What the heck is a oil separator?

I have a 88 LX convertible and I bought the oil breather filter for it because I doubt it has ever been replaced. But my Chilton book says nothing about the oil breather filter but the PCV valve is hooked up to an oil separator. Is that the same thing? they look different but the new PCV valve looked different than the original. So anyway, can you help me?

I guess if you really wanted to you could make one for it. Just get an oil seperator for a air compressor and a 3/8 elbow. This will work ten times better than what the 2.3's came with. Although you will have to empty it every once and a while. I had to do this to my Harley truck but it sucks way more oil into the intake system than a 2.3 does. This causes huge problems since the intercooler sets under the intake manifold and starts cloging up.
