Anyone think this is a problem at all never had any coolant problems or anything but better safe then sorry. Opened it up today to find that it was like water not oily like.

Has it been cold, like freezing recently? With a remote catch can, it’s possible for moisture collection (along with any other condensable engine vapor), and obviously worse if the lines freeze closed, if it’s that humid/dense for long.

Yea just put it in a month ago and its been about 37F out hasn't been warm at all.

I've heard this is common in near/below freezing temps as visionaut alluded to.

Sounds good to me dont want to pull the head off any time soon

How long is your daily commute? Does the car have a chance to warm up to operating temps? My brother use to dump a catch can full of water atleast once a month during the colder months on his turbo IS300. His commute is under 10 minutes ,so his car never reached operating temps.

Those things are pretty much a waste of time on N55s. You're collecting condensation in a metal can that freezes in winter. On a normal 15 minute drive your car would burn off that water and send it out the exhaust, now you have to manage the liquid level in a canister that has marginal value. These cars have very little blow by into the intake system, at 60k mine had a minor film but no accumulation.

It's normal to get a mix of oil, water, and gas captured in the can. Especially during colder weather you'll get more water in there.

As of right now I have 52k miles just got it as an extra little supporting thing. But ya my normal commute is about 15 minutes normally let the car idle for 3-5 mins before I drive it so the oil can warm up a little.
