I will say this (with no intentions of bashing vendors products, just observation) with aftermarket CAI installed I noticed a lot on the inside of the CAI tube and throttle blades.. Also there was the same oily sludge in my canister purge valve that failed. (just being curious i cut it apart to see how it works and if I could modify it to prevent clogging so easily, more on this later)
What I am suspecting is happening is the blow by is getting into the line that is attached to canister purge valve. I am all for something like this, to keep the crap out of the intake..

Also I personally do not think Ford has ever sorted out PCV system (think mustangs, lightnings all had issues with oil consumption/blow by issues)

Also, you can have significant blow by in N/A engines.. Anytime you are in the upper RPM band, there is blow by. And our trucks with offroad mode on staying in 4000rpm and up range for long durations.. You better believe there is blow by and oil getting into the intake track.

Here is the best solution for fords crappy pvc system..

Watch video... It is a 2013 mustang with 600+ miles on it with this system and they have collected a good amount of oil..

Yep...There it is....I have drained mine a few times in I don't no how many miles...I never let it get into the sight tube. I just have a valve on the bottom...
I found a pic.

I used clear vinyl on the inlet side back to the intake so I could see if I had oil tracking...None found...

Ill probably put one on my truck(likely the cheapo setup that's coming off of my car).

I don't expect it to catch a lot in the truck, I'd just rather not have the vapor gunk up the intake and throttle body.

Haha, I just saw wiz's post, its probably the same mishimoto can that's on my car. I put a screen on the out port and have wire mesh inside the can to give the oil more stuff to hit to seperate it from the air better. Otherwise just an 'open' can isn't the most effective.

This is actually a common issue that I believe leads the manufacturers in general to establish what they refer to as the "acceptable oil consumption" over *** miles. With the PCV system rerouting oil vapors back through the intake, you are effectively burning good oil that could go into a catch can. Greg, when you contact them about making one for the Raptor, you may mention having them attempt to design a kit that automatically feeds the oil back to the crank case to eliminate the need for emptying the catch can. There are kits like that for a good number of diesels, notably the Jeep Liberty diesels which are widely known for having major issues with ruining the PCV systems as well as causing major oil leaks from the intake tubes etc.

It's all guesswork until one of those catch cans is installed in a naturally aspirated Raptor and is driven representatively over 500 or 1000 miles. No installation photos, no results from real world driving? Then hasn't happened and there's nothing to talk about but guesses.

I know that in my heavily boosted car it puts a lot of stuff into the catch can. And that any amount of oil that goes into the intake is less than ideal for the raptor.

Somebody please take up JLT on their offer!

Greg if nobody bites, can we post up a new thread just asking for any raptor owners in that area? They may not all be reading this thread. JLT's system is SO nice on the mustangs. There's no rubber hoses draped around snaking through the engine bay. They install their separator in the hard PCV lines with crimp collars onto the fittings so the tank is self suspended by the OEM hard PCV lines, and the kits come with the new lines all done so you don't need to cut your stock ones. Before anyone buys a moroso or any other brand, just watch the install videos on JLT's site for their 5.0 oil separators, you'll be impressed at how nice and clean of a setup it is.

I'd be down for a JLT setup for my 6.2!
