Question 01' catching a ton of oil?? how to stop it

ok 1st I do not want breathers, i have thought about it but the downsides to me out weigh the good. with that said i have a catch can set up after my pcv and it catches a ton of oil. now i know with 98+ they say to vertically mount the pcv but 01-02 have a diffrent setup so how do i keep it from sucking so much up. im happy my catch can is catching it all but id like to see it catch a little less ya know

Mine was catching alot of oil. I just switched to 5W40 Mobil 1 and it'd now drastically less. If you want a truck pcv valve, pm me. I've got one if you want to try that route. It works for some guys.
