Excessive oil in exhaust?

[CarbonTremor]

Figured I'd post a picture and hopefully get some feedback. I

've noticed as of lately a decent amount of soot / oil on my exhaust tips. It's probably more pronounced since I have the awe chrome tips, but does this look excessive? Would this be considered normal blow by for an ecoboost turbo or maybe a catch can would help? Truck is coming up on 5k miles and I don't beat on it at all . . .

No worries mate. That is just soot. The inside of the tips will eventually just be black. Clean them out with a rag at each wash and theyll stay cleanish for a few days.

Yep that's just soot. If that was oil your truck would look like a freight train steaming down the road.

Dilithium crystals need changing

GDI engines are known soot-factories. All normal.

Normal for these motors. Just soot, not oil

Long gone are the days of the snow white Or at least light grey exhaust.

Cool, glad to hear it looks normal & is just carbon build up. . Besides being ocd both a mercedes we had and a bimmer started this way then eventually got worse. Turned out to be turbo seals.

It tries to do that to me when I post a pic. So what I do to remedy that is to hit the return a couple times before inserting the picture.

True story, I was trying to diagnose a phantom low coolant light on another car of mine so I bought that blue fluid and the pump and I thought maybe I'll just smell the exhaust from 6 inches away to see if it smells sweet.. BIG mistake. Almost like the time I smelled the nozzle on a can of freshly sprayed bear mace.
