What is this for?

I remember someone posting about this not too long ago but what exactly would I use this for? How would this benefit my car? Is this considered a bolt on product?

Are you familiar with internal combustion engines and the PCV systems they use?

If not you likely would not understand.
But if you do.. here goes.
Some people opt to use a breather instead of an oil vapor catch device in order to reduce oil going into the intake tract. Breathers allow a small amount of un-metered air to be ingested which can SLIGHTLY alter the a/f mixer to the lean side.
I use a pair of these instead, offered by the same manufacturer JLT.

They also have a newer product which is even better, the oil separator.

Would I need the passenger side oil separator if I was to do the drivers side?

Get two, one for each side.

So It's better to run 2 oil separators correct? Sweet here I come.

2 is probably over kill i would run 1 separator on the drivers side where the PCV is then you can run the pre-filter on the passenger side.

This is probably the best arraignment. :thumbsup:

Sorry, let me correct myself here. I bought two pre-filters one for each side. This was before JLT sold the full blown oil separator.

I am running the same set up and it works nice.

Having that prefilter won't cause af issues making it lean?

The prefilters retain the closed system so ...no.

The open filter(like in your first post) on the inlet side(passenger) does allow in a small amount of unmetered air... so in this case ...yes.
