Honest review of the J&L Oil Separator/Catch Can for the Ford F150 3.5 Ecoboost. Very happy with the quality and ease of installation. Has improved the overall performance of my truck. www.americantrucks.com/jlt-v3...

Installed one a few weeks ago for the first time. Checked it and just a sliver of oil. No need for an oil wrench to mark it up. Wait a couple hours to cool or use gloves(it does get hot) and it unscrews right off. Just have to remember to keep checking it. For the record, that's not normal in your can. Looks like the gas is getting into your oil. Probably should change the oil more frequently.

Thanks for the clear video quality. I just bought a 2017 F150 w/ 3.5L Ecoboost. It's got 109K miles and no catch can, hate to think what the valves look like. I've got the J&L 3.0 sitting in the back seat of my truck and the extension on backorder but I was having trouble figuring out how to mount the can. Other videos make it look like its bolted to the bottom of the battery tray and I couldn't figure out how they made it fit. Where you mounted your to the top lip of the tray, it looks like there wouldn't be room to close the hood. Must be the camera angle. Can't wait to get mine on but every time I start to do it, some family emergency seems to need attention.

I was puzzled as well when I received mine. It does fit under the hood without touching. This can has made a big difference for my first generation Ecoboost. I have to empty it often in the climate I live in. It’s a pretty quick install. I’d recommend an oil wrench for taking the can on and off. It’s sometimes alittle tight! Thanks for your feedback on the video

@Poor_ManTruck I'm in middle TN, winters sometimes get down to the mid teens but rarely colder. Summers get fairly hot but the humidity gets up to 80% or higher on a regular basis. I was just about to start the install two days ago: had the hood up, step stool in place, parts and tools sitting under the hood when I got an emergency call from my mom. Ambulance was taking her to the E.R.. Had to toss everything in the back of the truck, grab my Go Bags and drive an hour to her town's hospital. Thankfully, she's okay. Been staying with her since then. Think I'll try to install the separator today while it isn't raining. Thanks again for the video, it's the clearest images of how the bracket is mounted to the battery tray.

I’m sorry to hear about your mother. I’ll keep her in my prayers. If you need any assistance with anything feel free to reach out!

@Poor_ManTruck I appreciate that, she's feeling better since we got her back home. I put the can on today, a little frustrating getting the bracket bolted on with the tight work space involved but other than that, I'm happy I've got it installed. I'm curious to see how much crud it'll catch over time.

I just added one to my 2013 f150 5.0. My concern is that the Clearance is really close to the hood
