JLT oil separator

Had mine on for one week, 1/2 filled with crap. Granted my drive to work is 1.5 miles, I know I'll fill mine up quicker than most. But glad it's catching most of it.

I put on about 300 a week and get more tha. Half full. I empty mine as much as possible. I don't think this winter fuel helps

Greetings,

I just purchased mine from stage 3 motor sports.. anybody have any experience with them? I was reading and I hope I get the new filter design!

Already put 5K miles on my new truck so I have a feeling this should be on top of the list!

Has anyone noticed different levels of gunk change depending on what oil you use?

Thanks,

I clean out my JLT every week. Do you guys just poor it back in the engine of throw it away?

You most likely got the new filter. Is it small and inserted into one of the lines in the cap?

Toss it on the fire.... there is a lot of moisture that can be mixed in there. Not worth putting that little bit back in the engine.

2 tanks of gas, it has been cold and there has been a lot of idling time via remote start.

This is still just a cheapo open can that I had laying around when I decided to install it. I've just not got around to making a baffle/diffuser inside of the thing.





It's mostly moisture, I'll let it settle for a couple of days before adding it to the used oil bucket.

Edit: Let it sit overnight, most of the oil came to the top, the rest is frozen.

I just installed mine last week, city driving, cold morning starts and idle time from remote starts. 10 minutes to work, One road trip in there of 165 miles. I figured somewhere around 250 miles plus all the idling time. It's been real cold up here.

I don't care what anybody says. This thing works! It's about 35 % full , We have e10 and 1/2 of the tank I ran through it was e10. I just found a place that sells NON ethanol 91 year round so my tank is now full of that.( SORRY @Wilson) I love my JLT!

Oil is AMSOIL SIGNATURE SERIES

Yup, mine is always similar, but my drive to work is 3-4 minutes... LOL

Question; if your engine is not reaching operating temperature, does more oil vapor reach the crankcase then?

Yes. With synthetic oils now, it is less susceptible, but even so, I still do more frequent oil changes.
