You can pull it out of the engine, just need a pump (which I dont have).

I didnt take it out of the filter, I took it out of the pan when I was draining it for an oil change.

I wouldnt think the evaporated/condensed oil that ends up in the catch can is a good sample because any metals probably dont come with it when it evaporates. Plus there will probably be some water along with that catch can oil.
