I'm also wondering how often it would need to be emptied. It looks rather small.
I've only had it installed for a few days and my car's been sitting the garage, so no comment on it other than it looks cool I guess.

Yeah, it's in a difficult place to reach, you're gonna have to take the engine cowl off to empty it, I think. Car is torn apart right now, so just going off memory.

It depends on the health of your PCV system.

That's what I would've preferred. Had no idea about this, went and google'd and looks like it's not available to purchase online?

An oil/air separator is what worked on my last car, not an oil catch can.
