Default Catch Can install for 2015 install?

So, Ive been reading up on this. My truck has about 6000 miles on it (3.5)

Are the catch cans really necessary for the 2015 model or did ford figure this out? EVerything I search for the biggest problems seem to come from previous generations especially the 2011.

Note: I am in a VERY dry climate. El Paso Texas. We average 4" of rain annually.

I put one on because I wanted to cut down on the possibility of the buildup on the intake valves.

I would be interested in this as well. Adding one to my 94 Bronco. After popping off the valve covers, my eyes popped out

Any install directions or videos? I just got mine and it it not like the cans in any of the previous install video. Also my fan shroud has a hole that is not being used where it is supposed to mount but I don't see how the bolt mounting supplied Is supposed to fit.

Ive had trouble finding good installs on the 2015. If I do it, It would need to be No drilling required as I dont want to go poking holes in a $60k truck.

I have had one for about 6,000 miles. When draining I get good looking oil, no water. Seems they fixed the water ingestion but every 1,000 miles I get enough oil that I am happy it is not getting to intake valve to build up. The build up my never hurt engine but has to hurt performance. One man's(ME) opinion.

Which brand did you install? I'm wanting something completely reversible. Leaning towards UPR.
