J&L 3.0 Oil Separator Driver Side (3055D) - 2020-2024 Ford Explorer 2.3L EcoBoost
Protect your Ford Explorer's turbocharged EcoBoost engine from harmful oil contamination with the J&L 3.0 Oil Separator. Designed specifically for 2020-2024 Ford Explorer models equipped with the 2.3L EcoBoost engine, this driver-side oil separator captures oil vapors before they enter the intake system, helping maintain engine performance, fuel quality, and long-term reliability.
During normal engine operation, crankcase vapors containing oil are routed back into the intake tract through the PCV system. Over time, these vapors can coat intake components, intercoolers, intake valves, and manifold runners while potentially lowering fuel octane. This issue is common on all engines but is especially prevalent on turbocharged applications where increased crankcase pressure creates more oil vapor contamination.
The J&L 3.0 Oil Separator is CNC-machined from solid billet aluminum and utilizes a highly effective dual-stage filtration system. A fine stainless steel mesh screen captures oil vapors, while a 1/2-inch thick aluminum honeycomb filter further condenses contaminants before they can enter the intake stream. The result is cleaner intake air, improved engine cleanliness, and long-term protection for critical engine components.

How It Works
Oil vapors pass through a fine stainless steel mesh screen that captures suspended contaminants. The remaining vapors then travel through a thick aluminum honeycomb filter where droplets combine and become too heavy to continue through the PCV system. The captured oil collects in the reservoir for easy draining during routine maintenance.
Optional Upgrade
This application is compatible with the J&L Reservoir Extension, increasing total fluid capacity from 3 ounces to 6 ounces for extended service intervals.
Service Recommendations
- Drain the separator every 2,000-3,000 miles.
- The 3-ounce reservoir provides ample capacity for normal driving conditions.
- Service intervals may vary based on driving habits and operating conditions.
