While changing the oil on the truck yesterday, I checked my catch can at the same time and again, had about 1-2 oz. of oil in there. I think the most I've ever had was the last time, which was probably 2-3 oz. Better in the can than in the turbo or intake. I've had the can on the truck for about 24k miles now (currently at 84k miles on the truck). I check it every oil change, although I think I checked it once between changes this time to see if it had any water as I was worried about water freezing in the can; thankfully there was not any.
This video attached is not from this time I checked the truck, but the first time after putting it on the truck. Still gets the point across. Whether you have a BMS, Provent, or Racor can, you really need to look into getting one. When I put mine on, there was quite a bit of oil in the PCV and intake both. A few thousand miles later, I had purchased a boroscope so I used it to check the turbo vanes and they were good as far as not being bent, and also there was no oil there either. So the can is doing its job. Here is the link to the video:

Apparently they no longer provide the hoses and bracket with the kit, but it's just heater hose, hose clamps and a bracket that is needed extra (link to their bracket here: ADP Catch Can Bracket v2 | AmericanDieselPower )
