I had a similar question a long while back, but has anyone changed their crankcase (CCV) filter? My son's 2017 6.7 4x4 Power Stroke filter recently clogged, and as a result, it blew out the upper oil pan gasket/silicone. Local Ford dealer said they have done many oil pan re-seal jobs, only recently discovering the CCV filter is to blame. While his is still under powertrain warranty, his transmission has to come out and apparently it is a very labor intensive job.
On 2017+ 6.7, some say change the CCV filter at 100,000 miles, while my Ford dealer says most start failing as low as 30,000 miles. My son has 60,000 miles on his. The Ford Tech says there is no scheduled maintenance plan for the crankcase filter.
Had I known this could happen I would have changed it myself months ago as videos online shows it may take an hour or so. On the 6.7 it is Motorcraft FL-2077. One video shows a running 6.7 and the guy removes the oil cap and the cap blows off, out of his hand. No wonder the leaks, it has to go somewhere and silicone weakest point apparently. Tell friends/family with 2017+ (2016 and prior had a different setup) 6.7 and over 30,000 miles it might be wise to change their CCV filter.
So back to my point, anyone familiar with the 3.0 diesel CCV? I don't want mine to clog and go through the aforementioned.
