    Why do you feel that it is necessary to wash and dry the OCC after draining the oil out of it?

    The oil on the pot scrubber and the inside of the OCC might actually help in collecting/condensing more oil out of vapor form, than a clean/dry one. Think of the K&N air filters that are oiled gauze material.

    Just to make sure catch can is clean of the crude. I agree that not washing is fine too. I am just a bit OCD.
