Description
The AEM Oil Catch Can Kit provides targeted oil separation for the 15-16 Ford F-150 3.5L, helping protect the EcoBoost intake system and turbocharger from oil-related contamination and potential long-term reliability issues.
Designed for turbocharged, direct-injection engines, this catch can addresses the service challenge noted for the 2015–2016 3.5L EcoBoost: without intervention, direct injection and turbocharging can accelerate intake and turbo contamination that jeopardizes engine performance and longevity.
- Brand: Mishimoto — recognized in motorsports and performance cooling for durable engineering and rigorous validation processes.
- Application: 2015–2016 Ford F-150 with 3.5L EcoBoost.
Functional highlights and why they matter
- Oil separation capability: Captures oil and vapor before they re-enter the intake system, reducing the risk of carbon and oil buildup that can impair turbo and direct-injection performance.
- Vehicle-specific fitment: Kit configured for the 2015–2016 F-150 3.5L EcoBoost to simplify installation and ensure proper routing in the engine bay.
- Maintenance-oriented design: Facilitates periodic drain and inspection to maintain optimal separation performance and prevent recontamination of the intake tract.
Performance and reliability considerations
Installing an oil catch can on a turbocharged, direct-injection 3.5L EcoBoost provides a proactive maintenance measure that targets the root cause of intake contamination. By intercepting oil and condensates that would otherwise circulate back into the intake, the catch can supports consistent turbocharger operation and helps preserve injector and intake valve condition over time.
