I have a JTL on my Denali 6.2l. I like the deep can and the built in drain valve. Mine sits next to the brake fluid reservoir and has a small piece of S.O.S. pad in the can to help collect droplets.
I think they changed their name to J&L, but the product is still the same.

First time responding on here so...
Catch Can story: purchased 2020 RST 6.2L on 5 Dec 2022 w/38k.
Immediately installed Corsa Catch and was amazed at how much was caught after each 3k check. During my drive from Sedona to Florida it occurred to me that this wasn't capturing from the valve covers like previous systems I've used.
After further research it was decided that a UPR Dual Catch system was obviously needed.
I'm attaching multiple pics; two showing Corsa's collection after 3k miles, once in Sedona, once back in Florida. The plastic bottle is what was collected by the UPR system after approximately 3,800 miles.
IMO the extra $300 didn't yield anymore benefit than the cheaper Corsa system.
Too bad I've already sold the Corsa system or else the UPR would be going up on FB Marketplace just to declutter the engine bay alone lol.

NOTE- for those that noticed; yes, I also did the vacuum pump delete as evidenced by the horizontal brake booster hose.

Has anyone installed a catch can setup on a 6.2L? I am thinking about doing it and was wondering which kit to get?
I went with the UPR kit. Super easy install. Nice quality parts. I dump maybe 1-3 tablespoons of oil from it every 400-900 miles. Since install, I’ve been pouring the can out into a repurposed Fiji water bottle. I’m about 1/3 filled on that bottle and I just use it as a visual of what hasn’t gone thru my intake valves.

Can you elaborate on the S.O.S pad in the can idea? I’ve never heard of this and it sounds like a simple improvement. Assuming S.O.S. pad is the same as a Scotch Brite pad.

Did you go with the single or dual valve setup?

Got your post. Checking at 50% oil life. UPR dual setup w/ CCS after 45K. Dumped every 5k oil change
