is this product an 'oil in intake from PCV' solution??

I stumbled across this product-

http://www.accmachtech.com/pcvcatchcans.htm

It is a PCV catch can specifically designed to remove the oil from the PCV. Anyone used this or heard of this before? How well does it work? Thinking about trying it out...

You can also use an air compressor seperator filter for the same job. they only cost about $20-30. some one posted on here about the steeda one and thats all it it.

Yeah, I've seen those. I was about to do that, but the one I had said that the max temp was 125°F. I'm sure the air coming out of the engine would be more than that...

Anyone use or see that one that I posted the link of?

You can get the cambell hauefelt oil seperator at walmart for under $12
I just got done installing mine worked out great.

That's the one that said 125° F max. I assume that they just didn't put that on there if the max was really more. Typical oil temps in an engine are like 230° ish. That's not even close, and seems to me that it would lead to problems. Plus they have a synthetic oil warning. I plan on running synthetic soon. And the bowl seems tiny. And it's designed as a water seperator, not oil. This is an unacceptable solution to me. BUT... I guess that it works for some... maybe I should just give in and use it.

I've done lots of research on this, and have never seen a product specifically designed for this problem until now. Looking for reviews/opinions of it... I don't really care if the price is more than other iffy solutions, if it works as it's supposed to.
