Another catch can question

[Dieselcamino]

Hey guys. Looking into getting a catch can on my 2018 5.3 1500, trying to spend less than 100$ on one, (and brand suggestions welcome) but my main question is, say you forget to empty it? Is it now a small jar of oil and water waiting to get slurped up into the intake when you hit a big bump? I like the idea of the cans but can't factor out the potential goof up.

If you forget to empty the can, it would be like if the can were never there... 

 

I got one of those 35 dollar on Amazon.

Don't forget, this is the internet, if you don't spent 200 dollar on a can than it won't be a catch can. I'm still trying to figure this out myself.

This, just like if you don't have a catch can your truck will run like crap in 30k miles and the valves will be blocked by 50% and mpg as well as power will be half when new...

I tend to agree with both of you, I figured it's cheap insurance but why spend more than 100$ on one.

You may as well stuff a beer can with steel wool, punch to holes in it and call it a day. Why half ass it half the way, half ass it the whole way.
