For the reference, I also check my oil levels between sessions and I didn't notice any oil consumption ( at least not something noticeable)

@TemeCal what kind of oil have you been running? I wonder if it has to do something with the moly content

Has anyone analyzed what is in the cans? I'm wondering how much of it is fuel and/or water and how much of it is oil.

Running e85 in a cold climate has filled my can with water condensate several times. I haven't gotten much oil though.

I did, however, think about it a bit (since @Dezoris did such a nice write up on it). Now I'm starting to wonder if I should crack it open and remove a few???? |

Well every can is different in how it condenses oil and so is every motor.
The Radium can which I used on about 6 different cars now used to use stackable stainless screens to help condense the oil. I always used 4 screens, Lotus, Honda, Hyundai, Subaru never had a problem and the oil weight has no bearing on it. I used low and high moly oils as well. Radium has since added the stainless scrubber on top of the screens which I believe is to help further condense oil and potentially stop any sloshing upward. @TemeCal I would put stainless scrubber in between those two pieces with the holes. (Not a lot though) I dont think that is enough to help condense the oil properly and the vapor is flowing right back out of the can. There is also basically no baffling in the can either so you need to check it often if you add the scrubber. Reason I stuck with the Radium is I know it works well. Now I have never installed a can on the breather side until I did forced induction on this car. The other major benefit to having can on the breather side even if you don't catch anything in it, one day if you start catching oil on the breather side its a good sign there is a problem with the PCV vent, or valve and should check that.

That's what I thought since I didn't notice any oil consumption. I recently ordered Motul V300 5w-30 so let's see if the moly content helps with blow by amount

Just FYI. I added some scrubber material in the baffle chamber about 500 miles before a track day. The amount of oil caught in the can was notably less than the last track day. Not sure how much oil temps might have to do with it versus the added scrubber as it was a night event and ambien temps were much lower.

No catch can
No problem 60k miles mixed on and off track on one car 20k miles heavy track and high boost on the other Ran a generic moroso initially, didn't catch much. When will my motor implode since I don't really think I need a catch can?
