Oil catch can drain valve
I just added a UPR oil catch can to my 3.7 engine.
I was wondering how many people have added a drain valve on the bottom of their canister?
I'm sure after a while of taking off/on the canister the o-ring/seal will start to get wore out. If you don't have a spare on hand then you will create a vacuum leak and your car will start to run bad.
By adding a drain valve you won't have to worry about the seal as much because the canister won't need to be removed to drain the oil.
I plan to add an air tank drain valve to the canister. Just drill and tap.
