I understand this is normal but does it hurt anything long term?

So far i have not ran into any gas in oil probelms, but i am keeping an eye on it i would love for ford to install a free Block heater hahah because of that new tsb. Longer trips for the betterment of the truck hell yeah an excuse to drive the truck over the kia sorento !! LMAO!

Nothing to worry about, when the dipstick looks like that is when you should be concerned.

If that is the case, then you will want to look at a catch can system, because this will make its way to the IC along with the rest of your air system!
The RX catch can by RevExtreme is the only one on the market at this point that is configured for the Ecoboost. It is designed to evacuate when not in boost, and while under boost.

It has only been out 5 or 6 weeks. The company itself is going through some growth, so a direct line of communication should get things answered for you?
