Looking for some comparisions here. This amount has accumulated over 400 miles in 3 weeks. Weather here hasnt reached over 50 and typically its been in the 30s and 40s. Seems like a lot of condensation with a small amount of oil. Guess if I drove harder it would of burned off lol. Whats your thoughts?

I just checked mine today. Have accumulated about 3/4" of murky rust-colored sludge in the bottom (condensation mixed with oil). Haven't emptied it since last May. Maybe 4K miles.

In the Subaru world these are very popular.
So many collected a sort of dirty milkshake, then manufacturers started to make a version 2.0 of these, where there's a heating coil that goes through or around it, basically looping hot coolant around it, to heat it up, then the milkshake went away.
I personally never use these, the info I have is from pictorials on those forums.

Good info in this one about winter driving with it.

I drained mine after a summer's driving of 4579 kilometers. It had a skim of oil and a little puddle of water in it. My drives are not quite long enough to burn all the condensation and fuel out of the oil as seen in my UOA. I need to get out for some longer drives and enjoy my beast more.

If only the secondary roads where in better condition and not so rough and full of bad patching work.

Installed my OAS at 3849 mi in Feb '16, just checked it today at 7010 mi. About a 1/4 cup of chocolate milkshake as shown. Yummy...
