DESCRIPTION
Product Overview
- Modern Ford EcoBoost V6s (2.7L & 3.5L) and 5.0L Coyote V8s generate significant crankcase blow-by that feeds fine oil mist directly back through the factory PCV valve. Because direct-injection engines lack fuel spray to clean the intake valves, this recirculated oil vapor bakes onto valve stems, coats intercooler walls, and causes airflow-robbing carbon buildup over time.
- Engineered to trap contaminants before they enter your engine, this Billet Oil Catch Can Kit utilizes a multi-stage stainless steel filtration filter and precision aluminum baffles. By separating oil mist and condensation out of the air charge, it keeps your intake valves pristine, protects intercooler efficiency, and preserves optimal turbo performance.
Key Features
- Capture oil vapor and moisture from PCV blow-by before it reaches intake valves, intercooler surfaces, and turbocharger inlets
- Rely on TIG-welded billet aluminum construction to withstand high engine-bay temperatures without warping or fatigue cracking
- Separate contaminants efficiently through a multi-stage stainless steel filtration core combined with an internal aluminum baffle chamber
- Drain collected oil and moisture in seconds by unscrewing the threaded lower reservoir — no tools, no disassembly, no mess
- Maintain long-term airflow efficiency across the entire intake system, from turbo inlets through intercooler plumbing to combustion chambers
FAQ
Q: Why is an oil catch can especially important for EcoBoost engines?
A: EcoBoost engines are both turbocharged and direct-injected. Turbochargers pressurize the crankcase, increasing blow-by volume, while direct injection means no fuel spray washes the intake valves clean. Oil vapor that reaches the intake tract settles and bakes into hard carbon deposits that progressively restrict airflow. A catch can captures that vapor upstream, before it can cause damage.
Q: Will installing this separator affect my truck’s boost pressure or factory tune?
A: Not at all. The catch can sits in the PCV circuit and does not interact with boost control, fuel mapping, or any engine calibration parameter. It simply filters the crankcase vapor stream — your truck runs exactly as it did before, just with cleaner intake air.
Q: Does this catch can help protect EcoBoost turbochargers and intercoolers over the long term?
A: Yes. By capturing oil vapor before it reaches the turbocharger compressor inlet, the catch can prevents residue from accumulating on compressor wheels, intercooler tube walls, and intake valve surfaces. This helps maintain turbo efficiency, intercooler heat transfer, and consistent airflow across the entire intake system mile after mile.
Q: What happens if I forget to drain the reservoir for an extended period?
A: As the reservoir fills beyond its designed capacity, separation efficiency begins to decline and captured oil may start passing through to the intake. A quick visual inspection of the reservoir level every few fuel stops keeps it operating at peak effectiveness — the threaded base makes draining a 30-second task with zero tools.
