I recently installed a JMB CAI and Catch can and i'm wondering how fast should it fill and need to be emptied?

Every engine is different. These 10's do tend to burn about a qt/every 3000/miles.
So keep a eye on her, and check your oil every couple of weeks or so.
We empty the catch-can every time we change the oil. 3000/miles

They come in different sizes. This is a small one...



It works with a cool-air-intake, like this one...

That lost is caused greatly by my forced induction. Your's may not lose as much.

The by-pass tube that comes out of your valve cover, with all the nasty gases and oil.

You disconnect that connect it to the catch-can, that way it doesn't go back through the engine and manifold and out your tail-

pipe....keeps everything a little cleaner and the tail-pipe dry!
