JLT Oil Separator for the 5.0
I know from working on helo's that new engines and transmissions usually produce a small amount of shavings from break in type wear. Unless you have chunks larger than 1 mm, I would say, in my estimation, its nothing to worry about. I will be doing my first oil change at 3,000 miles to clean out the garbage, then should be good to go. Can't hurt.
I kinda figured that's what it might be. I wasn't freaking out about it.
Edit: Not to hijack the thread, but when are you finally gonna come out with body-colored CAIs? I lost $20 or so because I couldn't wait any longer on you to sell it to get a tuner with it. Shame.

Just ordered the black one!
I really wish my current car had something like this. the inside of the intercooler piping is all pretty much coated with oil and in the 4 years I've owned it, I've had to clean the PCV system twice (a nice 7 hour ordeal)
Never again.

I love mine and i will say the anti seize kinda startled me too but it is just that nice silver lube to keep the threads lubed so they come apart better i think ..
Which brings up a Question .. will I need to reapply anti seize after a good cleaning ??

Not every company is instant these days.
My JLT oil separator has been installed for a bit over a full week now (about 8 days).
I average about 100km/62mi each day, so that's about 800km/500mi now that it's been running. Here is the result:

A lot less oil than I thought, maybe 1 teaspoon.
But still I'm very glad that I picked this up - that's a teaspoon of oil that I've kept out of my intake! I just passed 12,000km/7,500mi. I wish I would have purchased this from day 1. I'd highly recommend anybody to pickup this up - not that expensive and it definitely works!
