Oil separator
I noticed on a thread on here that one guy's car came from the factory with an oil separator. Is this correct, or is it something he had the dealer install upon delivery? My dealer never said anything about it, and I never noticed any kit in the trunk. So, do they come with an oil separator, or is that something we put on aftermarket?

Should have come with the car. Dealer isn't supposed to install it for street use. Supposed to be for track use only. If they lost it or didn't put it with the car then they should have to order you one. Might want to check the truck for it. I know the front splitter ships loose inside the car and the dealer has to install that and they are supposed to give you the separator and the install instructions with it.

My dealer didn't read the instructions, and installed mine anyway. I've kept it on since new. They then kept my original oil cap and vent line. I had to go back and demand the parts back. Tara

Okay what does it do?
What does this oil separator accomplish. Don't say separates oil, LOL.

Is it possible that the dealer did install it and OP does not realize it because he, much like Tara did not get the original equipment with the car?

Ok, silly me; I found it in a box in the trunk that I somehow didn't notice before. I'll probably never be tracking my car; should I go ahead and put it on for regular street driving, and if so, how often do you have to drain it?

i myself went with a dual valve catchcan from rev extreme and vented both driver and passenger side of the crank by adding a tee into the inlet line i continuously get a couple teaspoons of oil every time i check it every thousand or so which if not for the catchcan would end up being re ingested into my intake manifold

Put the factory one on and get an after market one either rx or elite and poor it on the other side. The factory one doesn't need draining the after market one will. They actually clean different sides.
