Default Oil Catch Can Users - How Often?
This goes out to all of oil catch can users....
  • How often do you check your catch can?
  • How much oil is typical for a daily driver with some spirited occasions?
  • Best practice for draining/cleaning it?

I have a catch can and was surprised at the amount of oil it was holding but do not have any frame of reference.

Thanks

After one year and over 2000 miles, I check my EE catch can and it had a couple of tablespoons of oil in it...
