Oil catch cans

They have done nothing to the ST to prevent the valves getting deposits.
The 3.0TT EB only has DI(Direct Injection). It is the 2nd Gen 3.5TT EB that has both Port and Direct Injection which helps to clean the intake valves.
The UPR is great, but for over double of the price of the JLT, only catches slightly more.
The JLT is $150, and takes about 20 minutes to install, and requires ZERO modifications to stock parts.

There is nothing here that would affect anything to do with a warranty. ANY DI engine needs a way to keep the valves from getting carbon build-up. You have 3 choices: 1) pay to have Ford pull your intake valves and clean them at 60k miles, 2) wait for the carbon to build up to a point where it breaks off in a chunk and best case scenario gets sucked into the combustion chamber and then into the more delicate/expensive parts of your engine, 3) spend $150 on a JLT (or even $50 on a stupid Amazon one) and have peace of mind that you are keeping your engine happy.

one more thing for the consumer to forget to empty/change/service. remember that we STILL have people running their diesels out of DEF or putting diesel in the DEF tank, putting gas in their diesel, waiting until their oil pressure light comes on to change their oil, and driving around on tires that are either bald or 20psi too low. for MANY people, their simple commuting equation is: gas + car = go
