For future reference the drivers side is the left side and the passenger is the right side - universal tech term so you don’t confuse the noobs! Great video! Thanks
Indeed. Good point. I guess I might have made it potentially confusing by referring to the sides of the catch can itself when looking at it head on while assembling it. Thank you!
Thank you for the videos. Overall, you have the best "how to" videos I've seen yet and I have watched a lot of them. I just bought a 2015 Silverado 5.3 w/ 93k and besides purchasing an AFM/DFM plug in disabler, was to buy a catch can. This looks easy enough.
Question man. I just installed it and I keep getting “low oil. Add oil” alert in my truck when I drive for more than 30 min in my truck and I have enough oil. Just wanna know if you know the problem. Thanks!
I didn't encounter that. That sounds strange. Not sure why the addition of the catch can would cause that alert. Maybe do some Googling to see if anyone else has had that issue with catch cans in general. Sorry I can't be more help.

2014+ GM LT-based engines are direct injected. The back side of the intake valves get caked with carbon deposits from oil vapors in the PCV system due to the absence of port injectors continually spraying and washing the valves down with fuel. Over time the deposits get severe enough to affect performance. A catch can prevents that by forcing the oil vapors to coalesce and collect in the can rather than going into the intake manifold and eventually intake valve ports. My 2013 GMC Sierra 6.0 also has a catch can that gets filled up over time, so it's beneficial for port-injected engines as well.
