RE: put this on

Thats the kit I used, It did not work on my truck.

Mine does not have oil behind the throttle body or on the body, But instead it fills the boot, And I mean every ridge in the boot is filled. This is stupid. Maybe if I change to an open air filter it won't be so bad? What do you think? It's stock now does the openair filter help by not sucking so hard or what

I have eliminated all of my oil in the TB and inlet boot by maintaining the crankcase oil in the middle of the "add" and "full" marks on the dipstick, or in the middle of the crosshatched area. In my case that is 5.5 qts with new filter, NOT the full 6 qts stated in the manual. Others have had similar results.

Just another point of referance.

I put 6 quarts in mine and w/a pure-one filter and it's right in the middle of the cross hatch as well. (mobil 1 10W-30)

Aren't these oil in the TB or boot problems warranty issues?

I think what i'm going to do is put a drainplug on the bottom of my boot and say screw it, done!

Just kidding

Thumbs down

krueger, I got that kit right after I put on the REM kit. (I like how it looks stock over the REM kit) I left the REM separator on and installed Lightning Enterprise pcv valve kit, and all I can say is that the REM separator is still collecting oil!

silversvtruck does it stop it from going into the boot?

Maybe I can use both to stop it???????????

or I should just go beat the s**t out of this truck untill it dies so that oil will be the last thing ford has to worry about

What 01 said

I use Mobil 1 with 820S filter, with 5 1/2 quarts which my good dealer does SOP. No problems! Good Luck!

For me, the oil problem hasn't shown up again since I started keeping my oil filled to the add line. The amazing thing is the oil consumption went to zero since then. I never need to add any oil between changes. In the old days when I kept it "filled", I had to add approximately 1 qt every 2000 miles. I've been running it this way for over 3 years without a problem (that I know of).
