Default Oil Catch Can

I was just reading an articale about a Supra build-up. They showed a picture of the intacke manifold, and there was a lot of oil residue on the bottom. They recommended an oil catch can to prevent the build up.

So I started to consider an oil catch can.

So for of those of you with an oil catch can installed, how much oil have you found in it, and how long did it take to get that high?

Types and prices will be helpful too.

It's primarily useful to remove vapor build-up thus causing residue, my Cusco catch can has been in my car for a few years and I never have to drain it, I doubt most people would never have to drain it. But the clear plastic pipe that leads to the can sure is getting brown from all the vapor movement. Popular choices - Cusco, Trust-Greddy, Spoon.

Thanks, so there really is not much oil going in to our intake manifold. The supra they showed a picture of, probably had alot build-up, because of the turbo.

Thanks for the info.
