Yes.

Thermostat is supposedly only usefully to its full potential when used in conjunction with the Fan switch and Radiator cap..

Cath Tank's are usefully...but if your not pushing it hard constantly going into VTEC etc...like condition on a race track then its not that usefull..but you might be able to catch some oil in there.

are chances slim for oil to get in the intake manifold though? What causes that to happen?
