A crankcase ventilation system having a heat transfer conduit included therein. The system includes a housing and a crankcase ventilation filter element within the housing, the crankcase ventilation filter element configured to separate oil and oil aerosol from blow-by gases from a crankcase. An oil inlet is configured to receive pressurized oil from a component of an internal combustion engine. The conduit is positioned within the housing. The conduit is positioned along a length of the housing and is configured to carry the pressurized oil from the oil inlet to a component of the crankcase ventilation system. The conduit is configured to transfer thermal energy from the pressurized oil to the housing. An oil outlet is configured to return the pressurized oil to the crankcase.
