[@RobDahm]

Thanks man! finally doing my first oil change on the c8. great paced video

[@RWDC8Z]

Congrats on getting it back! I’m excited to see what you do with it!

[@joel9873]

If you don't have a funnel cut the bottom off the first bottle you use and use it as a funnel.

[@jjpopnfresh6822]

Or a beer bong

[@mrorbit2u]

You genuis you. I have never thought of that

[@dennishill2487]

This guy is great! Right to the point, clear, concise instruction. Thanks!

Thanks Dennis!

Easy oil change. That's why I like Corvettes!

Yessir!

[@jtrell4297]

Currently watching this in year 2023 will own one day thanks 👏

[@PLLuxuryReviews]

Very detail video just motivated me to change my oil!💪🏾🙌🏾

[@M8Q8L8]

Jeez! C8 oil change is easier than my 09 Maxima oil change; seriously. Great video!

[@RWDC8Z]

Thanks Michael!

[@giorgiocisilino4874]

thanks and very informative and shared this info to a corvette club in my province, as some one stated a dealership charged C8 corvette owner $360 bucks for same service and good way to save money by doing it yourself.

[@davidryder5082]

Thanks for the free tutorial. I had a similar experience while changing the oil on my 1as. Now I make sure the lil red cap is off before draining. I'm glad you didn't make a mess.

[@RWDC8Z]

It was a close one! 😂 thanks for watching!

[@jbalogh01]

Hey man! 88 dollars and changing it yourself is far cheaper than any shop can manage. And peace of mind. You have no idea how many times I passed a jiffy lube and seen a oil trail leaving the shop and sometimes a oil filter laying in the road near one.

[@paultimoti]

And the dealer won't screw up and put in 10 quarts like they did on mine.

[@innovationpropertyatlanta]

Dropping gems. I love it!!👏🏾

[@catfightcentral]

There is another item that needs to be changed, particularly for the first oil change. It's the Dual Clutch Transmission filter which is done every 7500 miles. Check your manual.

[@babeadams9351]

is that something that is as easy as the oil change?

[@Sounds_of_Ambience]

Gorgeous Vette color!!😎 Thanks for the video!!👍

[@JoeSmith-nu8oo]

My method exactly LOL I did change from cardboard to a drop cloth with a plastic backing that way I didn't have any oil stains if any spilled out. Oh and nitrile gloves help a lot

[@dsmdriver2588]

Awesome vid. Be sure to do one when you do the DCT filter please!!

[@EC1590]

thet happened to me once, forgot to open the release cap 🤪 you can imagine. it overflowed 😆 I love that they still use spin on oil filters not the canister trash.

Great Vid, right to the point, and no filler BS. Now looking forward to doing mine and skip the hassle of the dealer.

Another very well done, informative video! I'm patiently waiting for my own C8, at 1100 status currently.

Mine is being built how do you check status?

Matt great video. Thanks

[@28693584568576556787]

[@simbaroberts8210]

Use a piece of laminated paper will do the trick.

[@sblankdds]

Great video! Thanks for showing me how to do that!

[@RWDC8Z]

Thanks Stephen!

[@speedshotzmedia]

Love that sick color

[@michaelmanley8046]

I had the oil changed in my corvette! The dealer charged me $17 buck a Quart. I will change my oil from now on! Thank you for the video/ information!

[@invalidusername_5101]

You lose your warranty don't you

[@Steveleanr]

Thanks for the simple how to.. changed mine yesterday due to the “change oil soon” notification

[@RWDC8Z]

Glad it helped

[@yishmeister]

Nice dude nice! Awesome video! Couple things I have learned doing oil changes over the years: 1) Get those rubber gloves janitors or commercial cleaning staff use. Keeps your hands completely clean, they are gold. 2) I actually take the fill cap off first before draining out the oil. Its an old habit based on a presumption that air pressure coming down through the fill cap will help out oil flow. I am probably full of crap there lol. 3) I also started using a wide tub and then using that to fill a tall gas can looking thing because those pans similar to what you had in the video always broke on me. It was frustrating. Plus with the narrower trunk situation we have in the C8, probably better to do that than a wide pan to transport to your local parts store. I am glad you pointed out the difference between the European and Dexos2....many people are mistakingly buying the wrong type. I have ramps too currently, but I am stocky and my head is huge so I barely have clearance underneath my lowered Camaro right now. I plan on getting quickjacks finally for the C8.

[@MrZman0004]

Awesome instructional vlog! Were those the “Low Profile” ramps or just the regular ones?

[@MrSamPhoenix]

Cool video, and do you have one on the spark plugs?

[@williamkroth9429]

Great video but what brand of ramps did you use? thanks.

