I just dumped about a 1/4 cup out of mine after 1,000 miles. Is it needed? Probably not.

Mine collects a fair amount of oil that I am glad isn't going back into the intake!

Had mine for about 6 months now. I emptied once and it was half filled.

Can you all say which example you're using? Any mods to its installation (say location)?

Been thinking about getting one.

Do a search. There are several long threads discussing catch cans, different types, pros and cons, and installation.
