Catch can is 100% worth it. You sound like you’re trying to justify being cheap over a mod you can do for cheap.Have been and so far have found very little indisputable evidence to support this mod.
Lots of anecdotal evidence and empirical evidence without good science behind it.
Sure there is enough to convince a lot of smart people that it works, and some more who think "it can't hurt" so I might as well.
Many who think the problem is real, don't believe that a catchcan can actually solve it.
Commonly the best "hope" is to delay the inevitable.
If a Ranger needs a valve job at 100000miles with no catchcan (unlikely) then it will be said
"it could have been put off another twenty if only you had used a catchcan".
That might even be true...
Stay with the Forum and lets compare at 10 years or 100000miles!
One other point,
Eighty percent of Ranger buyers will have moved on long before the problem presents itself, and aftermarket mods seldom return their cost to the seller, many even reduce value.
100% worth it for you... godspeedCatch can is 100% worth it. You sound like you’re trying to justify being cheap over a mod you can do for cheap.
when I empty my catch can and pour out a tablespoon of oil that would have made its way into my intake how isn’t that worth it? Why don’t you take off your intercooler, pour a little gas in it, swish it around and watch what color it is when you dump it out...
Keeping oil out of your intake system is worth it to everyone, not just me. If 300 bucks is stretching it for you then don’t run a catch can lol nobody cares. But don’t say they’re pointless when they aren’t.100% worth it for you... godspeed
In spite of the personal aspersion.
Let's compare service records in ten years.
Better yet lets compare service records over the last 40.
Who knows? Maybe I'll live to regret not taking your advice, or more likely that burden will fall on whoever buys my truck from my estate in a couple of decades.
Are you planning CRC treatments? You can do that for cheap.
More toward your expertise..... Did you ScotchGard your interior? If not, why not?

No. The engine was designed for this. Just saying "LOOK AT THIS" is such a snake-oil gimmick. You might as well say "why would anyone feed a volatile fluid into their expensive engine and BLOW IT UP!!!!"when I empty my catch can and pour out a tablespoon of oil that would have made its way into my intake how isn’t that worth it?
It's a possibility for me as I did put one on my wife's Hyundai 2.0T but it catches next to nothing. Maybe the Ranger will be more forthcoming.After 27 pages - still no.
Yes and no.Would injector cleaner additive help this out?
You’re trippin if you think oil making it’s way through our entire day brake system is okay.No. The engine was designed for this. Just saying "LOOK AT THIS" is such a snake-oil gimmick. You might as well say "why would anyone feed a volatile fluid into their expensive engine and BLOW IT UP!!!!"
I have no idea what you're tying to say, but regardless of hysterical clips from people selling things on the internet, there just doesn't seem be huge issues with the millions of cars that drive around with the same modern recirc systems every day without adding on catch cans.You’re trippin if you think oil making it’s way through our entire day brake system is okay.