[@babeadams9351]

nice job. without looking it up, can you tell us how often should the transmission be changed, is 60 to 100,000k sound right, and is this something a "shade tree mechanic" do it? also, do you have a vid showing the DCT oil change?

[@johnmccarthy660]

Great video,all I can add is cut bottom off of first quart for funnel.

[@RWDC8Z]

Great tip!

[@glennfelpel9785]

Thank you. May want to check but I found oil on either amazon or ebay I don't remember, 6 quarts for $55 with a AC Delco filter the right one. And free shipping. That was cool didn't even need to run to the store. Don't you just love the sound! Again Thank you for the video.

[@RWDC8Z]

Did the oil have dexos 2? If so that’s a great deal

[@oskr300c]

@@RWDC8Zwhat it says ESP +3 in the green letters ? Does that work too ?

[@mcviegas2566]

Excellent Video Matty Matt, that's what my pops (MHSRIP) & some dear friends know me as. You inspire me Matt Keep up your excellent video vlogs.

[@discountfireworks26]

For some reason I expected it to be tricky with GM charging about 250 for oil change on a Corvette

[@kpath74]

According to project farm Walmart, Costco and Amazon basic have the best oil out there compared to mobile 1.

[@COMMANDandConquer199]

I am astonished at how convenient the oil changes are in this car.

[@RWDC8Z]

Cake!

[@LuisDiaz-gq2nf]

On my c8 the oil reads just above the crossed hedges on the dip stick. Should I add one qt. Or wait until it’s below the crossed hedge mark???

[@craigjesso3976]

hey matt hows things? just a question i was told that there was a bolt similar to the drain plug in the transmission and if u remove the bolt it will drop something inside the transmission and have to take to dealer to fix. this true??? also the engine cutting down on 4cylinders is that good for the engine ??? they sell a product u plug in and by passes this feature so its running on all 8 all the time

[@christopherfischer2474]

Guy’s just a heads up I contacted Exon Mobil and they said you need a M1-114A filter. It has a higher bypass pressure. He said the M1-113A has too low of pressure bypass and won’t filter oil.. also you should use Mobile one Super Car oil made especially for the Corvettes.

[@bigperm2424]

What about changing the DCT filter?

[@MrAnemonehost]

Great video thanks.

[@RWDC8Z]

Thanks Jerome!

[@xxuncexx]

Anyone know the difference between the oils? I only saw that the European one has more zinc/phosphorous which is good for wear resistance.

[@paultimoti]

excellent video use ramps and block front wheels for safety as he does-very important as you will be under the Vett in the middle of car. I have done 4 changes on my c8 but would like to add in march 2021 nobody but Amazon had the proper oil. Also be carful on using aftermarket oil filter as chevy has a distinct by pass that they use on the LT2 engine. Another thing is O-rings are not available you have to buy a complete drain plug for about $21 bucks so you might want to have one on hand incase you need it while doing the oil change. And for God's sakes do not use the European 0-40 oil it has to be ESP oil now called SUPER CAR OIL ON THE MOBIL 1 OIL 0-40 Amazon is about $57 for a 6 pack of oil.

[@jonmotors6016]

Great vid brother!! Man that oil was black😂

[@mecgangtm1309]

GM claims that Dexos - marketed and spelled with a lowercase “d,” as in, dexos - keeps engines cleaner, reduces sludge, improves fuel economy and reduces engine wear because it flows easier than other oils, and it can help emissions components last longer.

[@jonsingle1614]

Next oil and filter change....try a filter mag....and invest in a oil filter cutter to check out any debris in the filter media

[@aztecgold6]

Can i use the "Mobil 1 OW-40 supercar" oil?

[@vidman999]

Thanks for the demo video. probably try doing this with mine tomorrow, ..it will be my first attempt. . let me know if you have any other tips that weren't mentioned in your video.

[@RWDC8Z]

How did it go?

[@vidman999]

It'll most likely be another week yet. But I was happy to notice those ramps you used. I already have the same ones & wasn't sure if they'd be okay for the job. Do you know if it properly drains enough of it's dirty oil with only the back end raised?

[@vidman999]

@@RWDC8Z All went well today. I had to go with Mobil 1 0W-40 "SUPERCAR" oil And my GM dealership OEM filter also had the 8 holes like your Mobil 1 filter.

[@johnturturiello7347]

Great video I Have one question what's the height of those ramps.

[@RWDC8Z]

About a foot

[@grampymeyer6603]

1) Good clear and concise video, close call on the vent of the drain pan (realism) 2) A corvette dude (self included) fills the oil filter with NEW oil before installing it.

