    Need to know the brand. I have the D.M.R. and I usually just empty it of the very little it holds each oil change. Seriously I take a sandwich bag and open the valve...its seriously only about 2 Cm's worth in the bag.

    Small pic but that looks like a L&S seperator. If the bottom hose goes right into your oil cap, then there is nothing to do but keep it on...no cleaning/empting needed.

    Im glad to hear that, i read somewhere in here that the l&s seperator is really recomended. It was already on there when i bought the truck last year. I dont see a bottom Hose but it is attached somehow to the oil cap. If i ever needed to get another one for any reason or for another truck where could i buy one?? Im from south tx

    Thumbs up

    That's a L&S oil separator. You got the best unit already. "Set it and forget it".

    No need to change it out but if you want to buy a new one, go here:

    On the wild chance you ever wanna replace the separator itself, the part is actually a Temprite 320 used in refrigeration equipment...can be bought froma local supplier for around $80.
