Pat, the 100,000 mile 2.7's owner, wouldn't know what a catch can was.
If somebody wants to run a catch can, fine by me. Somewhere down the road they may prove to be right.
That's the problem, no long term testing on catch cans! However, there are millions and millions of direct injection forced induction vehicles that have run millions of miles with no problem! Water vapor which is the main combustion by-product actually has a cleansing effect on intake valves, and combustion chambers.

I have a friend at church that delivers after hours and emergency parts for Motion Industries. Pat gets the call when some large plant or factory needs a part and they need it ASAP. Anywhere in the Southeast. Last year on 6-1-16 Pat traded his extended cab GM pickup on a new 2.7 EB F150 XL Super Crew. 3.31 gear. Today on a trip to Midland City Alabama he rolled over 100,000 miles. Oil changes and air filters have changed, nothing else. OEM plugs still on duty and doing fine. He never turns the stop/start off. Factory Michelins look ready for another 100,000 miles.
Ive got over 50K on my 2016 F150 and its been doing wonderful. Change the oil, air filter, drain the catch can and keep on trucking. Ill probably do spark plugs at 60 just because, i know ford isnt very good about consistent gapping on original spark plugs. Good to see he is having a positive experience.
What month was your build? Asking since curious on vehicles that have higher than normal miles within the oil consumption TSB

I'll have to look up the build date on mine, however I do not have any oil consumption issues, I'll loose less than half a quart in an oil change (5000 miles) and probably half of that ends up in the catch can. How do I go about finding the build date?
EDIT: Build Date 23.02.2016

I'm curious, why did you REPOST all of this at post #63? (was the same as your FIRST post).....
Something is just NOT QUITE RIGHT about this thread.

Maybe to bring it back on topic.
So, 100,000 miles in a year is not unusual, millions of OTR drivers do it every year. (Yes, millions)
How many miles do OTR drivers drive a week?
The average truck driver is expected to travel between 2,000 and 3,000 miles per week, based on the 70 hour maximum hour restriction over eight days.
The average small business semi truck driver can cover over 125,000 miles per year. That is more than 3 million miles over the average trucker’s career.
in all seriousness, I went to a dealer the other day looking at the 5.0 because I'm talking myself into "the 2.7 won't last as long as a NA V8"
Am I crazy? I want my 2.7 to last for 200k if possible
I would be surprised if there was a new car out there that wouldn't provide 200k life without issue. Sure there are bad apples, but as a whole I think any of these engines will do what you want.
