Oil catch can...

Well, late last summer I was fortunate enough to purchase a new 2020 F150 with a 2.7litre Ecoboost engine. About a month ago I took it down to see Dr’s ZR and Zippy for an oil change(its second one at 10000km) and some light mods, one of them being the installation of a JLT oil catch can:

Fast forward to today. The truck is now at 11000 and some km and I took the time to check the oil and the catch can. The oil looks great, but I found this in the can:

Not so much oil, but whatever it is I’m glad it’s not going back into the intake.

Which is why I have one on my wife’s Accord. Has a DI engine.

I have a Moroso catch can, on my Magnum RT.

I am amazed of what comes out of it!

Will be installing the same 1 on my GT, when it comes out of storage this year.

Money well spent.

It will be interesting to see after the next oil change to see if the 10w30 makes the difference or not.

Had a catch can on my CTS. After switching to 10W/30 there was no point. Took it back off.

Are catch cans necessary on stock N/A motors?

I had one on my 2011 Coyote, it would collect a fair amount of oil but after I went to 10w30 it would collect all of about a tablespoon in between oil changes. I'm on the fence for the 2021 I just picked up... Is the extra insurance worth it? on a side note all the literature says 5w20 oil for the GT, oddly enough my oil filler cap says 5w30.... maybe a parts shortage? lets use the ones for the Ecoboost? Regardless I'll be going to 10w30 as I have always done, can't tell enough people about this, unfortunately not everyone believes.
