How many miles? That throttle body looks pretty oily!
Cleaned windows, installed new wiper blades, took off EcoBoost badge, cleaned throttle body and catch can. Tomorrow interior then gonna pull the wheels off for the pre salt detail

Thanks. Iād be curious to see how much oil is on the throttle body after you get some more miles on it again.
You need to run s mode for a while and keep the rpms up and burn some of that richness off.Cleaned windows, installed new wiper blades, took off EcoBoost badge, cleaned throttle body and catch can. Tomorrow interior then gonna pull the wheels off for the pre salt detail
I should note that this is the first time Iāve pulled throttle body to clean since truck was new and have only had the catch can on for about 500-600 miles. Truck currently at 12,500 miles, and there was an equal amount of oil in catch can as what I wiped off throttle blade
Next planned inspection will be @20k, will update along with catch can findings
Maybe a Dyno is in order? No tune just to see whatās what...
Thatās a lot of blow by...how many miles did you have before your first oil change ?In the plans for this winter when work settles down, along with charge pipes and hopefully maybe an intercooler

In my little mind....(Iām a motorcycle drag racer retired) we would build an engine and add break in oil , and do a Dyno cold run...drain the oil refill with lucas break in oil, run up and down rpms for 300 miles, then Dyno hot run. always some metal specs in oil after both runs...then change oil again Mobil 1. ...I did a moderate break in on my ranger, at 1000 miles, I changed the oil, cut the filter in half, and behold...metal particles. Changed it again @ about 2000 miles and no particles. So the moral of the story is...up to you! Been to the Drag Strip once and will go again once the the ambient temp is below 70 degrees.
