How often do you empty your Needswings PCV catch can?

I have halfway installed one. It was a tight fit, but very nice part.

I empty mine at each oil change
This is what it has collected most every time

So, wheres that oil going when there is no catch can (stock)? Do both engines (SC/non) take an advantage when using the catch can? Is this primarily for folks who race their Crossies at a track? Thanks in advance.

Without the catch can the oil goes into the throttle body to be burned with the fuel ultimately overtime clogging up the throttle body
This occurs under normal driving conditions for all crossfires

I checked mine monthly and found nothing. At the oil change I ran a tooth pick up the hole and it drained out about 3 ounces. Evidently it can get plugged with ctud at the drain.