[@easonjones3676]

Remember after the first quart cut the bottom out of the bottle now you have a funnel.

[@marklengal9990]

I have a twin post lift in my shop, could you show the correct lifting points on these new vettes? I’ve heard of them falling off the lift because of bad placement of the lift arms

[@Cash2112]

The C8 oil drain plug design was inspired by Ron Jeremy 😂

[@michaelfishkin4332]

Thanks guy.

[@glenndavis8771]

Great video !! How much oil did you actually use when filling it up did you use the 71/2 quarts like it said or a little less .. thanks !!

[@glenndavis8771]

How that oil filter from mobile 1 work out.. great video !!

[@MovieMuscle]

Cut the bottom out of your first bottle after you empty it. That provides a funnel, versus trying to perfect pour 6 more bottles.

[@nevrcm3261]

torque spec for drain plug?

[@jamesb2174]

how long did it take you.....start to finish?

[@hknighth]

Get yourself some disposable latex gloves. It saves a lot of cleanup. Nice video!

[@mister.wizard]

Matt, love this video. Just got my 2024 C8 this week. When I was younger I always did my own oil changes. I think I’m going back to doing it myself as they are insanely charging so much to do them now and you showed how easy it is to do. Questions: Do you have a link for the oil drain pan you used and the ramps? How to you take the oil out of the pan and what do you do with the old oil? When I was a kid we always pour it down the storm drain or into the grass if you believe that (can’t and never should do that anymore!j. Also is it really a good idea to back your car in the garage and have it running for the carbon monoxide fumes that can kill you (I don’t think so!)

[@RWDC8Z]

Thanks man! Autozone for drain pan, ramps are race ramps. Take used oil to autozone

[@mister.wizard]

Is race ramps a brand or type of ramp?

[@edvedder7835]

Great video. Which ramps are you using?

[@RWDC8Z]

Raceramps

[@anthonybrown6442]

wix or nappa gold are the best filters

[@davidray4128]

I have the same ramps. You should use a couple jack stands under there loosely as a little extra protection. Don't bet your life on Chinese ramps. Just my 2 cents. Thanks for the videos.

[@NoSh1tSherlock]

Can you make one for the dct filter? Also, where did you get the ramps? :) thanks

[@RWDC8Z]

Amazon, raceramps

[@shoobidyboop8634]

Extra points for doing without a funnel.

[@Splursy]

Final last words 😂

[@Nolemonpledge]

Easy. Just never get under a car without jack stands. Safety first.

[@paultimoti]

Normally I would agree but good Rhino ramps are plenty safe if you put car in park and apply e-brake manually. Also ALWAYS BLOCK FRONT WHEELS WITH PROPER RUBBER CHOCKS.

[@Maximum1A]

TY for the video 👍👍 There where several important items you left out. 1) Use a torque wrench to tighten the drain plug. Per GM the torque spec is 18 ft lb 2) When tightening the oil filter turn it until you feel resistance. Then turn it 3/4 of a turn, no more! Any tighter you risk not being able to loosen it next time. Less than 3/4 it will leak

[@jokerface4491]

Put on latex gloves and lifting jack and it's perfect 👍

[@DuckMcDuckinson]

Hey man! I have a friend with a C8 highest trim and it looks so damn gorgeous. I was wondering if I could use the LIQUI MOLY TOP TEC 4110 oil since the Germans make amazing oil but it’s 5W-40 which is similar to 0W-40 and it has the GM dexos2 oil spec. LIQUI MOLY surpasses Mobil1 in every way and I really wanna use it on his car but it’s his car and I don’t wanna cause any damage. Maybe you’d know something that I don’t but I do remember seeing that the new 2020+ LTs can use 0W-40 and also 5W-40 but it HAS to be GM dexos2

[@RWDC8Z]

Unfortunately I dont know. If you find out id love to know.

[@Goczku]

You can use also valvoline, amsoil etc

[@martinstreich3233]

Very helpful video. I would suggest wearing some latex gloves and safety glasses. Hot oil splashes in the eyes is never fun.

[@sparksrc]

Last oil change the dealer had the Incredible Hulk, Superman, or the 6 million dollar man put the oil filter on. I literally broke my filter removal tool trying to get it off. Now it's back to the dealer for another oil change.

[@alpappalardi7044]

Nice video At 63 years old and retired. I said. It’s time to get the corvette. It’s on the last of the 2024 assembly line. . My oil changing days are behind me. My ramps are gone so i am going to have to find a tech I can rely on. Can’t be the dealer im getting at because New Hampshire is too far for service. But not far for the best price to purchase . Not sure if every chevy dealer has specific tech for Vettes. Does anyone know? Thanks 😀
