@TOTS here’s what I have after 1740 miles since last emptying the JLT oil catch can.

Seems like a legit product !
"ANY vehicle with a PCV system that recirculates oil into the intake"
I'm sure not any kind of auto guru, but doesn't every modern vehicle with a PCV valve (which I think is every vehicle built since ... the ??1960's??) vent into the intake manifold?
(there were some earlier systems that vented into the atmosphere ... WWII tanks, for example, but intake vacuum is a free pump, and the post-60's reason for PCV was to cut emissions, which doesn't happen if you are venting to the atmosphere. I'm not a mechanic, I only work on my own cars, and so I've only been under the hood of a dozen or so cars since the 60's, but they all just had a PCV valve with a host to the intake)
Yep; that’s my point. I was stating that just about every car would benefit from one.
Separately, apparently, there is storage behind the driver side rear seat that’s hard to access as there’s no pull to activate the latch like on the passenger side. Builtright makes this latch.

I just had the epiphany that I keep thinking of the EcoBoost engines as "new" when in effect they've been around for 10 years.
I'm currently driving a 2001 F150 and have been debating a new F150 or the new Ranger. After riding in my friend's new to him 2018 F150 yesterday, I'm kind of done having that conversation. I think the Ranger would be a better truck for me when I'm out woods bumming and hunting, but once we load up the family and head out on vacation, I'm gonna be glad we bought the F150.
Trying to decide between 2.7 and 3.5. We are picking up our new camp trailer at the end of March, but it only weighs 3000lb, so either truck would tow it fine. I'm leaning toward 2.7.
I was into 10mm Auto before it sold out and went mainstream, but these days I'm here for the revolver and epidemiology information.
Depends on how much you've got loaded up in the truck as well. Don't forget humans, fuel, camp gear, water, etc.
