Roughly how often do you need to empty oil catch cans?
Hi just purchased a 480/480 fully forged hawk, the oil catch can requires emptying as its not a return to sump one, any ideas on how often I should be getting it emptied?
Thanks in advance Matt

I thought as much but thanks anyway, going to be my daily driver so suppose I better check it regularly going forward then I should be able to gauge how often after a while

Hello m8
Congrats on your purchase , always nice to see a strong Hawk on the forum
Is your can 2 port or. 3
Are you running PCV or direct ?
All will make diff answers
Will always need empty more in colder months ESP if crankcase direct to can , as moisture sets in
As a rule I empty & clean mine once a month ( but that's me )
