    Catch Can Contents

    Time to get it to the dealer and let them deal with it. We overpay enough for our vehicles, let Ford foot the bill from here and deal with it. Not your problem!

    Catch Can Contents

    A PCV valve is a simplistic one way valve. It only prevents anything from draining back but allows built up pressure and mist to travel to in this case, the catch can. I don't see how it being defective by staying open or if not containing the valve at all would be any cause to this issue.

    Catch Can Contents

    I'm so sorry to hear all of this. Is it under the 3 yr./36k or at least under to 60K powertrain warranty which would cover it?

    Catch Can Contents

    The PCV valve is what releases the crankcase pressure and is what the catch-can attaches to on the inlet side of the catch can. The catch-can outlet side (clean air) goes to the intake after passing through the catch can.

    Catch Can Contents

    Either the catch can catches it or it gets burned up in the combustion chamber along with contaminating other things. Either way, you are loosing oil at an alarming rate. There would be zero proof the catch can is causing the issue, the catch can is only showing a potential problem occuring. If...

    Catch Can Contents

    I've relayed before that I have a 2018, twin turbo Fusion Sport that now has 64K miles on it. It has had an oil catch can on it since day one of owning it brand new. I have yet to ever pull out over a teaspoon of oil/water. Some results vary depending on the vehicle and usage. Some on this forum...

    Catch Can Contents

    Without the catch can, it would all end up where you don't want it. The fact that so much is in his catch can would be concerning to me. The catch can is tied into the PCV line so it is all coming from there. The catch can receives the crankcase vented pressure along with the oil, and sometimes...

    Catch Can Contents

    Maybe, maybe not. Some would but a fair amount would stick to the walls of everything the mist passes through - intake, intercooler, turbo.

    That much doesn't look good to me. That would have me thinking something else is wrong.

    K&N Oil Filter

    I use K&N oil filters on my ATV's. They are not bad and as others have mentioned, having a nut welded to the end of them for easy removal is awesome. The paper oil filter for an ST wouldn't obviously have a metal housing. I would never consider changing my oil and not changing the oil filter...

    Ford oem mud flaps install tips?

    Front and rears are extremely easy to put on. There is a 10mm nut under the floor pan that you remove, slip the hole in the mudflap over and reinstall the nut along with the push on clips. It's like a 1/2 hour job all around at most.

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    Hidden lightbar is installed and wired up complete. I went through the firewall rubber boot on the passenger side below the cabin air filter to pass the wires to the inside. That required removing the battery and the battery tray (complete PIA by the way). While I had the battery tray out, I...

    Transmission woes

    I had major transmission issues with a 2019 Edge ST that I purchased brand new. It left me on the side of the highway twice on holiday weekends going away for weekends and was in several times for trans issues. Ford would only allow the dealership to do certain things to the trans. (bullshit...

    Transmission woes

    There is so much computerized BS on vehicles that Ford or the dealers don't know what causes what anymore.. Simplicity was so much better IMO.
