I'm finally back in an F150. My (new to me) 2017 has a 2.7 Eco in it. I'm starting by doing the right things, including full synthetic oil changes. I'd like to bounce the following questions off a few of you more experienced Eco owners.

1) Heard a few good and bad things about the fuel injection on these. Like valves getting gunked up if you don't use a fuel additive often. Any suggestions on that additive, or should I just stick with the tried-and-true SeaFoam?

2) I've also heard to alleviate some of this issue is to run a catch can on the right side of the engine. Any truth to this? If this is a good thing to do, which model is best? Also, will that affect emissions?

Thanks in advance for your answers,

Tim

 

Welcome back, enjoy your new ride.

 

Ford specifically states NOT to use additives.

I'm picking up a little sarcasm. Let me guess, another one of those "if you're not posting 20 times a day, you shouldn't be on here"....

I was out of a truck for 8 years. Was I supposed to be on here entertaining you?
