Let's talk about catch cans
Anyone have one (or two) oil catch cans installed? The 5.0 guys like myself could benefit from having them. Im currently working on my own, but I'd love to see some pictures of anyone else who has them.
I'll also post up my progress along the way. Looks to be a fairly straightforward project and in my opinion very worthwhile to have.. I will also be doing this to my f150 ecoboost.

A few guys on the X350 forum have put them on but of course those are the 4.2 liter.....

I'm wondering just why a catch can is needed? Jaguars are quite "oil tight", meaning there is not a lot of blow-by past the rings. So, what's to catch?
I had a '12 Hyundai Genesis 5.0, which used about a qt/2000 miles. Oil vapor was routed to intake manifold, much like many cars. I removed the throttle body and extracted about a cup of oil from bottom of intake manifold. Installed a catch can, which caught and condensed the oil vapor.
Contrasted with Jaguar: I have a '07XK with 42K miles and '13 with 10K miles. I have checked, over time, the interior of intake manifolds - both are "dry".

If you plan on driving that '13, put a catch can on now. I've seen what the intake valves look like at 75k miles. Wish I would've done one when I first got the car at 50k miles...
Even a tiny bit of blow by over the course of many thousands of miles will add up on the intake valves. I think you are spot on with the Jag engines being "tighter" , which is probably why they have far less issues with carbon buildup as compared to BMW and Audi.

There are a ton out there. Why so picky This one has custom mounting and different inlet sizes a dip stick!

The inlet and outlet size aren't big enough, needs to be 19mm (3/4"). I don't want to reduce size of the factory piping. I've ordered a couple (doing a dual can setup) for BMW n54, as they have true 19mm inlet and outlet, but they don't have a lid. I would rather use the vacuum extractor to suck it out during oil changes rather than having to unscrew the bottom of the canister, but they will have to work for now.
