No, you need to get some RTV sealant and seal the spigot off. I filled the bottom with the sealant, up to the top of drain hole.

I would use plumber's tape around the threads and remove the filter element in the middle (white piece). Instead of sealing the bottom, I used a vacuum cap so I could remove it and still be able to use the manual drain.

it catches oil fumes and vapers collects them, if u does have one they go inside your intake manifold and the manifold will look like its a good mod in the long run too

...and then what? Does it just fill up and someday you dump it and put the empty bottle back on and feel good that its empty again? Whats the point here?
