That one has water in it, and makes sense based on the temps. Still a lot for the time/miles, but if you idle a lot, that makes it make a bit more sense.Pulled the can off today to inspect since I last did it 12/23.

Definitely some milky look in there now. Our weather has been consistent 30/40s overnight with highs in the 70s. I idle A LOT.
I didn’t measure this batch but it looked to be about 25-30mL. I also just last Thursday has a misfire while merging on the freeway, and again today while merging on the freeway, this one leaving the light on. So I need to have to code pulled to see what cylinder misfired. My plugs are just the crappy motocraft, but they are less than 15k old.
Checked the oil dipstick, shows my exactly in the middle of the max/min.
Did you set the gap on the Motorcraft plugs before you installed them? In theory they are pregapped from Ford, but in my experince 1 in 6 is right.
I don’t believe it is needed for the V8. I believe it is related to the turbo and ecoboost.
I really doubt that it'll increase mpg, but it would help with the smokey startup after a short run, like after moving the car in the driveway.I have run across (on a different forum) talk of catch cans for the 5.4 V8. Has anyone here done that?
The idea seemed to be removing oil from the PCV which made for a cleaner intake manifold. There was even talk of improved MPG.
Did you put the sludge in a glass and let it settle so it will seperate? Is usually @LokiWolf 's first question.It looked just like what was in the original post that LokiWolf made.
I did not. I'll be honest and say I haven't read through this forum post by post. I just kind of hit the highlights. It was the tan color though and did have some thicker sludge type crap at the bottom.Did you put the sludge in a glass and let it settle so it will seperate? Is usually @LokiWolf 's first question.
