Installed oil catch can Day 1 of delivery...1500 miles later...

[mhaynes772]

So, I installed an oil catch can on my truck the day I took delivery. Im going to change the oil soon but wanted to see if the catch can had anything in it. Here's a pic I took from draining it into a 28 FL OZ gatorade bottle.

How aggressively do you use the throttle?

The weep hole addresses an entirely different problem. The catch can removes oil vapor pre-intercooler. The weep hole removes condensate produced in the intercooler and prevents it from blowing out spark. Each addresses entirely different issues on the ecoboost.

Pretty aggressive. I'm a believer of break it in like you drive it ha. I did have a 500 mile drive home on the interstate when I picked it up, so that was all interstate speed and consistent RPM's. But now that I'm home, its city driving. And I've taken a lot of friend for rides, and I drive it pretty aggressively then too.

Thanks for sharing. Been waiting for others to post to see if I should consider installing one of these

Right on. I asked because, as I'm sure you're aware, the harder you drive 'em, the more likely you are to get excessive crankcase pressure pushing oil mist through the PCV system.

In all honesty, this is something that is likely to improve as the rings seat, etc...

thats really not bad at all for 1500 miles of aggressive driving. you can totally just empty it every oil change.

what catch can did you install ?
pic's sideways and upside down are due to iphone or droid camera "live" function. you either have to disable live function or edit the photo in camera hit copy and it disables live mode

I got this one from Stage 3 Motorspors

2017 F150 & Raptor 3.5L EcoBoost UPR Dual-Valve Oil Catch Can 5030-221

And I have Live Photos disabled already and it still does that.

I wouldn't want that stuff mucking up the intake valves in a primarily direct injected engine.

Cheap insurance to run the catch can(s).
