Hi rick. I wonder if you can talk about extended warranty on c8s? If thats a good option. No one really ever talks about that. Every corvette c8 youtuber talks about the same thing, same accessories we need someone to talk about a little more then that and you would be great to help us out with you being in the business. Anyone reading this comment and would want rick to talk about extended warranty programs and if its good should leave a comment on Rick's videos so he can help us out. We care alot about our c8s being mechanically safe more then accessories and add ons

There is a clip on installing an access door where the DCT filter goes, that is the most worthwhile mod to make.

[@austinb4964]

Chevrolet should really make this simple since their Nov 2024 letter, make a website for owners to plug in car info, year, mileage , etc and a service checker tells you exactly what is recommended or required. Leverage this, it’s 2024!!!!!

[@MR.TOYBOX]

The craziest part of the DCT Filter that nobody is talking about is in regards to the updated bulletin that says to Change the DCT Filter first before running the Tool Scan Flush. They said if you flush it with the older filter in that it could force some of the contaminates out of the filter and back into the transmission system. That document is a screenshot of yalls system. It is on all the corvette online forums. So to me it makes more sense to put a new filter in run the flush and then throw the new filter in the trash and install a new one after the flush. Cost another 100.00 plus for the second filter but worth the peace of mind. Also the service techs in my area have no idea what the procedure is or what is involved in anything to do with the dct on the c8. They all have to put me on hold for a while and look into it. You can't make this up. The lack of transparency about the DCT from gm to the dealers to the buyers is on a level i did not think was even possible.

[@ewired1]

Actually the statement of replacing the filter prior to the flush is for vehicles that have went over the recommended mileage not on a unit that is in within recommended mileage. With that said I'm thinking the same way as you. Could some of these possible issues come from cars that have a transmission that wears down the clutches faster and puts more debris in the filter than normal. Then by running the flush procedure, regardless of mileage, is pushing debris past the filter adding to the potential of a failure later down the line. Who's to say that a 3500 mile filter doesn't have more debris than a 7500 mile filter. Strictly depends on usage in my opinion.

[@thethinbluelineZ06]

I don’t drive my Z06 that much but I will change the DCT filter after 1.5k miles, then change it every time I replace my engine oil, I made an opening on the aluminum panel for the DCT access, super easy to change the filter now. After 3 years, I just change the trans fluid and internal filter. It’s not that hard nor confusing, filters and oil are cheap insurance. Plus changing the DTC filter will make the car perform much better! GM already stated that the flush is not needed, it’s an extra procedure because they can and have the means to do it. If you want to do it for a peace of mind then just put the car in neutral, rev the engine to 2k RPM for a few mins, then put the car in park and change the filter!!! Rick changed the fluid in his C8 way too early and it was like brand new!!! but anyway, just replace DCT filter as often as you can, it won’t hurt !!!

[@robertparis4698]

To the person whose dealer allegedly did not do the "flush" procedure when they replaced the DCT filter, they probably did do the "flush" and even if they hadn't it does not matter since Josh Holder [Corvette Chief Engineer] stated that simply driving the car simulates the "flush" procedure.

[@mikethetrucknut]

Serviced my dct filter at 7500miles and at 9200miles my transmission went out. I had added the two extra liters as well when changing the filter. The local dealer did not add the two liters to the new transmission when they installed it but said i should. what a pain in the arse.

[@richardbingaman697]

Rick I have to commend you for your professionalism, and thank you for all the help you are giving me with my new C8 Z06/Z07. The dealer I was trying to buy the car from was stringing me along for (4) years. Within (3) emails you provided me assistance to sort it out and even made mention of my situation on last weeks Tech Tuesday. I have been a regular watcher of your programs and enjoyed the info and all the help you and Father Chuck...LOL provide us Corvette lovers. Thanks so much for being so helpful, and guiding all of us. Keep up the good work and I can't wait to purchase the car of my lifelong dreams through you!

[@keithbrawley3841]

After owning numerous Porsche 911s, it’s comical to hear complaints about Corvette maintenance costs. Also to compare to C7, a car that doesn’t perform at C8 levels. I think the C8 costs are in line with its performance.

[@yepyep6916]

Agreed…if you cannot afford the maintenance, you can’t afford the car. It’s not really bad other than the DCT maintenance every 3 years.

