All Ecoboosts need 2. Or in my case 0.
Just added the JLT catch can to my 2018.

I need one for my T350 3.5EB, but the JLT one only specifies 150/250. I wonder why it wouldn't work for a 350. I didn't think there was any difference in the 3.5EB engines used in the 250s and the 350s.
Also ask to update website to include 2018's.It should mount the same. I’ll ask them to change it to include.

Thanks.
anyone have an install the diesel version? have a 2015 diesel and want to install a catch can still trying to figure out where to tie it in. after pcv valve and before the intakeI have installed and used oil catch cans on several vehicles w great results. Mainly for boosted engines, but work well for the NA motors I’ve had too.
I know there are naysayers and some even can make up how it’s bad. #rollingeyes
On my Mustangs that I have tracked even Ford makes a catch can kit for them...so if bad, why would a manufacturer offer them?
Only reason not having one factory installed is need of extra maintenance. Depending on motor and use the can needs to be dumped anywhere from 2000 miles to 7500 miles.
Most of my cars and trucks I’ve been able to just dump at the oil change.
I’ve installed one on my ecoBoost Transit and in only 1000 miles (993 miles to be exact) I had one full ounce of oil in it.
My biggest thing is this is one ounce of oil I keep from building up on the back of my van.
Here is a link to the one I purchased.

I have used this company for many years and they stand behind all their products and all made in the USA
...bring on the naysayers. LOL

The 3.7l engine does not build up the same kind of crankcase pressure as the ecoboost, so it is more important on the ecoboost. (And diesel as it is also turbocharged)Are these catch Can units only for ecoboost 3.5 engineers? Would the 3.7 benefit from one do you guys know?
The 3.7 is a port injected engine and does not require any catch can. There is generally only an issue with DI engines needing a catch can.Are these catch Can units only for ecoboost 3.5 engineers? Would the 3.7 benefit from one do you guys know?
Should there also be one on the driver side?
I also have Orton’s question. What is the reason for the passenger side needing one and the driver side not needing one? Does the PCV valve only empty into the passenger-side intake? Does anyone have scientific evidence that using a catch can actually reduces the carbon buildup on the intake valves?There could be, but in my experience with my cars and trucks with them, the passenger side really catches the bulk.
On my EcoBoost and on my naturally aspirated vehicles.
So far only one person reported a problem and it is unclear if there was a problem from Carbon buildup.I also have Orton’s question.

Thanks!
That's what I'm hoping for - most of the oil to drip into the catch can and not go back into the engine.That Brillo like metal shaving filter looks like the inside of a industrial diesel engine Breather Filter, Which causes most of the oil to drip back into the Valve Cover and into the Crankcase.
