My can is about 1/3 full after a week of driving, maybe 200-250 miles.

air too the turbo (or from. cant remember which)flows through. theres a bit of media inside. like a brillo pad. all the oil/vapours/crap in the air get taken out of the air and left in the catch can. or i belive this is now it works
