Correction: Ford did have conflicting data about what was included with the 2020 handling package cars, but working off 4 year old memories, I swapped the adjustable strut top mounts with the oil separator. The separator was in fact included with the 2020 HP cars. The adjustable strut top mounts were officially not... although some owners received some that were intended for other VINs. This was corrected in 2021 & 22... those cars received the adjustable strut top mounts.

I enjoy your channel and how diligent you are. Taking notes so when I get my Shelby I can be prepared!

Thanks for the terrific video. I recently purchased a 2021 GT500. The prior owner never installed the Ford oil separator. I’ve always used JLT catch cans and love them for the simplicity and appearance. I have them on my 2009KR and my 2019 GT Coyote. Plus I like knowing how much oil is being collected but unlike you I don’t track my cars so there is no danger of them filling up. But your excellent video has convinced me to order a new JLT (now J&S) for my 2021. I’m an old school mechanic and after seeing your video I have a theory about why some oil passes through the Ford designed separator. Basically with the extra tube for drain back going back to the valve cover my belief is that as RPMs fluctuate, pressure changes occur inside the Ford unit due to the third (return) tube. By having only an inlet and outlet, the JLT can maintain the same pressure inside as the pressure or suction has no way to reverse although I am quite sure it rises and falls but never can go negative. I’m interested in your thoughts and even wonder if you were to place a tap on the line out to the intercooler for a pressure/vacuum gauge on the Ford built unit and with someone sitting in the car stepping on the throttle to vary the RPM, you might observe the condition firsthand. Thanks again for the video, Dennis

Idk that second catch can sounds like a great idea tbh

Thank you Tim. I already took Analyn for a hard run, with the new VMP intercooler. Thank you for making it happen. Would never have done it if I didn't follow your very important tips....

Great job on putting this information out there!! God bless!

Thanks for the informative video Tim!

Thanks. Very informative video as usual.

Very interesting. Thanks for the info on the secondary system. That was my knee jerk reaction and glad you checked into it.

Very interesting, solution, clean it up, live with it, hmmm

Excellent vid, Tim! Good to know. Though I’m not looking forward to removing that for preventative maintenance! 😂

Great Video Tim! I was about to swap out that factory one for a J&L Seperator. Think that stock one is ugly, and I'm about to swap to Carbon Fiber Coil covers, and the factory one covers the coil covers. LOL. I don't track my car like you, but do have fun on the street and drags. Think i'd be ok with a aftermarket oil seperator? Keep the great vids coming!

I'm going to make a secondary.

Top end lubrication, nice. Gasoline might be less offensive on that aluminum too.

Imagine how much it would accumulate, if u daily drive it. Great video.

Imagine how it would look without an oil separator 😮😮😮😮😮😮

I have the handling pack and tech pack on my 2020 and I got one.

I don’t know if my car was an anomaly, but my car is a 2020 with the handling package and mine has a factory oil separator. It 100% was not put on after market.

Hello Tim, where did you get the information as to which cars officially came with the oil catch can? Was that on a document from Ford?

So I have a 2020 gt500 handling pkg and mine did come with the oil separator. I have had the car since new of March 2020

So the fact that we still have to live with it will this be an issue down the line for the longevity of the cars ?
