Oil Change Question

Over the weekend I changed the oil in my truck, and i emptied my breather bottle & there was a little bit of oil in it. Is this normal to have a little bit in there? When I bought the truck it had regular oil in it & I changed it to Rotella Synthetic. And that was back in March of this year. So I put close to 5 - 6k miles on it. Now I'm planning to keep the oil in longer & just change the filter around 4 -5k miles. The truck now has 130k on it....

Normal.
I think they fill to the point of overflowing if left un attended to.
Mine just sprays all over the P.S pump.
Search for "Puke Bottle Relocation". If it bothers you, there is a solution.

The only part that bothers me is getting covered in oil & grit up to your shoulder when you go to empty that thing ... And the great smell rotella gives you for the first few miles... Girlfriend always knows when I do an oil change....

Or do a good re-route of the tube...



And it will come out here...



No smell in the cab, it won't freeze or kink shut, and you can 4x4 with it and never spill oil!
