Title: 2010 Flex oil separator
Post by: 2010Limited on July 10, 2018, 08:28:30 AM
Can anyone get me the part # of the oil separator in the valve cover? I cleaned mine out with my turbo debacle but I want to replace it now.
TIA

My build date is Feb 2010.
I have a new PCV, just need the separator. So is that one from Levittown Ford the correct one for a heated PCV?

That should be it AFAIK! 
I would verify fitment with www.fordparts.com (http://www.fordparts.com) by entering your vin number!  Also you can Send me your Vin via Pm if you want to check fitment! I certainly dont want you to order the wrong part number.  Z  :)

I'm going to call the local dealer and check the price also. They'll want my win to verify. Lord knows they can't sell parts anymore without a vin

I got the new one and it came with a PCV valve but it's not the heated one - are you supposed to just leave it unplugged or should I use my heated one?
The parts guy confirmed the part # was correct from what was posted here.
Anyone run into this with the separator?

Its unfortunately quite common as parts are updated! But most importantly Does your original heated PCV Fit the oil Sep!! If so use the original one. Z

I'll find out tomorrow. I guess it sucks I had to "pay" for the PCV that came with the separator and I can't even use it

I think the original heated PCV will NOT FIT because its a bit Taller IIRC!

ZSHO was right. The heated and unheated PCV valves are different heights. Since I just replaced my heated PCV about 200 miles ago I put it into the new separator. It fits perfect.
I'm not sure why the new separator came with an unheated PCV when my application has it.
Either way it's all back.

And never mind my blood blisters! I'm a drummer and haven't played in a while so I got all kinds of blisters last week

Thanks for the confirmation and pics!  Did not even notice the blisters LOL.  Yeah hands get soft when you quit.  That's why I favor the SRV approach ;)
