Where do u order the Gurney flap at ? Thanks

Welcome to the forum Cody! 🍻

I order all my parts that can be shipped from AutoNation Ford in White Bear Lake MN. They do cost +10%, which is usually the best price around.

Well, I had my order canceled by one dealer and then placed an order with Autonation WBL and they said back order date unknown. They’ll let me know something in about a month. Man, now I’m really kicking myself in the ass for not ordering the handling pack from the get go.

Not to worry, you can add the 3 pieces that make up the handling package after the fact (once parts are available). It’s not like the cars are different.

The Ford Performance oil separator is really maintenance free? That being said, where does all the leftover oil go? Sorry if it’s a dumb question.

I believe the FP oil separator is re-circulated back into the engine. The JLT (most popular) is emptied.

Gotcha! Thank you for your input.

Yes! The Ford separator is a “fire and forget missile.” The oil is separated and returned right back where it came from.

From what I’ve gathered, it drains back into the oil pan.

Thanks everyone for the reply’s! Can’t beat a maintenance free part 😁

Apparently the splitter wickers are now out of stock lol.

This is the case with many of the 2020 GT500 parts. I guess parts suppliers are doing all they can to supply the factory with parts for production. I’ve seen 2020 GT500s on Facebook sitting for months waiting for parts.

I just received an email that the ETA for my wickers order is 11/30....

 

[BrakeFade]

Well hell, just got a notification wickers were pushed back to 3/2 from Ford. Maybe I’ll see my set this year? Feel bad for the guys that got 2 left or 2 right wickers thrown in their trunk from the factory!

how much downforce to the splitter wickers account for? i know the gurney flap is 380 pounds and the wing is over 500 pounds at high speed. i was just curious how much force come from the fronts and if its really noticable or not if they are on or off

This has not been published anywhere that I have seen. I have only driven cars with them installed, so I cannot compare/contrast.

Does anyone know what if the factory oil separator puts the oil back into the crankcase that it would be illegal in California? My dealer wouldn't put it on because they said it was for racing only and not legal for street use in California. Does anyone know if this is BS or is there a reason. Not that California needs a reason for stupid laws...

I am two waiting for one left wicker that got two close to a curb. Been 4 months... Escalated to Ford CS but they are a joke..

I can't give you a definitive answer, but looking at the Ford Performance website, it certainly appears to be a certified component on a 2020 GT500

Ford lists the separator as “for track use only.” I’m not sure why, but this is the reason dealers are not compensated for the install and therefore why many of the dealers don’t install it. Just follow the steps on my PDI video and it will be easy/peasy.

Thanks Goose! I think I will put it on after she gets back from the shop later this week.
I’m not so sure doubt the smog inspection they will even question it since it looks and is factory Ford. I know here in CA they will fail you for a BT or JLT can.

On a side note my Hellcat BT can is about 3/4 full at oil change which I do mine at 2500 miles. So they do collect oil. I like the idea of putting it back where it belongs.

I agree. Plus Billy Johnson (GT500 track development driver) said that due to the g’s and power the 2020 makes, it can quickly fill-up/overwhelm the catch can style separators.
