The oil vapor is circulating in the PCV "positive crankcase ventilation" system. Now you are just collecting it for some reason. Why not start condensing moisture out of all air inside and outside the car and then praise the device for the "unwanted" water it "trapped"...
Well after about 30k miles look down your throttle body. YOu will see enough black crap to possibly fill a mason jar that is coating the inside of your entire throttle body. Compare another yaris who has done this mod and guess what. It will be spotless.

OK, here's a basic explanation... Look at pictures of an engine, it's mostly hollow inside, and oil splashes around where it's not supposed to... So in order to keep things clean, there is some air that is sucked through the engine that picks up some of this oil, and circulates it back into the intake, so that it is burned by the normal engine combustion. This is a pretty efficient system, but it has the disadvantage of building up oil inside your air intake manifold, and also, burning oil is not very clean. So an oil catch can catches this oil before it gets back into the engine, so that you can dispose of it properly later on.

more explanation, if you ever worked in a kitchen, there is an exhaust fan with "hood vents" above the grill and fryer's. They suck up the smoke and greasy air, and the vents catch the grease before it gets to the exhaust fan. So our engine is the grill and fryer's making smoke and greasy hot air, this diy filter is the "vents" that catch the oil or greasy hot air, and our intake is the exaust fan that we are keeping clean and not greasy dirty.

So i wonder if this means pretty much any fuel filter will work for this?

that black topped one looks just like the diy ones....

if the filter tubing is smaller than stock would than restrict air coming out of the engine..

also what will happen if you forget to clean the filter and it gets filled would that block the air to comeout of the engine..and would that damage the engine for not getting that excess air out.??
