If you're in florida, expect to be emptying these out of water every couple of weeks. The more humid it is, the more water this thing catches.
Well that's interesting (and good) news. Here I was beating myself up for still never getting around to doing this...

On EDIT: please record what kind of oil you're running and if you have performed any changes to lower oil or engine temperature. Oil volatility (i.e. usually measured by the NOACK rating) plays a big role in how much oil vapour makes it into this system. Someone running different oil or higher temperatures could have different results than you.
