I have now changed my transmission filter twice in less than the amount of time that GM says you should do it once... This is needed far more often than GM claims. Have you changed yours yet? 🤔

Traded my MY23 C8 Z51 for a MY24 C8 Z06/Z07 two weeks ago and this video is great! I'm not convinced about the DCT filter flush, especially like you showed with your filter, if it's already dirty and you do the flush procedure, I wonder if it doesn't go into bypass mode and just dump all that sludge into your valve bodies. And the need for the initial DCT filter change may be far earlier than just 7.5k miles. Great video, thank you.!

Great video, Justin! I have 2400 miles on my 2023 C8 Stingray and still can do the free oil change and transmission filter change before it expires. Sounds like you definitely recommend doing that even early instead of waiting until the mandatory 7500 mile transmission filter change. Didn’t know if changing the trans filter earlier than 7500 miles would hurt anything. I’ll still do it again at 7500 miles per GM requirements but you’re probably right that “over maintaining” isn’t a bad thing especially if you want it to last. Any other words of wisdom or advise? Thanks again for a great channel! 😁👍

@HorsePowerObsessed 11 сағат бұрын

Thank you! Keep in mind you can NEVER over maintain a car so the more you change that filter the better! I did it at 2k, 6k and will do it again at 7,500 and probably 10k. I'll do it every time I change the oil.

Where is the fill for the transmission? I know not much fluid was lost but this being the 2nd time you now changed the filter, it would be a good idea to get it back to full capacity.

I'll show it in the future. GM shows this filter being changed multiple times before a fluid change is needed at which point it would bring the fluid level back up to stock.

Good content and info Justin. On the DCT flush mode topic. At the Bash i talked with Josh Holder about this becaise i like to do as much of my own wrenching as i can. He told me it was done that way at the dealer because they have the the tool hooked up to the car aready and they can. But is not a needed step in the filter change. Confirmed by Father Chuck on Rick Conti's channel also.

Great vid! I totally agree w you about the intervals and changing the trans filter early. I am still waiting on my oil analysis from my first oil change (taking forever). I do feel even after 4K miles trans performance is different than stock and I think this will rectify it. I personally think driving the car is the same as the flush procedure.

Once you change the filter you'll KNOW the performance was different. This filter should probably be changed almost once every 2k miles. It's incredible!

You know I wonder if you resetting the transmission filter maintenance setting makes it shift better as a way to get you to service the vehicle more frequently.

I have 1900 on my C8 Z06 and I got a P0700 code yesterday and my car wouldn’t shift out of 1st gear. That code is related to the “transmission”. Going to be changing my Filter ASAP In the meantime I cleared the code just like a corvette tech instructed me to do and drove it hard. Everything seems to be fine for now. He said 9 times out of 10 you just need to clear the code and drive it hard and it fixes the issue, still very concerning.

What in the transmission is wearing down and causing so much debris in the fluid that causes these transmission to need a fluid change so much and causing so many failures? most other cars don't get a fluid change in the transmission for 50,000 miles or sometimes ever and they run fine. GM needs to go back to a manual.
