Review on Mishimoto Black Baffled Oil Catch Can for Ford Ranger 2019+ - MMBCC-RGR-19PBE by Fernando Beck

I did quite a bit of reading to determine if I needed a drain pan for my 2019 Ford Ranger. The Ranger is powered by a turbocharged 2.3-litre ECOBOOST engine, and many of the articles I've read suggested that the catch can is a good idea for any turbocharged engine - it prevents oil from getting to critical points Places that can lead to carbon deposits in the engine. Blow-by injects oil into the air intake system. Mishimoto seems to have a good product and reviews, plus it looked easy to install. I contacted my Ford dealer about adding a catch can and they told me that Ford does not recommend aftermarket units - and to date do not have a Ford product. Offer. They claim that some aftermarket products cause crankcase pressure fluctuations. I went ahead and bought a Mishimoto MMBCC-RGR-19PBE setup (this kit) and attempted to install it myself. With the tire off and the car on the jack, I just couldn't raise my hand to remove the "bridge" between the PVC outlet and the air intake. I was able to disable sharing as shown in the video, but there was no room for me to remove the "jumper". My hands aren't that big, but because they were so close to the ground, the angles just weren't right. I worked on it for about an hour and finally gave up. I installed everything and then drove the truck to a local shop - with the truck on a lift they were able to remove the "jumper" and install the hoses - $150 later. I have a catch. I don't know how often I might be asked to check the catch but with the current COVID situation I don't travel much so I will be back in about a month to see what has been collected.
