I only ask because I have been reading catch can threads since 2016, before I bought the car. I thought, "Hmm. Better get one of those." But then I thought maybe I'll just monitor the oil level and see what happens.

3oz of oil in a catch can after only 500 miles is a fair bit, every motor will have slightly different amounts of blowby and every CC will also "catch" a different amount. On my Corvette GS (LS3) I'd only get about 2-3oz of oil in the CC every 1500-2000 miles.
