Dorman - HD Solutions Engine Oil Separator P/N:996-1004
Swap out only the worn crankcase breather element instead of the whole assembly with the Dorman - HD Solutions Oil Separator 996-1005. Dorman lists it as a crankcase breather repair kit, and it is designed to filter blow-by gases in the crankcase ventilation system. It fits many Volvo and Mack trucks, among them the 2007-2022 Volvo VNL, 2018-2022 Volvo VNR and 2007-2018 Volvo VNM with the 10.8L, 12.1L, 12.8L, 14.9L or 8.9L engine, and is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for every model and engine.
Dorman designed this engine oil separator to match the fit, function and performance of the original separator. Many dealerships sell the separator only as part of a complete assembly that includes the lower housing. If the housing isn't the failure point, replacing just the failed element can save on part cost and installation time.
The separator can fail on its own. It can clog or crack, or a separator bearing can wear with age. Signs this part may need replacing include noise and vibration, or excessive oil mist from the gas outlet. Diagnose the cause before replacing parts. For a tight, effective connection, clean the sealing surfaces on the lower housing where the seals seat before you install the new separator.

What does this oil separator do?
It is the crankcase breather element. It filters blow-by gases in the crankcase ventilation system and helps reduce the oil mist and contaminants that leave through the gas outlet.
Can I use this as a 2007-2022 Volvo VNL oil separator replacement?
Yes. It is listed for the 2007-2022 Volvo VNL, the 2018-2022 Volvo VNR and the 2007-2018 Volvo VNM with the 10.8L, 12.1L, 12.8L, 14.9L or 8.9L engine. Check your truck and engine in the Buyer's Guide tab.
