Default Oil catch can help
Noticed last night the wingnut shaped piece on the bottom of my catch can just turns in place. Theres a fitting with threads the wingnut is attached to and it just spins in place on the threads. It does not go up, down, loosen or tighten...





Oh and these pics were taken before my helper scractched the hell out of it taking the bottom fitting off!
