Checked mine yesterday after only having it on the car for a week. Already had some water and oil in the catch can. I'm glad that crap isn't going back into the intake anymore.

Wow
I am surprised what it caught. I put mine on with 25 miles on the clock. I checked it and I am just shy of 500 miles now. Here what was inside. I have taken it up to about 6k a couple times but mostly going back and fourth between 5th and 6th while cruising down the highway.
I think I will be safe not getting the drivers side. I don't normally use the engine to break my speed from high RPMs.
Thanks Jay

I've had mine for over a month now, and have been checking/cleaning it once a week or so (I tend to put 300-400 miles on it a week).
This has completely cleared up the light puff of smoke I was getting on high RPM shifts ever since deleting the cats. Great product; build quality is absolutely top notch, and installation could only be made easier by including Jay in the box to plug it in for you!

I am a big proponent of preventive maintainence. I even waste all kinds of money changing synthetic oil at 3000 miles, ect.
But I have to wonder about this one... if the blow by is such a detriment to the motor, why wouldn't Ford have made a provision for this?
I'm thinking about ordering one...I'm just not convinced that the blow by presents a threat to engine health.

Another reason Ford probably did not include a stock oil separator is that the can will fill up at some point and most non-enthusiasts will never even open the engine bay. The oil catch can will fill up, and may even fill up before an oil change is required depending on driving habits. It's not exactly geared towards most owners that have their vehicles serviced by dealers/shops.
Finally, the reason most (all?) people here recommend installing one is because we're enthusiasts. We generally like our cars

Number one reason is maybe a little oil in the top end of a motor is a good thing!!!, it's not enough to hurt performance, actually I bet it helps ring wear.ford knows what there doing.,, ever heard of a two stroke?
