Default catch can contents

Those of you who are FI , how often do you empty your catch can? What is the appearance and what is the quanity of fluid?

Just wondering about this. I know not every engine is the same , but a general idea would help. And if you think your engine is healthy.

EXAMPLE: every oil change , about half a can , kinda frothy. You get the idea

If you run a catch can with large enough diameter hoses and a breather on top
with long enough hoses to the engine, you may *never* empty the
catch can.-Bob
