To be totally honest the reason I installed my catch can on my 2011 gu patrol was through reading about them on this forum..... When i first installed it( about 3000 km ago) I kept checking it and really couldn't see what it was doing so I stopped looking at it and left the drain rolled up and figured I would wait a few 1000 Kms and see what it looks like.....
Well on Friday I decided to have a look and if anything drain it.... And to my surprise this is what came out...

Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward.
Whoever cannot take care of themselves without that law is both.

Thought I'd add to this thread. Spent most of today putting back the new intercooler plumbing and fitting a provent catch can. Drove around for an hour, opened up the catch can and there is already a mist of oil on the inside. Taking a peak inside the intercooler, and very nice and clean. No oil residue yet.
