Thanks for the video! I ended up buying one of the JLTs for my V6 so I'll see how it goes.

Does anyone know if this effects warranty ? Is there harm in NOT having it ?

It should have no effect on the warranty because the item (at least the JLT ones) are literally plug and play. It takes less than 5 mins to add or remove. If you want to be safe, take off the oil separator and replace it with the OEM line when getting work done/inspections.

Now, I just installed mine and personally have no idea how effective it will be until my first oil change. From what I've read and seen, they do keep tangible amounts of oil out of places where it doesn't belong.

I honestly do not believe there is any harm in not using one or Ford would probably have done something about it. It could potentially decrease wear and tear though so it's more of a piece of mind kind of deal.

Does Bobs install just as easy?

I do not believe it is as simple as open the box, remove the line, and add the oil separator like JLT's. That being said, the kit "includes bracket, hoses and all mounting hardware, as well as detailed instructions". Sounds like it only has a few more steps but should be an easy install regardless.

Someone else that has one will have to chime in.

What are the pros and cons concerning single catch cans (JLT) and dual valve (UPR) in an Ecoboost engine?
JLT has instructional videos showing single CC installations and others with two CCs.
The two individual CCs have very short and simple hose connections.
UPR has photos showing a dual valve CC running hoses all around, above and below the engine.
Is the only advantage in having a dual valve CC is that you only have to dump one waste container rather than two?

To provide an update, I was under the hood working on a few things and figured I would check the can. I have a little over 900mi on my 2015 V6 mustang so my JLT oil separator has been installed for approximately 700mi and still no oil change:

Looks like it's working and gives me some piece of mind. Take from this what you will...

what about the one made by UPR? good or bad?

I have the UPR on my V6, and I really like it. Extremely simple install, and it is definitely catching oil.

So JLT does not make one for the ecoboost? What is the best ecoboost option>?

It appears that JLT does not make one for the EB currently. I think your options are limited to UPR or making your own unless others have found some from other manufacturers.

...? Why is that?

Have you seen it?
The filter is so small and out if place, it seems they built the can around that cheap filter they found.
I went with upr, VERY happy with the build quality.

Use your eyes and look at the top of this page... haha. I have one installed and it seems to do a great job in my 2015 V6 so far (much better than having nothing). Not to mention I got one barely used for $60 off eBay.

I'm sure a can with a larger filter would be more necessary for a GT and above.
