A cartridge oil filter was used due to vibrations. The regular oil filter actually vibrated off and ruined one of the first Prototype engines which made them change to a cartridge filter.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

You're absolutely right! I remember hearing about that now. Good catch!

I totally agree and trust me, it took a while to finally find something like this. These dealers do exist! Just gotta make a lot of phone calls..

[@VADER_C5]

I am a big proponent of fluid changes on any Corvette. I am actually glad to see GM make it mandatory that the service is done on the C8 for warranty status.

[@TierOneLandscapes]

Justin - Smart. I could not agree more. Upon receiving my new SR, I plan to check oil and trans level. After 500ish miles... I plant to drop both fluids and change filters.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Totally agree! I think GMs intervals are a little too far apart.

[@holdenmagroin950]

I took delivery of my '23 SR in Aug '22 and did the engine oil/filter and DCT filter at 4100 miles then again at the required 7500. Now has 12K completely trouble free miles. I recommend it if for nothing else than piece of mind.

Hello Justin, this is Keith French! Great video and excellent advice! Mine has just under 1100 miles and I will be getting mine done at 1500 miles . Mine has been in the shop for two weeks. 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.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Hey Keith! Thank you for the support! Hopefully you get your issues worked out soon!

[@kevin-qc7zv]

Isn't that a waste of money, getting a oil change so early? The minimum millage is 3k on cars

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Not at all. There’s one thing you can never do too much and that’s an oil change. GM recommends the first change at 7500 miles and in my opinion that is way too long.

@@HorsePowerObsessed oh okay, well I guess if I spent that much on a car, I would want my fluids to be as clean as possible.

Correct. I literally just filmed another video doing it again for that reason. I’ve done it three times in the 8000 miles I have on my car and every time I would say it was needed.

[@avikbonnerjee987]

I saw some comments about not doing this…. Spoke to corvette tech at my dealership and he said it’s good to do after the break in period. My Onstar also recommended the oil change at 1500 miles. Wanted to share

Awesome that you found a good dealer to service the C8. 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. Good video nonetheless!

Ive bought & owned more than a few new vehicles. Other than the Vette, I've changed all my stuff the majority of the time. 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.

[@kbergpe]

GM recommends that if you change the DCT filter before 7500 mi, they still recommend you change the DCT filter AGAIN at 7500 mi. They determined that particulates and whatever else requires 7500 miles to get it all washed thru the transmission.

[@avikbonnerjee987]

Thank you for this video. I received a email from Onstar about getting an oil change after 1500 miles.. I was wondering why?

I owned 2021 2LT 6000 km Canada 🇨🇦 I asked my dealership 3 times for DCT oil transmission change and they always answer same : You need wait to reach 12.000 km.. So you lucky they accept for doing that

[@billmiller8782]

2 things I noticed. 1. they used a floor jack at the rear to lift it up to get it on their rack ??? 2nd - I did not noticed if they checked and adjusted the transmission fluid level after changing the DCT Canister Filter ( Unless you added the additional 2 quarts of DCT fluid for tracking).

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

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.

[@jamessparkman6934]

Do you suppose a DIYer could change the DCT filter could do it in the driveway with ramps? I wouldn’t think so with all the bolts needed to be removed to access it?

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Yes, I think you could. The hardest part would be getting that aluminum panel off the bottom.

Good video Justin. Changing fluids and filters more than the recommended intervals will never do anything but good. Glad you found a good Vette tech.

Go to them and find the one that has a dedicated Corvette technician and then get to know him. Ask him questions and get a feel for how much he knows.

[@billmiller8782]

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- 😊

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

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

[@MFA-Marcelo]

What is the technical information you have to recommend do this maintenance of oils change before the factory recommendation? I mean, what is your base to say it should be done before, you can't tell me just because. Is this s technical recommendation or just a feeling?

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

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.

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.

sad you all rely on Chevy and Dodge brands and spend $150K on a Chevy.... I would spend that money on a Porsche 911 or any Japanese product. wish you all the very best!!

Justin, Great content and advice on service for the Z06! I 💯 agree with having the first service done earlier, because it never hurts getting rid of any old break in period fluids! 256 👍 Currently -Shane

Exactly right. Early never hurt anything and it's very likely to help in the long run!

[@MikeyG003]

first oil change is 7500mi as per GM?!

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

Yes, correct. That's too long in my opinion.

I got a 23 stingray. I don’t track and mostly drive on the weekends. I have 3500 miles . I don’t know if I fit in the aggressive driver mode. Should I change mine earlier too?

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

I would always recommend early changes. It can't hurt.

[@craigjackson365]

Thanks love your show.
