Default Oil catch can

I think I found mine but I haven't done any car work since the 90s. Is this mine? I also only have the two small hoses to the top. This makes draining difficult but not impossible. I want to make sure I know what the h_ll I'm doing! lol!

There it is I think?

That is your catch can the bottom unscrews off to empty it real easy.

Thanks Dude! You made my day! I kept thinking there was just a little drain plug on the bottom. That makes sense that it would be a screw on cup to catch the oil and be easy to dump the oil out of. Feeling up and down that thing it was so smooth I couldn't feel the separation of the two pieces.

Should it concern me that what was in there had a lot of black sediment? ☹️

That looks like an Elite Engineering catch can and hawk4077 is right on how to drain it. I had one on my ‘03 and it did a great job of keeping oil out of the intake.
