If you are talking V8. No...it does not. It doesn't have the issues like my Hemi V8 Jeep Grand Cherokee had. Waste of money on the V8

I have a catch can on my 07 1GR-FE. Left over parts from my G35 project.

Not catching much blow by, but lots of condensation.

Any issues with condensation freezing? Just read about an audi that had the condensation freeze and blew a bunch of seals do to overpressure.

I saw that too. My can is pretty small. Empty it every Friday after the drive home to avoid the condensation freezing. Usually 2/3rds full. The lines are pretty short. Any amount of time driving should keep the lines thawed out.

The condensation was frozen the 1 time I emptied it with a cold engine and it was about 20* out, sitting overnight. But I'm in Minnesota.

Honestly I'm already thinking of taking it off. Too much work draining it weekly to avoid over flow. Or having to worry about it when someone else uses the rig.

Why would you do this to a petrol engine (or why do you think you need one just out of curiosity?)

I have had 2 diesels in the past and would recommend it for sure (as both mine plumbed back in to the engine) but would have thought petrol engines without a turbo would be fine.

you got to drop the skid plate to remove oil filter and oil will be dripping everywhere. you can remove filter from the top but there will be oil pouring all over your skid plate so you cant avoid removing it.

i have been thinking about making an oil catch drain for it but i use full synthetic so i only have to change oil once a year (every 10k miles) so i never felt it was enough of a pain to require i do it.

i sure wish the factory had done a better design and put the oil filter up top with a catch drain

On my 2UZ Tundra I'd take a Ziploc freezer bag, place it over the oil filter after breaking it loose (but before loosening the filter enough for oil to begin leaking), and use that to catch the oil. Takes 2 hands, but it can be done from above without dropping the skid plate or making a mess.
