Oil catch can

Any recommendations on a particular brand? Appreciate the input.

In general, the cheap ones do the exact same as the big name brands costing 10x as much. For the most part, what you get from the expensive ones is sturdier construction, a mounting bracket and hoses made specifically for the vehicle and, in some models, a sight glass for the reservoir. The one @George B linked to should function just fine. Just add a stainless steel Scotch-Brite pad. It'll go above that baffle (round plate with holes) and will improve the coalescing action. Definitely spend the extra $1 and get the one with the drain valve. A simple bracket can be made with a piece of 1" flat stock to bolt it under one of the alternator bolts, which will put it at a really convenient spot for draining, but not be in the way of any other normal maintenance areas.

Although costly, the UPR setup is awesome because all hose connections utilize oem GM quick disconnects. Customer Service was top notch and I didn’t mind paying the premium price tag on a $60k+ vehicle. YMMV

As @iamdub stated above, mounting it next to the alternator makes for easy emptying and out of the way for normal maintenance work.

I was looking at the UPR catch can. Do you know which model would work for my suburban? I couldn’t find one specifically for my vehicle just Silverado’s. Emailed them and called them and no response yet.

The UPR with its hoses and fittings is an easy 15 min install.

You have the same engine as the silverado.

The SUV version is different.

The SUV version is different.

If you are talking about catch cans from UPR, there is a 6.2 and a 5.3 version. It’s for trucks and or SUVs. They offer single or dual valve with or without a clean side separator. It’s the same for truck or SUV.

I got this one from Summit Racing, very well thought out and super simple install.
