Oil Catch Can
Recently fitted the BMS OCC. Have done a quick search, and the general consensus (and BMS' recommendation) is to empty the can about every 3-6 months. As with oil change frequency, this must depend on usage.
For those using a catch can, how often are you emptying the can and after approx. how may kms/miles? If you are tracking the car, would you check to empty it sooner than 3 months, or not really necessary? Are there basic rules to OCC maintenance apart from regular checking/emptying? Thanks |

Yep, takes a very long with street driving, even with tuned cars. Of course mine probably takes longer because I have a Riss Racing one which leaks and does not have any baffles to help catch stuff.

I had hardly any oil after 6 months of street driving and long road trips.

You should be fine with every 7,500 miles or 12,000 km.

It not only depends on your driving style but also on your car in general. PCV systems are not all equal. My car had only coating after 6 months and I drive it hard.
Eventually I took it off. |
