Spring is coming
Only solutions are: Frequent oil changes (Oil HOT) Oil separator update Long drives (More than 25 at Hwy speeds) Remove oil filler cap after driving to prevent moisture accumulation. DON'T FORGET TO REINSTALL Afterwards!

All good suggestions.
And at risk of sounding like a broken record, clean out the dipstick return channel that drains the CCV. As in, remove the dipstick guide tube, and thouroughly clean the crap out of the small channel in the MAIN TUBE that returns oil to the sump. It's not enough to clean the small elbow; in my experience, that just pushes crud further down. Or consider fitting the cold weather dipstick.

did you see this option?
The price sucks, but it looks promising. I hope to go this route although the weather here makes it much less of an issue. But the mayo problem is crazy real when it is remotely cold here. and not Ohio-cold. just 40-50 degree NC cold. https://www.germanautosolutions.com/...ct_m54_ccv.php

I can vouch that the cold weather stuff only alleviates the problem, it certainly does not solve it.
Sorry about your troubles OP.

We found the solution to the cold CCV problem. We use either the Honda or Toyota in the winter.

Though since my earlier post, I replaced my thermostat and found that the old one was either stuck open or opening too early, keeping the X from getting up to temp. So that could certainly have been making my sludge problem much worse than it should be. I probably should reserve judgment.
