Does your oil catch can catch anything?

I've had an oil catch can for about 3 or 4 years now. I empty it once a year. Every year there's barely a measurable amount of oil in it. What about you?

Which setup do you have, high or low side vacuum?

I have the low side RB setup with external PCV and catch a ton of oil/vapor. I actually need to drain it, thanks for reminding me

Yes I was actually surprised and disappointed. My catch can was almost full after about 8 months.

You're in the N55 section. The N55 PCV system is different than the N54.

Whoops, good catch. Don't always look at the forum subsection from the new posts page.

It's hit or miss for me... Most times it's empty but occasionally it looks like the picture. Smells like gasoline. So it is capturing something. I check it every 5k miles when I change my oil.
