Hemi engines are notorious for having a huge amount of blow-by.
Judging by the amount of oilish stuff that accumulates in the catch can over just a few hundred miles, that is absolutely true, unfortunately.

I have one with a dip stick as well. Add W1

Quite similar to the one you got, just all black.

Funny enough - I installed it at the air box as well.


Where did you get yours from?

Dipstick

That's a noval idea putting a dipstick on you're catch can. Wander why no one else has thought of that.

I’d rather have the peacock on my Moroso for easier draining

If I had the petcock I'd probably try to rig up a remote switch. Pull into someone's driveway that you don't like, hit the switch and drain you're catch can.

I guess it depends on where its mounted to how easy it would be to drain it.
Would have been a nice touch to have that ability as well.

The only drawback to a cc i see is remembering to drain it. If it gets full and you forgot to drain it, is there a valve that closes to prevent all that oil from getting sucked into the engine?

Plus draining through a valve would include messing around with some sort of container to collect the oil. Unless of course you don’t care about our environment and let it drain into the ground. I sure don’t hope so.
Unscrewing the can and emptying it out seems the easier way to me.

I have about a 80 mile round trip today to go eat turkey dinner so when I get back home I will check it as I am curious if it even gets wet in there after a short drive.

Well when you dump it reset your B mileage odometer and you can keep track on how many miles it's been since you changed it.

That’s not too bad!
I usually drain mine after about 1500 Miles and it has a tablespoon full of oil in it.
Heard, highway driving is actually better than city, which I mainly do.

Yeah that was pretty much hwy driving.

For $42 bucks I think this can is hard to beat. I just could not see spending well over $100 bucks for one.
