It seems as the 5.0 is no different and gets a bunch of oil running up into the vent tube...
I have a JLT Oil Separator in the 4.6 and gotta say it's been working pretty well. So figured if anyone is interested in one of these units I'd post it. There's probably others out there? But this seems to be a good offering.

I've never used one of these before and from the picture looks like you would make a mess when you empty the thing. Please advise.

Yes it's needed and yes we are working on it.
It will use the factory lines and look much better then what is pictured above

The one on my Ducati race bike was 6 times as big as that. Hard to believe a can that small would do much good. The air holds the oil in suspension because of the velocity of its movement so for the oil to drop out the volume has to be big enough for the oil to fall out of the still air. I used a fuel chiller can on my Lotus turbo many years ago it was about two quarts in volume. The lower connector was hooked to the old mechanical fuel pump location so it drained back into the motor any time the engine stopped running or there was vacuum in the crank case.

If you need a larger can you have an inturnal issue, no 5-8 Qt engine should loose 2 qt's of oil through the PCV system.

A few tablespoons every 1000 miles is all you will see, but that still needs to be stopped.

Funny you make the thing and don't understand how it works. The can size is not based on the amount of oil but getting the air speed down so it drops the oil.

You don't necessarily need a bigger can if you use a porous metal filter/muffler inside. That would be the same idea as a compressed air filter; the oil droplets hit the filter and slow down enough to fall out of suspension and pool in the bowl of the filter. I'm fairly certain that if it will filter 6 or 7CFM at 120PSI it'll handle the whatever the PCV puts through.