[@artbaer3122]

Great presentation on the on-going DCT mess. As more and more used C8s are purchased, and buyers run into 'No Warranty' on the DCT from GM because previous owners failed to correctly service the DCT, the current perception that the C8 DCT is prone to failure will only get worse. Additionally, prices of used C8s will significantly drop as buyers do not want to take a chance on a bad DCT and GM telling them "sorry," but the DCT was not serviced correctly. While the C8 is an amazing Vette, the increasing DCT issues will tank the C8 long term. You might as well make a DCT Tech Tuesday episode each month from now on.

Chevy engineer said you do not have to do the flush and they only do it because they can. He said at highway speeds it adds more pressure and pushes it through the filter on its on. He said on a youtube video that it is not needed and do it yourselfers are good to go with just changing the filter.

[@andrewe4277]

I will keep my two 2013 Grand Sports and happy with what I have.

[@MR.TOYBOX]

Bought a 21 z51 a few weeks ago. 9500 miles on it. Chevy dealer replaced the dct filter at 5000 miles. At the time there was no letter or anything in the manual that says you can't change the dct filter a couple thousand miles sooner then what the manual says. In my case 5k vs 7500 miles. Transmission fluid is getting changed next week to keep it within the 3 year mark. I was told by 3 dealership service writers that i would 100 percent be covered by my remaining powertrain warranty should my Transmission fail. The large dealership in ATL said he had two on the rack now getting new transmissions and he said both were bought used and both did not meet the criteria of the recent letter. He got both of them approved. He said in my case it was clear maintenance was done and back then there was not a letter saying anything about a 500 mile either way window to get your DCT Filter changed in order to maintain your transmission warranty. To me that is common sense but it sucks because they could still deny it or make me fight for it should i have an issue.

[@yepyep6916]

I did my canister and oil change at 6500 at the 3 yr mark. This new letter is now saying I have to still do the canister before 8000 miles. Doesn’t mention the 500 mile window.

[@gp1200x]

I would change the DCT with the fluid change in your case to show you really tried to perform full tranny maintenance. Havin two DCT changes within 9500 miles should be more than enough evidence.

[@MR.TOYBOX]

[@brianmcgauley2664]

Regarding the optional extra 2 liters of fluid, let me tell you what happened to a fellow Lone Star Corvette Club member, who annually runs his non-Z06 in the VERY fast open-road rally in far west Texas, where some speeds approach and exceed the 180+ mark. Yes, that fast. He wasn't able to get his C8 above 160 or so and couldn't figure out why. Long story short, after much back & forth with Corvette engineers, they determined that the extra DCT fluid he was running caused hot fluid to hit an internal temperature sensor that normally would not be affected. This was happening in 6th gear. This sensor told the computer to supress engine RPMs, resulting in the slower top end. Just an FYI, because very few of us will be running that fast, but some do. Keep up the good work.

[@thomasangelo4219]

[@margaretmesacortez2421]

Hi Rick! Yay Tech Tuesday! ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊

[@yepyep6916]

I read on another post that some cars were manufactured with a poorly constructed rear chassis that misaligned transmissions and 1/2 shafts that’s actually is causing transaxle/DCT premature failures. If this is true, this would explain why some C8 owners never experience DCT issues while others have multiple failures.

[@RichardK-ql7mt5qi2y]

This is still an interesting subject even though my C7, doesn’t have the DCT. If I were to purchase a used C8, how would I tell whether the DCT service was done or if the two quarts were put into the trans? I test drove a 21 that had 10,000 miles and the salesman said he could not see any record of it being serviced. It had already had three owners and this dealership sold the vehicle. Seemed odd that no records of service to the DCT was recorded. I love my Solar Performance throttle control too! What a great device! Thanks for testing it for us and the assurance that it won’t harm the engine to use it. Still just buying from Rick when I get a C8 or 9. I appreciate all you do!! Richard

[@chopperjohn1046]

I did the Soler Throttle Body first then the Throttle Controller. WOW !! I couldn't believe the difference with the Controller !! Now a different subject... As per Trans Fluid Change. I watched one of your Videos a while back on actual Trans Fluid change. I'm a DYI Guy and it didn't look all that complicated. Now I hear that you have to do a "Flush" which is different than a Fluid Change?? I'll be using Amsoil DCT Fluid which is compatible. I can get it at a low price so I plan to do a Trans Fluid & Filter Change every 10,000 miles (and an Engine Oil Change every 5,000 miles). Like the Experts say, "it's never too early for Fluid change".

