A Ford dealership CAN deny your bumper-to-bumper or power train warranty for the engine if you modify it with one of these catch cans. They do not have to “prove” anything - other than your modification. A simple photograph would work - which then is entered into their Ford system and a warranty block would show at any USA Ford dealer.

Then, you must file legal action to force them to honor the warranty. When you acknowledge you modified the engine and or its intake / PCV system - you’ll lose.

I’ll take my chances with the warranty issue if it ever comes about, but one thing for sure is once my warranty is over I’m on my own. I feel a lot better about my odds of many trouble free years after as far as valve coking/ innercooler clogging etc..... problems that I know for sure will be on my dime. Now if you’re someone that trades them in after the warranty is up, then this could be viewed differently. I drive them til there’s nothing left. Who knows we may not have any gasoline powered options in the future anyway..... I’ll keep what I got!

Well that's not good news, but thanks for the heads up.

Fake news... Or exaggerated at best. Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see and none of what you read on the internet lol. Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act. They can deny whatever they want of course, but unless you're a sheep, it will get fixed.

For those of you with the catch can - someone mentioned in an earlier thread "are you getting much oil out of it".

Can someone reply with their experience?

back in the day I remember using an air / water separator on my 90 mustang GT that was supercharged... worked like a charm but there was no drain valve. Much nicer kits have been posted here!

Yes sir! It's damp here in the NW with a lot of stop and go traffic. A few months back during the driest part of the summer, 3/4 of tank would get about 1/8 full in the cup.

Wow! As a general rule I've read to drain them at regular oil changes, unless you are racing or something extreme. How many ounces do the jlt's hold, and do they have a drain port. Or do you have to take them off to drain them?

JLT 3.0 holds 3 ounces...previous version held 2 ounces. You unscrew it and empty it. I don’t drive my Expy that much, so for me I empty it about every 6-8 weeks.
