JLT oil catch can

[ltharley]

Hey guys,
I'm looking to install a JLT catch can on my 17 Expedition. I called JLT and they do not make a direct fit for the Expy. What kit are you guys installing?

Not sure who you spoke with specifically but they do make a kit.
It is just labeled as their F150 kit but lists EB Expeditions as a proper application.

Took me 20 minutes to install this on my '17 Expedition and 10 minutes of that was getting the engine modesty cover back on. I think I need to reroute one hose but ain't pulling that cover again unless I have to.

Not yet checked the operation but I may have only been 1000 miles or so.

Do the new hoses make reinstall difficult?

Thanks Black and Chuck. I spoke to a guy named John at JLT. He said they had nothing to fit an Expy. I'll order mine up.

Just placed my order. Chuck, if you wouldn't mind, a picture or two of your set up would be great.

Here is an install video.
Granted on an F150 but essentially identical.

Thanks Black

Thank you Chuck. I'll post once I get mine installed. The unit is on backorder now but hopefully ship soon.

I only live an hour from JLT but ordered mine off Amazon with free shipping. Came in a day as I'm also very near the Amazon Richmond hub.

JLT had it on sale for $15 less than Amazon and free shipping, but backordered. They thought it might ship on the 6th. Asked them to throw in a couple spare canister o-rings.

Very easy installation! Expect to drain it around 1500 miles. You’ll be amazed at the mess you’ll dump out..

Will this fit a 2010 expedition?

Apparently fits a wide range of Fords with the EcoBoost engine. Not sure about the V8 engines.

Received my kit from JLT today. Hope to find time this week to install. The kit comes with the can connected to an 18" hose and a 21" hose with connector ends, along with a mounting bracket for the can. I'll post pics once installed.

I really hope you have checked it my catch is filled up every time I get a tank of gas in the winter even in summer months I check it every other and get about half full

1500mi is a bit much I fill it every 350

they make one for the v8 but the v8 doesn't have the issue the ecoboost does with the direct injection not cleaning out the intake and oil coking up also turbo engines need it more then NA as you have piston ring blow by of fuel and you don't want fuel thinning out your oil

Got her installed today.

IIRC, the 2010s don't have direct injection and don't have turbos. You won't develop the issue that drove the need for the catch cans.