[@rogermillard3677]

I like my c6. C8 maintenance seems difficult and expensive.

I have a 2021, C8 Z51, Running Soler throttle body and controller all last track season (mostly road track variations). I noticed no difference in top end performance but, did I did tweak ( tried a variety of modes) on the controller. Good results between Sport 4-9. Some different setting for Rolling Drags… 1/4 mile drag tried most every competitive setting. Bottomline, which ever setting you use, you will need to adjust your throttle timing (obvious) need to spend time to get it right.

[@kennelson8365]

I appreciate your KZbin channel. It not only continues the love for the car, but provides valuable information. I do have a question that I would appreciate being addressed on Tech Tuesday. I have a 2017 Grand Sport with the Z07 and Heritage packages. I bought is used last fall with 21000 miles. The only issue is the truck will shut and cycle to close, then in about 2-3 seconds open again. I know there was a tech bulletin on this recommending reprogramming the module. This has been done three times. My technician has it again trying to determine why it happens repeatedly. Y the way he is a GM tech who works on Corvettes but we are stumped. We wonder if the module is needing to be replaced. Any suggestions? And thanks in advance for your response.

[@ChipDavis160]

It seems if you drive the C8 normally, the DCT maintenance interval is easy, the low mileage owners seem to have the issues with miles, years etc.

[@garyjozefiak5860]

I have a 24 Corvette with very low miles so i haven't thought about the transmission fluid change. I just bought a 24 Tahoe and have owned two before that. Hocw come they never talk about the transmission fluid in those vehicles. Years ago i purchased a Pontiac and someone told me to changed the transmission fluid do i took it to the dealer and had it changed. The car never shifted right after that.

Question on the rotation of tires??? Is it take the right side and move it to the left??? Or dismount the right tire from the wheel and reinstall on the left wheel??? Thanks for the update

[@fredanddebramacdonald2445]

I’ve always wanted a Corvette, but right now just have a 2017 Impala. I do like the price of the transmission service on the Impala compared with the C8 Corvette! And the Impala isn’t cheap to keep and is a nightmare to work on in many respects! I had to have an AC evaporator core installed and most of the interior has to be removed to access it! Who designs these new cars anyway!?! Time to look at the 70s cars and design them like that again.

[@stymie09]

You guys have me totally confused. My owner's manual says after 3 years the DCT fluid must be changed. I brought my 3 year old 13,000 mile '21 Stingray to the dealership for the DCT service. Dealership called the service: "530 - Transmission External Filter Service, Flush & Fluid Exchange". Service advisor spoke to the Corvette Specialist and assured this was a full fluid change. Total cost - $1435.73. You're saying the oil wasn't changed?

[@randytidwell5836]

when gm is talking 3 years for the transmission fluid do they go from the build date on the car or the purchase date of the car? I have heard that they say if the fluid sits on the shelf for 3 years unopened it needs to be disposed of.

[@BillCoulter-of5mh]

Hi guys Does installing the Soler performance module in any way affect any of warranty on the c8 corvette? If I have to take the car in for service should I remove the device and reinstall it after the service or just set the controller to the own setting? Thanks

That's what I plan to do..

[@bobjeffries6532]

If the dealer talks you into changing the internal filter which is not necessary, then yes $1,200-$1,600. If you only do the recommend fluid change and the External filter then $600-800. Be aware

[@nikosky4028]

Gm should have said this when they first introduced the c8 that maintaining the c8 is different then other corvettes and will cost more. Its not fair they send a letter out after the 4th year of the car saying that filter needs to be changed at 7500 miles even if you changed it at 5000 miles. For those who just changed it and now have to pay for a new dct filter after a few months of changing it is not fare to the customers. If i knew all of these changing rules and headaches with people transmissions going bad i might have thought about buying a different sports car but i do love everything about my c8 and all the attention it gets when driving it might make up for most of that as long as no problems. I say get extended warranty if you have a c8. Rick should talk about that to help us out

[@aluckyboy]

My dealer knows nothing about C8 Trans serves I to take letter from GM in and show them.

