Combination oil fill and MM ftting

I now have a Mighty Mouse Wild Catch Can.

Downside with it is there is no easy oil fill port. To put in oil, the cap on the valve cover needs to be unscrewed.

Is there anyone who makes a combination?

Earl's 3434122ERL Earl's Oil Fill Cap w/ PCV Vent

These late model valve cover fill caps screw into the valve cover like an ordinary cap. These caps feature a baffle & -10 ORB (7/8"-14 Straight Thread O-Ring Style Port) for use w/ AN O-Ring Fitting (or Port hose end) & AN hose to the catch tank or PCV. These caps eliminate the need to modify...

I junked my MM oil fill setup and replaced it with a Radium cap and appropriately sized Radium swivel fitting. The Radium cap has a pre-filter stainless mesh configuration which is a nice unexpected upgrade.

The best part of this upgrade is the oil fill cap and swivel fitting can independently turn regardless of each others clocking. I think this is exactly what you are looking for as a solution?

The MM, being a fixed-position unit, was nothing more than a giant PITA.

This topic is causing me some consternation(!) I have convinced my self that somewhere on these interwebs that I have SEEN a filler tube with an -AN fitting on the side made for LS engines. About four inches tall, canted in the middle with a port on the side and the tube will accept the stock oil cap.
I KNOW I've seen it... but can't find it, anywhere, now.

This is what I am using—no tools needed. I won’t show the rest of my setup as I completely butchered the MM Wild kit but you get the idea.

I'll wait a day or two for you to find it.

Its not much of an issue. You turn a wrench when you need to change the oil down low and again up top. The cap with -10 fitting makes it a little easier. People who need a -10 breather shouldn't be going to Jiffylube.

Time is money.

I have essentially 2 full time businesses I run. I get up at 445 to get to the restaurant around 6am (which btw is doing very well and ahead of projections/prognostications I was told to expect for a "successful" restaurant). Monday through Friday I stay until 815-830 then go to my career of 26 year business. On Saturday and Sunday I'm there all the hours we're open until the last person leaves.

For the $20 something, less my military discount, I spend at the Take 5 I use, I don't have to fuck with getting into clothes to get under the car, not to mention getting the ramps out to put it up. Also, doing it, I don't have to fuck with taking the oil back to NAPA or other place where I bought my Liqui Moly and bigger filter.

So the easier I make this on them at the "Jiffylube"....the better...on me (even if I need a 10 breather).

Yes

I Just wanted to have the twist off for where it connects to the valve cover, for oil filling, instead of using a wrench, as stated above.

That Earls or Radium look like best of both worlds.
