I'm sold on your catch can ... but would buy from CJP since they have free shipping, and no tax. But not so much on the drain plug. The most important reason is it doesn't seem to have a positive locking mechanism. Next, is the sealing O-ring can be damaged if cranked too much... but how do you know when it's just right? That's also why a locking mechanism is very important: To prevent leaks and damage, and to ensure it'd never back out with vibration. And finally, the exposed threads. An extra cleaning step that needs to be done to prevent damage to the unit. That's why I'll probably stick to the stock cap, especially if I can do what I want: drain about 3 quarts by controlling the cap. Put it back in. Draining that oil into a recycling container, then draining the rest, so it fits my 10-qt container without any risk of spilling oil. We'll see how it goes, and will decide after that. I like the idea of a magnet in there, but it's not essential.
