Congratulations. You just voided your warranty by draining the break in oil roughly 5000 miles before GM recommends. Now, if you have any problems with your engine or transmission, GM has an iron clad way to void your warranty. A true genius at work...

The front lift was making a noise so they changed the pump, was still making the noise after they change the pump. Bled the lines 5 times and still makes the noise so they are getting another pump on order. No gas in the oil! Love the car! Keep up the great videos.

Most recently (2021) I ordered a new Subaru Crosstrek Limited for vacation traveling & winter months. They provided me with FREE service for 3 yrs. I've had the oil/filter changed 5 times thus far and i just passed 11,000 miles. Air filter replacement also. It's cheap maintenance IMO.

I have a 2019 C7 GS and one of my biggest issues is that there are no good dealers or mechanics in my area that inspire confidence, I can't even get an oil change without being nervous. It's one of the reasons why I won't consider moving to a C8 at this point, not interested in buying a car for 100K+ and if/when I need service, I get treated like I'm bringing in a Volt lol.

@HorsePowerObsessed
@HorsePowerObsessed 11 ай бұрын
The used the floor jack to make sure the lift arms didn't touch anything underneath. Perfectly safe to do. They did not adjust the transmission fluid because when you change the filter such a small amount comes out (1/32nd of a quart) it doesn't affect it enough to need adjusting. Eventually it will but we're talking many many filter changes. Also, the Z06 doesn't require the extra 2 quarts, it already comes with it from factory.

@HorsePowerObsessed
@HorsePowerObsessed Жыл бұрын
As stated in the video this is my opinion but based on cars in the past, the C7, GM recommended the first oil change be done at 500 miles due to break in material. Seems the same should be applied here. The transmission is the single most fragile component on this car so again, it seems to me doing filter changes more often could be beneficial since many that are familiar with this transmission state that the filter size is too small for the size of the transmission. At the end of the day it comes down to one thing. Engines/transmissions are expensive. Filters are cheap. It's easy/cheap insurance.

? do they usually jack the car up from the back end first with a hand jack? Is that a normal jacking point?

The rear differential is always a good jacking point.

Saw the tech used a floor jack under the engine. It looked like the lift arms were too high. That would scare me jacking anywhere but where the jacking pucks go. Did you ask about that.

Actually you loose about 5-6 oz per canister change - not much your correct- especially if you added the additional 2qts for tracking. But if not - it is a double check that the factory filled the transmission correctly- then replace the lost fluid at the dealership’s expense ( after all any Service is expensive enough- 😊

The Z06 doesn't need the extra 2 quarts. It comes from factory with that added already.

I’m going to do the changes in between GM recommended changes so no. It won’t void warranty as long as you also get them changed at the recommended intervals by GM.

I have owned various generations of Corvettes since 1990, never had to change transmission fluid or filter and I have never had any engine or transmission problems. A big waste of money. No one checks your service records when you take your car for warranty work. I have never kept a single service record.
