DO NOT USE THAT!! You need to get a quality dual valve catch can. I installed ...
(UPR)UPR 17-19 F150 ECOBOOST PLUG N PLAY DUAL VALVE CATCH CAN PRO-SERIESÏ¿½

I also paid up for the pre drilled pipe.

T Here are other brands but you need to pay up for a dual valve catch can. Do your research into dual valve and single valve to educate yourself but basically you won't be catching oil when your in the turbos...which is when you want it most.

Catch cans are worth it....period. At a minimum you will preserve the octane of the fuel and at most you will significantly increase engine life/reliability. Don't listen to the fools that hate on catch cans saying they never used one and haven't noticed any issues. The truth is that you WON'T "notice" if you DON'T use one BUT....reduced octane isn't noticeable because you don't have an onboard dyno to constantly compare with/without. You are guaranteed to catch oil if installed properly. ALL..and I mean ALL internal combustion gas engines produce blow-by...especially in turbocharged engines... which is mostly oil. You can't question weather ingesting oil.....no matter how minute...is a good thing. Without EPA rules engine makers wouldn't do it because they know that feeding oil laced air into an engine IS NOT optimal.

Highly recommend getting a catch can whether it be JLT (what I’ve got) or another brand. Just changed my oil (Amsoil Signature 5w-30 with K&N filter HP-2011) just less than 5,000 miles since last oil change. Had about 2-3 tablespoons of oil in it. Also installed colder Motorcraft SP-542 spark plugs. I’ve not driven it yet but, at idle in my garage it seems to idle smoother and throttle response seems quicker. ‍♂️

Both are quality products. With the Mishimoto you get a can for the driver (clean) side. Some say that side isn’t necessary since the blow by is minimal. I’ve got the JLT so no driver side can. I’m not concerned about it since these trucks have port fuel injectors to clean the valves. I’ll be curious to see reviews/results on the mishimoto. If you get it please report your results.

I’m trying to hold out until some reviews for the Mishimoto come out.


with the JLT being $250 cheaper it’s hard to consider the Mishimoto since the JLt has great reviews.

Think the benefits the mishmoto has over JLT is a higher capacity can and the driver side can.

Pay attention to the lack of a dual valve on the JLT. IT MATTERS!!! It's silly to do it half way. The can won't catch anything when under boost if you aren't using a dual valve can. Do some research into it if you don't believe me.
