There's hardly any to be honest. It will be fine unless you have significant blow-by. If you do then just leave it atmospheric vent till you finish your 3L.
I pulled my intercooler off every few months to clean it of oil because I remembered how much was sucked in before when the pistons went, but it didn't have any. The IC core was very clean. Once a year cleaning with brake parts cleaner to pull out any oil condensate would have been sufficient.
Really, I'm serious! Of course, I'm speaking for a good sealing engine with stock rings and pistons.
