Does Your F150 Need a Catch Can? - Ford F150 Oil Separators Tested And Explained

Рет қаралды 805,770

In this episode of What's Up With That, Justin shows you why you need an oil separator/catch can for your Ford F150. An oil separator catches and collects the oily vapor produced in combustion before re-routing into your intake tract - essentially helping keep your truck performing at peak performance.

People are not spending thousands of dollars on maintenance because they don’t have a catch can. The number of cars that have had an aftermarket catch can installed on them is so small that it is statistically insignificant.

@@ramecodiesel8271 I went into this thinking I should get a catch can and came away thinking it's a bad design. What happens when someone buys the vehicle without knowing it's installed or needs maintenance? Eventually it's going to overflow and start puking crankcase oil into the intake manifold or clogging up the PCV. Use a centrifugal collector like you find on a Dyson instead of that screen, let the oil drip from there into small trap. At the bottom of the trap have a diaphragm that is operated by either a bimetallic (thermostat) strip or possibly intake manifold vacuum/pressure. When the engine is hot/running the diaphragm is closed. When the engine is cold, the diaphragm relaxes and lets the collected oil drip back down into the crankcase via the dip tube. Should be close to zero maintenance.

I replaced my intercooler yesterday on my 2015 3.5EB and probably drained 1-2 tablespoons of oil from it and maybe another 1/2 a tablespoon of oil from the pipes and couplers. I was expecting maybe a drop or two but there was just way more than I thought there would be. The truck has roughly 48,000 miles on it and runs perfectly fine with zero issues. I ordered this catch can this morning.

The nice thing with 2015 and newer Ecoboost engines is that they have both direct injectors and port injectors, so the risk of valve coking isn't as big but blow-by can still be produced (as you saw!). Adding a catch can will definitely be a nice addition! -Zach

I have a 2013 F-150 w/ 3.5 Ecoboost engine. I installed a UPR oil catch can (large one) that picks up both the driver and passenger side PCV and after several hundred miles I can drain nasty gunk, about 12 oz (into a 16 oz water bottle) that would otherwise be rerouted back to the manifold. I read about these both in F-150 forums and here on U-Tube otherwise I wouldn’t have known about this situation. I installed it around 70K miles and I have almost 120K now. This one isn’t cheap but it’s sturdy, looks good and the hoses are top notch.

For Turbo apps the 3 line can is better as there is no vacuum under boost to keep it flowing but the turbos will pull a vacuum in the air feed ducts when spooled to maintain a constant draw or flow in the catch can. I run an RX can in my 2014 F150 3.5 Ecoboost.

When tearing down my 4.3L Vortec for a rebuild in '04, I noticed quite a bit of gunky oil residue on the inside of the intake manifold and throttle body. After a bit of internet searching, I found out about catch cans and installed one on the new engine and what a difference. I have zero oily build-up in my intake manifold or throttle body after more than 50K miles and I saw about a mile or two MPG increase. Wouldn't drive a modern car w/o one, as they are cheap insurance for your engines longevity, by extracting all of the oil, fuel & water vapors that acidify (and ruin) your motor oil, hence the main reason for needing to change your oil. Less frequent oil changes means money in the bank. That's a win, win in my book.

There are 'many' different catch-can's on the market, and I was hoping that a few would have been tested, and which would have been the most efficient, at catching the most 'gunk'! Nonetheless, this is a mod I will need to do to my 3.5L Ecoboost, yet now that the truck is at 125K miles, my intercooler tubes I'm sure have a fair bit of oil in them after seeing this video! This looks to be the most simple design I've seen, as some are much more robust systems, with a larger catch-can, as well as some even with vacuum to help suck the oil, so none get's by at all. Thanks for the video, as it gets those of us that haven't had this done, to get our butts busy, and think about which to purchase!

I installed a catch can on my 2020 F150 5.0 when the truck had barely a few hundred miles on it. I just drained it today at about 5,100 miles. These things definitely work. I wouldn't consider the amount of oil I drained out of it excessive, but I'm definitely glad it didn't make its way into the intake manifold. I'm using the one from Ford Performance with a fabricated bracket and tubing setup, but I'm sure most of the products on the market would do the job. Definitely a good investment as I plan on owning my truck for quite a while, and definitely want to keep it well maintained.

@cmscms123456 Жыл бұрын

Just plug the intake port and route the rubber hose to the back of the motor, pointing down. add one of those small filters if you want. You're just trying to equalize the pressure between the bottom of the crankcase and atmosphere. You might get a few drops of oil per year. Pulling a vacuum on the bottom end of your motor, you're going to pull a lot more oil up, and into the intake. This is really the beginnings of pollution control control devices. From the 1950's to the mid 1960's a 'down draft' tube was the only thing used. thats all you need now. If you take your car to the dealer for any kind of service, put the tube back to the intake, or they will void your warranty for tampering with the pollution control devices. OBD2 can't tell what you've done, so no problem there.

But ill bet if I have an issue and its on there they will try not to pay some how. My truck only has 55,000 miles on it now. The warranty is good until 150,000 miles.

With dual injectors or port injectors these may or may not be needed but gear heads know what they want and like. My 2018 5.0 has a separator made and sold by Ford Performance for a Mustang. (Off road application only) I have a You Tube showing its installation ( listed under James Tone). There is oil in it every time I check. 18k miles and was put on the first week. My 2015 Honda Civic has a Moroso installed. They are illegal since you are altering an emissions controlled device. I remove mine to have a he dealer servicing, takes about 5 minutes tops. I believe every engine but especially Supercharged need one of these devices

They are only illegal in CARB approved states that do emissions inspection. If your town doesn’t do emissions inspections, then your fine. But if you are then, might keep the stock hose just in case.
