hood jewelry.

I agree that this is a great for the longevity of the engine. I currently have one on my Focus ST 2.0 ecoboost. It does fill up every 3,000- 5,000 miles.

Always used JLT on my Mustangs. Good product.

I have a JLT oil separator on my 2019 Mustang GT. It was the first mod I did to my car.
