Watch this about port injection fixing the carbon buildup on intake valves.

So you mentioned that high detergent fuel could prevent the carbonizing the valves? So which brand name of gas actually uses high detergent fuel to prevent the problem? You left that critical info out. Why?

That was a link to another gentleman that is a former Ford Master Tech and now runs his own shop fixing Ford vehicles in the Chicago area. Best place to look for high detergent fuel is to use Top Tier Gas. Here's a link of all of them: https://www.toptiergas.com/gasoline-brands/

As soon as we have a car local we'll start working on it. Hopefully cars start shipping later this month or next.

Were you able to develop ine for Gen 4?

Oh yeah!! Check the post I linked below. It will have all of the info and content regarding the UPR catch cans. Let us know if you have any other questions in the meantime.

Thanks! https://www.mustang7g.com/forums/threads/upr-s650-catch-can-development-lets-gooo.158383/

Has anyone compared the J&L vs UPR catch cans? J&L is cheaper, but I don’t know enough about oil separators to decide which is a better buy.

For anyone that doubts whether a catch can is needed or if it works or not.

My .02 is they certainly don’t hurt anything and they do catch oil.

Would installing an oil catch can affect the Ford warranty in any way?

So I have a Gen 3 V-8, drawing 15 ml / 1 Tbs of oil every 1250 miles, 2011 kms. If the car were a DD, putting down 10K mi / 16K km a year, that measures out to as much as 1/2 cup, 236 ml a year. I prefer to keep all that out of the intake system.

I was drawing the same amount (1 tbsp) for every hour of track time (mostly 2nd and 3rd gears >5000 rpm) on a 10k-20k miles Gen 3.
I'm getting a passenger side UPR can for my 2024 for sure.

Not exactly sure, slight grey area. They actually ‘recommend’ one in the owners manual, however the recommendation is in the ‘track use’ section.

Ford has been selling their own branded catch cans. I did some searching this AM. It does not look like their catalog has caught up for the S650. There are aftermarket solutions though.

Warranty concerns come up from time-to-time. Ford would need to prove the part was directly involved in damage to the engine, emissions, etc.

As Ford had been selling them, my opinion is no, it will not void the warranty. However, it does need to be maintained (periodically inspection and emptied) with the rest of the car.

If you DD the car, it would be a good idea to check every few months or thousands of mi/km. If you use your car for weekends and Holidays, possibly as little as once a year, during the oil change. If you race, I'd check it much more frequently (see post #59 above).

The amount of oil captured should be pretty consistent, so you'll eventually find a rhythm. If you discover a dramatic change in the amount of oil captured, or you see a fluid (water/oil mix, something weird) that shouldn't be there, that's a tell you need to investigate further.

If the can is a warranty concern, but you want to use one, simply remove it before taking the car into Ford. The device can be installed or removed in moments.

I have a UPR catch can on my S650. If it has to go in for any warranty work I will just take it off and put the factory tube back on. Then there's no questions.

Why would anyone want 2-3-4 ounces or more of used oil spraying back into your intake? For such a simple modification & relatively low cost it is a no-brainer for me.
