As I've been reading and researching since this is my first go round with direct injection and all these new fangled engine designs. Last time I bought an almost new vehicle was in 2004 and the Maverick is the replacement for that one. I come across oil catch cans to filter oil out of the recirculated gases in the valve cover to the intake. On the surface it seems a good idea to help prolong the life and performance of the turbo and an oversight of Ford to not include them on these engines since it is a known problem.
Apparently they do have an oil seperator on the crankcase on both the 2.0L and 2.5L used on the hybrids.
The hybrid oil seperator is also used on 2020 - 2023 Ford Escapes with a 2.5L engine.
The 2.0L ecoboost oil seperator is also on a bunch of different models from 2020 up like the Escape, Ranger, Edge, Explorer and Bronco.
So question becomes does it work the same as an oil catch can would or not? If it does is there any real reason to have an aftermarket oil catch can installed other than for redundancy?
