Oil will reduce the octane rating of the fuel, but minute amounts make minute changes.

On my carbed setup I have a catch can because the intake pulls a vacuum on the crank case for better ring seal. At least that is what the builder told me. Also keeps the system closed since tracks don't allow open breathers on the valve covers.

For a modern engine it probably provides no benefit unless the rings are bad.