[@MR.TOYBOX]

Facts. It's so bad in Birmingham i have my service booked with an atlanta dealership. The service techs have zero and i mean zero clue about the C8. Its as if they never seen one or heard of one before. It's the weirdest thing. I would rather drive 2 hours to a dealership where the service tech actually understands and has worked on plenty of c8 corvettes.

23 C8 coupe, non-Z51. 2 year mark was coming up on mine, so had the free DCT service with 6600 miles on it. Just got the GM letter as well. Funny thing, my dealership actually showed me the service bulletin on their computer that showed GM stating the window was 1000 + or - from 7500...so 6500 - 8500. Guess that was not the case. Oh well, have 7200 miles now, so might just drive a little less and wait and have the 3 year fluid exchange and next DCT service done at the same time in July to save several hundred dollars. I knew it was going to be expensive, and I am fine with that, but GM changing the rules each year on the transmission is ridiculous. Guess those $20k transmission replacements under warranty were adding up, so this is GMs way of trying to get out of backing their product. Just another typical greedy corporation.

Lots of people complaining about the depreciation and ongoing cost of their ‘investment’. First, have a look at service intervals and cost of owning a comparable Porsche. Secondly, the faithful know that their C8 is an ‘emotional’ investment. And those folks know it’s worth it.

[@chopperjohn1046]

Definition of Investment: An investment is an asset or item acquired to generate income or gain appreciation. Appreciation is the increase in the value of an asset over time. It requires the outlay of a resource today, like time, effort, and money for a greater payoff in the future, generating a profit.

[@robertmccracken9704]

You only need to change the DCT Canister Filter (GM Parts 24045729) not the filter that’s in the pan. Don’t let them talk you into it. It’s NOT required to be changed. Save yourself a few hundred dollars.

[@croderique]

Rick, once again you and Father Chuck didn’t talk about the internal filter change which I’m told only is required if you track the car. Dealers are forcing owners to do the internal filter change which requires removing the oil pan and jacking up the engine and doubles the cost. You only need to change the fluid and External DCT filter normally, which is half the cost, $650-800.

[@petermiller9631]

[@boblivingston4841]

GM has a problem with C8 DCT transmission.They are trying to get out of warranty claims on the transmissions.Reminds me of the start of the LS-7 engine problems destroying themselves.

[@robbinconner9061]

The manual seems to indicate that every 24 hours of track use the transmission fluid and external canister filter needs to be changed. Could you confirm? Given the frequency of this requirement the difficulty and extraordinary expense of changing the fluid and filter (or just even adding transmission fluid) seems very poorly thought out. These DCT issues show the difficulty they faced moving to a mid engined platform. Porsches (neither mid nor rear engined) do *not* have these issues. Certainly makes the C7 look good from a tracking perspective.

[@MrSdmckenna]

So you do the DCT change at 7,500. The 3 year clock starts at zero. The 25,000 Mile measure starts at 0. Either hits, change the fluid.

[@Mr2BlazeU]

I have a 2021 C8 at 7400 miles and just had the external dct filter replaced and transmission fluid topped off. But there was no mention of fluid needing to be changed. Since my car is at 3 years do I have to go back and tell them to do the entire fluid job? Thanks, again yes confusing. Good thing is they did not charge for the filter work. This was at a Chevy Dealership.

[@MR.TOYBOX]

Yep. To stay compliant it has to be replaced by year 3.

[@Corvette.Ronnie]

Here's the part I find confusing. Chevrolet says in the letter, the fluid should be changed every 3 years REGARDLESS of mileage. This is obviously directed at those guys who only drive their cars 1000 miles a year. HOWEVER, the transmission fluid itself has no shelf-life date listed, which means you could be adding 3-year-old transmission fluid to your car but now magically do not have to change it for another 3 years???

Yes the money pit is all it is a liability play toy for grown folks If that’s what you like don’t complain about the ridiculous cost

Only a wanna be corvette owner would say something so untrue. A 100k Sportscar with maybe 2k in maitance costs in 3 years 22k miles is super affordable and cheap

Fine line between recommended and required. Everything seriously depends on how hard you drive it, and how many miles you put on it …. I only drive my car about 1500 miles a year …. Not wasting money on recommended service
