You have no idea what is going on here if you think that this oil is coming from the intake filter.
Google is your friend. Look up "blow by".

Google blow by. You'll learn all about what causes this oil build up. Get the separator to keep this from going into your intake.
I thought Canadians were all friendly.

Thanks for all the great feedback guys.
We are testing the driver side on our 5.0 and so far are not seeing much of anything when on the street.
I had it on when I was running the road course @ VIR and damb near filled it, but that's with 30 minutes of 7000rpm driving and hard G's, so I don't see it needed on the street, but we are still testing.
We may release it, but will honestly tell you what to expect with street or track use.
Thanks
Jay

FYI, we have released the plug and play kit for the driver side.
I will be up front and say that 90% of you will not see oil on the driver side in normal street driving.
The only time I was able to get oil on the driver side is when on the road course. High RPM and tons of on/off WOT will cause a draw on the driver side and pump oil into the intake tube.
I actually filled my separator in 1 30 minute session.
But again, most will only need the passenger side.

Hi Tucker
I bought one the other day from AM and they said they were out of stock and will ship it when it comes in stock. I am going to the track in the beginning of April and was wondering if they will be back in stock by then?
Thanks

Besides oil, it can also pick up some condensation (esp. in cold weather) and some other assorted gunk. Sometimes what is in the can looks really nasty!

I have seen a few with these listed in their sigs, now after reading this am feeling pressed to make this mod. Someone even stated it was the best mod on their vehicle. Hmmm. Why does Ford not install a simple part like this if it is going to cause future problems to the engine??? Should I put one on my Nissan Titan too???

I just installed mine today. Install took maybe 30 seconds once I got the engine cover off - but you should probably mention that if you have a STB, that will need to come off in order to remove the engine cover - it won't slide under the STB. 4 13mm bolts and it comes right off. It's heavy!
I'll check back in a few hundred miles to see what all it's caught.
