Good luck. What if it's only catching a fraction of what's being pulled from the crank case? You'll still get coked valves.

A bore scope might be a good value for you.

If I was overly worried about it, sure I'd do a borescope, get an oil analysis, pull the intake, rotate the tires, change the muffler bearings and do all kinds of follow-up investigation to make sure I hadn't wasted....139 bucks.

At that price however, if all it ever does is capture 2-3oz of stuff every 700-800 miles or so as it has been, that's good enough for me and probably better than nothing. The vid was simply to show my results to anyone else who has or is considering one. I have no regrets and no need to further validate my purchase decision. It was birthday money from my mama in law so why not? It's certainly not hurting anything.

Yep, it's your money.

I think that "true cold air" on the web link caught my eye and kind of set me off. Anything that says "cold air" kind of says scam to me. Good luck with it.

How’s it working out?

just ordered the one from Ford Racing.

I started thinking it may not be needed or do much since I burn zero oil.

Just started running the 5 Star 93 tune so tome will tell.

I was a a bit of skeptic to the whole catch can idea. Like the OP, for the price I bought the JLT 3.0 single side catch can. I am no expert, but based on what I just dumped out of the can it is worth its money. Will it stop the accumulation on the valves, I have no idea. Hell I don't know if it will even slow the process. All I do know is, I am glad I am pouring that out instead of it going through the motor. This is on a 19' 2.7 eco.
