you Guys are comparing to A 662 horsepower 5.8L V8 that’s supercharged. I’m sure the eco has a tad less stress and crap to collect. I would think the passenger side would suffice. There’s lots of guys who run absolutely nothing.

That's not necessarily true and more speculation based on the greater shock and awe with the larger horsepower number of the '13-'14 GT500. If stress becomes the factor we consider that results in vapor (oil, water etc.) then the more important factor to consider would be horsepower and torque per liter of which both are relatively close.
Mustang GT500 (5.8L Supercharged V8 w/ 662 HP, 631 lb-ft Torque):
- 114.14 HP/Liter
- 108.8 lb-ft/Liter
- 104.29 HP/Liter
- 120 lb-ft/Liter
A blanket statement indicating that the GT500 would produce more vapor than the Expedition is simply inaccurate due to the number of variables that come into play including compression ratio, boost pressure, driving style, intercooler design and even the oil being used (this is where the NOACK Volatility would play a significant factor).
You are absolutely correct though. Many individuals do not run any oil separator. The jury is still out on whether or not oil separators improve the lifespan of an engine. However, if you want the cleanest intake system, a single is better than nothing and a dual is better than a single.
I have a Moroso single catch can on my CTSV simply because it’s a high performance / high valued car that I want running in tip top shape. Catch cans serve a purpose. I doubt I’ll put one on my Expedition simply because I won’t own it long enough for carbon buildup to become an issue while I’m the owner

me either, i had one on my f350s .
but this expy will most likely be gone for a 2019 model.
Actually, my ecoboost collects much more than my GT500. But due to boost most likely. The ecoboost is always in boost, the GT500 not so much unless it's go time.

I changed the oil at 2,000 miles as I wanted to get rid of any break in material. The oil coming out was black.
I drained my JLT oil separator and was amazed at how much oil was collected in 2,000 miles. There was close to 2 ounces of oil in the metal container. I am glad that was not spread throughout my intake manifold!

I did an oil change at 1000 miles and had Blackstone labs test a sample of the oil. I had the dealership switch me to full synthetic oil. My next oil change is at 6000 miles. I'm about 400 miles away at this point.
If I remember my oil was pretty dark at 1000 miles. I'm not sure if that was because it was semi-synthetic or from the break-in residue.
It was most likely due to break in..... man you barely drive your truck
. What’s the weight recommendation on the 3.5? I was talking to a guy with a new F150 and said he uses 10W-30, i thought it was supposed to be winter 5

I've had it since February 20th and I have 5400+ miles on it. Most of that is from two trips back to PA about 2900 miles.It was most likely due to break in..... man you barely drive your truck
Recommended motor oil (U.S.):
Motorcraft® SAE 5W-30 Premium Synthetic Blend Motor Oil XO-5W30-QSP
Spec: WSS-M2C946-A
I was suggesting he was incorrect too but i didn’t want to be rude....
