The fifth generation Ford Mustang has definitely redefined the retro look that has dominated later domestic models. Behind the 2004 redesign at the North American International Auto Show, the S-197 platform evolved into the new DC2 platform.
But the looks aren’t the only thing to go under the knife from the Blue Oval, Ford also took to redesigning the powertrain with modular efficiency in mind. There were two variations of the engine platform, one the cast iron 4.0L SOHC V6 rated at 210hp, and the 4.6L V8 GT belted out a decent 315 hp while featuring a variable camshaft timing technology.
The Mustang engine has been revised for the 2011 calender year, introducing the Coyote, or Ford’s 32-valve 5.0 L engine that belted out 412hp and 390ft lbs of torque. Taking it to the next level was the Shelby GT500 with the 5.4L supercharged aluminum V8 rated at 550hp and 510ft-lbs of torque. And as if that wasn’t enough power, Ford again upped the ante to keep pace with their Chevy rivals by introducing the new Shelby GT500 with a 5.8liter supercharged V8 cranking out 662 hp.
So with all this power, it’s no wonder that PCV and positive crankcase pressure has become a problem for Ford Mustang enthusiasts. Enter the pros from Moroso who put their many years of racing Ford Mustangs and manufacturing parts by developing an Oil Air Separator specifically designed for the Mustang.
We’ve highlighted the performance bonuses and gains you can achieve by installing a Oil Air Separator, as shown in our WRX / STI highlight from Perrin. This Moroso unit shares similar traits such as the drainback valve and baffles incorporated to separate the oil from the air.

These two part numbers represent a new set of small-body air-oil separator kit for the 2011-14 Ford Mustang GT.
The small and lightweight Moroso Air & Oil Separator Tanks are designed to protect engines subject to high-performance and heavy-duty use. The tanks connect to the engine breather/PCV system to capture crankcase vapors and residual oil mist, while circulating clean breather air pressure back through the intake track.
We have seen considerable gains on our own Project Shelby, who is no slouch in the power department with 725 dyno proven supercharged horsepower.
We’ve seen considerably cleaner intake ports and snorkel, as well as cleaner aftercooler vacuum lines and less blowby. All this takes the Moroso Oil Air Separator as a vital piece to your Mustang’s performance life, as it helps keep the engine clean and free of contamination.
The results are a cleaner intake system and prevents oil from disrupting intake mixtures, which can lead to detonation and unwanted oil deposits. The kits come in anodized black or polished aluminum, and have an easy-open container for quick draining and cleaning.
Key features:
- Increases engine performance from cleaner intake air
- Billet aluminum bodies with internal baffling and mesh media
- Includes heavy duty brass inlet and outlet fittings, and mounting hardware
- Two-piece body unscrews easily for quick draining
- Available with a polished or black anodized finish
Perfect for any true performance enthusiast, the Moroso Oil Air Separator is a one stop true solution to the crankcase issues your Ford may be experiencing. Have any questions? Give our ASE certified technicians a call today!
