My UPR catch can after 6000 miles in my 2011 5.0. That would've passed through the intake manifold.

so does pissing in the oil help lubrication?

I used a JLT on my 2010 GT with roush blower. It looked like a choc milk shake....aprx 1.5 oz worth of crap..... in the 2 oz container. When I switched from Ford 5W-30 motocraft eng oil to RP 5W-30, no more choc milkshake crap..and only half as much crap collected. I have since switched to RP HPS 5W-30...same deal.
I change the oil every 6 months on spec.... + new FRPP oil filter. My theory is the RP 5W-30......after the 2nd oil change using RP..... has cleared out the old crap + varnish + sludge deposits. Hence the JLT catch can collecting less oil.... plus what it does collect, looks like oil...not a choc milkshake. The choc milkshake is eng deposits, sludge, varnish, unburnt fuel, condensation, etc.
If you have a blower..and no catch can... u end up with a helluva mess. That choc shake ends up all over the blower elbow, blower intake, rotors, IC, and also the manifold. A catch can is a must have item.
That choc shake effect will also reduce the octane of your gas a bit I'm told..... how much I dunno.

Get a real catch can and I bet you pick some up again...
So what's a real catch can? You don't like the JLT or the UPR one...

Actually, it looks like he has shown interest in the UPR one:

Even then, most people are leaning more towards Moroso, Bob's Autosports, or UPR than JLT. I only have a JLT because back then I didn't know any better.

You get what you pay for!
I never knocked UPR. I went with a Bob's...
Sorry I miss understood. I have a UPR and its not bad. I have heard a lot of bad stuff about the JLT one and thats why I didn't go with it. The only issue I have with it is they seemed to have sent me the wrong size diameter hose. I have my catch can for the passenger side and it has a smaller fitting then the drivers side. I need to figure something out with a step down or something.

Your signature line says you have a 2010. If you have a 4.6 then you don't want/need to use a catch can on the passenger side, only the driver's side. The engine draws air into the passenger side valve cover and blows it out the driver's side valve cover.

Two Cents: I'm running Mobil1 5W30 and filling the can. This UPR can works extremely well.
Hm interesting. When I ran my Procharger with out a catch can it had oil all in the intake and on the propellers of the head unit. Since I added the catch can on the passenger side its been dry. When I installed the Procharger they said to cap the drivers side and then I ran a line from the passenger side valve cover to the intake.
Edit: Yes it is the 4.6 3V

Bob's!!! I bought the plain can and put together some hoses.
Just ordered my Bob's can to replace the JLT.

Damn ... I'd hazard a guess you've got a bit of a coolant leak going on there.

Um, yeah. That's kind of ugly looking.

No coolant leak. The UPR can just traps that much nastiness. I've seen plenty of cars do this with our can. Even non-Mustang passenger cars.
