Default Catch cans - I'm now a believer

UPR catch can installed on 2015 EB. Drained at 1200 miles. Only using passenger side connection due to driver side sensor, CEL issue. That's a lot of oily gas vapor that would have been sucked directly into intake.

Good results. Are you going to do a Blackstone analysis at your oil change?

How many miles on your truck? Any word on a dual valve for the 2.7l I'm not sure what you have.

Wasn't planning a black stone oil test.

I removed both sides today just to see if I had oil in the hose and I did not seem to have any. Does not been its not there or built up yet as I have less than 3K miles. I want to get something ASAP. I'm not sure if ford has done anything towards correcting this being that the 2.7 in new. I don't even think its correctable at this time without a catch can and ford is mum.

The RX or UPR cans should work with the 2.7 as well, especially if you're just using a single sided set up. On the 3.5 EB there's no sensors on the tube that runs from the PCV valve to the intake. Not sure about the 2.7. They me be holding the release of the complete dual valve set up for the 2.7 because of the driver side sensor (if the 2.7 has one)

There is no correction for this, unless you vent the crank case to the atmosphere. I have a Shelby 5.8 Super Charged, and do not use a catch can. I use very little oil between changes. I might invest in one of these some day for the Shelby but for the truck I don't think so. The little bit of oil going back into the engine does not hurt anything. I know people will say different, but this is my opinion on how it works out for me.

The RX Oil Separating System works just fine with the 2.7 or 3.5 EcoBoost. You can run the sensor in-line with the clean side separator or one of the lines running to the turbo inlets. You can also just utilize the passenger side turbo inlet for secondary vacuum and leave the factory configuration on the drivers side as is.
