Never heard of this. What's the point of it?

It removes oil from the mist being directed back to the intake via the PCV valve. The oil in this mist eventually becomes carbon buildup in the combustion, and worse, on the valves. Port fuel injection systems normally keep the valves clean but carbon buildup can still occur in the chamber. Oil separator is what manufacturers call it. Oil catch can is the common term.

The big drawback is you have to remember to empty the container. If too much oil is collected, it can drain back into the intake, causing bigger problems. I have one in my Tacoma and empty it every other oil change. I usually drain 200ml of a milky oily crud. The container I have holds four times that and is made by Saikou Michi. They are pricey but a very good quality product.
