Wow, the design/engineering tradeoffs necessary to build a mid engine car are significant. I remember mechanics complaining that engineers don't consider maintenance requirements. Having to jack up the transmission just to remove the pan is an eye opener the days of the backyard mechanic are long gone. Service experience at your chosen dealership is a significant part of the ownership experience hopefully mine will have technicians with the same knowledge & experience. I am anxiously awaiting a 2023 HTC factory order which will be my first Corvette after a 15 year hiatus. I am new to your channel and find your videos very informative & entertaining. Keep up the good work it is appreciated by many out here.

@gregoryosen9423 10 ай бұрын

My Chevy dealers Corvette tech didn't even know there is a special oil for the C8. They put in the European formula. When I asked about changing out the transmission fluid they said they don't need to change the internal filter, just the standard DCT canister filter. How can they not know the basics? I am afraid to take it to any of the dealers around me in Northern Illinois.

You full till fluid starts to weep. That's a normal full. Than you start the car and cycle though the gears with you foot on the brake. Forward and reverse. Than top of the fluid in the side hole . Than if you want the extra two quarts you have to add through the top fill hole.. lots of other techniques but that's what is needed

@kenrosemann6996 Жыл бұрын

Rick and Chuck - seems like Chevy could have easily built in a feature that you could disable any brake "self-test" via the infotainment screen, or the OBD system. It could then re-enable any background self-test mode the next time the vehicle is started. Seems rather ridiculous that Chevy would make you disconnect the battery, when there's a much quicker, easier, and just as safe way to disable it. Just my 2 cents worth.

When I worked as tech at a shop, worst thing I ever saw was a guy came in for a flat repair. He didn't want to pay the 20 bucks to patch the tire which was just a slow leak. 😒. So he ask to just have his spare put on. I open the trunk and he had 10 bags of concrete mix in there. I was so mad. I had to take them all out to get the spare out. I told my boss don't accept any job from customers that don't remove their mess before bringing in their problem. This was back in 2002. I imagine that most shops now will also do this with customers.

Thanks guys awesome video. So did I understand you correctly you changed your DCT filter with every oil service? I have a 2020 HTC Z51. I'm coming up on the 3 years and wondering what the full transmission service you performed costs? Also when you just do the DCT filter do you add any fluid or is it a pretty minor amount you lose and nothing to worry about? I don't have the two extra quarts, but plan to add them when I do the full service. No track days just yet just fun spirited driving. I just hit 20,000 and just replaced the tires yesterday. Will definitely be doing the dielectric on all my seals, doors included. Thanks again for all the great videos.

@bhvrdr Жыл бұрын

There is no required relearn procedure for the TPMS after you rotate tires. If you notice when you put the tires on in the first place the car knows which one is the front left front right rear left and rear right because of the position of the sensors in proximity to receiver. This doesn't stop happening when you rotate the tires. The car knows which tire is where.

The same certified technician put a title up on the screen and stated that there is a 3-year and 45,000 mi transmission fluid flush and that is absolutely not the case in fact tech authority states you are absolutely never to do a transmission fluid flush on this vehicle. It is a fluid drain and fill only.

So far I cannot find a C8 tech that actually knows how to do the two filter and fluid replacement. The price does not concern me, but I don't think they know even what they need to do.
