Oil catch can a must!

I have been having a strange noise coming out of one of my boost solenoids and to inspect it, I had to take off my RR catch can...Well in doing so I decided to empty it to see what was inside! DAMN! This was roughly only about 2500 miles on it and there was a ton on my OEM intercooler before I installed the can...Thank god my when I installed my HPF intercooler I already had the catch can installed and my HPF is not seeing most of this oil! lol

lol...maybe you should open up your car when you do take it out and go a couple of WOTs!! If you have a CC and have no oil in it for a while means you drive like a granny!!!
