I am assuming this is normal due to the blow by.

Just wanted to get other opinions.

I changed the oil and the oil looks fine and there is no other signs of moisture in the oil anywhere.

Thanks

Yeah I checked mine twice this time between oil changes. There would have been more if I only did it once.

This was after a week in cold northern Indiana. A rather cold week, 20’s as a high most days

I've observed that in the warm months almost nothing accumulates. While in the cold months accumulates alot. There is oil in there, but I see little change on the dipstick.

I get that as well... very little oil but alot of moisture as well. Truck is not running enough to remove all the moisture out of the motor. Typical for Manitoba vehicles in the winter.

My inference is that the aluminum block contributes to the moisture in cold weather. I've found I have to empty the catch can every 300-500 miles regardless of stop & go versus Highway.

I also wanted to install it for myself, I even looked at Ford options for +600$, but then it turned out that I had some kind of rare version of the turbo ecoboost. There is some kind of valve.
