    I do not. My driving is such that any condensation in the oil is evaporated off by driving at highway speed for twenty miles. I confirmed this with an oil analysis by Blackstone.

    I don't think catch cans are intended to capture condensation from the oil, they are intended more to keep oil mist out of the intake. Some people don't want the engine burning any oil at all even by design.
    Best application is forced induction which commonly creates excessive blowby / crankcase pressure, which leads to additional oil in the intake via the PCV system.

    I was replacing the PCV and decided to install an oil catch can.

    Step 1, Design bracket for catch can.

    Step 2, Build bracket.

    Last Step, Install catch can.

    Will be interesting to see how much oil I collect between oil changes...
