[@RickCorvetteConti]

Thanks for the amazing comments, not sure where Chuck got that funnel, but the label says ASSENMACHER SPECIALTY TOOLS - Made for GM and Ford products Item # OFGMRD08 Hope this helps guys, thanks so much for being here

[@chrisUSA]

What oil filter do you recommend on the Z06? Mr. Metts is GREAT. A true professional. I love watching a guy like him who knows his business.

[@mobleyMobley]

I normally do my own oil. But I went to our Chevrolet Dealer and had their "corvette techs" do my 14' z51. Just woke up to 4 quarts of dexos approved oil on garage floor.

[@243wayne1]

Nice.

[@squidward95]

I enjoyed that video- thanks, Rick. I am a little surprised that Chuck didn't fill the oil filter with oil before he installed it in the car

[@justinreid8851]

Yea your exactly right man. I fill it half full and then keep the oil level between the hash marks to prevent burping into the intake manifold. Works great and intake and valves r dry as a bone.

[@davebest6369]

@@justinreid8851 I do my own oil changes and I fill my filter all the way up since the filter sits straight up you don't loose any, for what it's worth.

[@Walt1960]

The two of you make a great team.

[@jamesbond9873]

I want that guy working on my vette I want!

[@robertaucoin4044]

If I do it for you I will fill the oil filter 1st lol

Rick, appreciate all you do for the enthusiast. Great informational vlog. Say thanks to Chuck too.

[@papabearcamaro]

Great video guys. Always enjoy watching Chuck work on the Corvettes. Wish he was here in Wisconsin to do the maintenance on my 19 ZO6. Keep up the great work Rick and Chuck.

[@billtusim3612]

interisting video, thanks, planing on doing my own changes.always a pleasure to watch.

[@jday1427]

Rick, great vlog, it’s always a pleasure to watch a skilled mechanic at work. Chuck videos are always a welcomed view. Please do more.

[@kennstinchfield4218]

Awesome explanation by Chuck and great dialogue run by you. This is only one reason why I watch your Vlogs. Keep it up so we can stay informed. NCM Caravan registration in about 3 hours. Thanks again.

[@TheJcookieman]

Great video Rick, I love went you are in the garage with Chuck, it's awesome to watch an expert work on the car. Keep up the great work until the next time GOD BLESS and be safe!

[@thevettboy]

Always good stuff. Enjoy the tech talk involving Chuck in the service dept. Thanks

[@larrynewberry3500]

What a great video. Very informative. Great to see a tech who loves his job and takes pride in his work and the product he services.👍 More service vids would be great. Thanks

[@VenmHiss910]

Rick, yep I smiled at the last Vlog and love Chuck’s attention to detail even when changing the oil. STAY 💯 👍👍👍mike r. in NC

[@smilegas]

Great info guys, although I'm still on the C6 holding out for the C8. Looking forward to your next vlog re: C8! Glad you're coming to Oklahoma; wish I could meet you guys while you are here!

[@rinaldocatria4386]

Rick .. we want you back in Wisconsin...and Chuck is very welcome here too!!!!

[@RickCorvetteConti]

Thanks buddy....miss a lot of people there for sure

[@prostreet4780]

More video's Rick & Chuck!

[@RickCorvetteConti]

Thanks so much, appreciate that! I know Chuck does too!

[@mikeflear5431]

I always like to watch Chuck work on the cars, always learn something.I like to wipe the oil filter's machined surface on the block and fill the oil filter before installing the filter and oil the gasket. Have a great week guys

[@scottweishair9272]

Love it. Thanks Rick! Nice to see it done right.. so simple, and yet not. Easy to screw it up if you dont know what you are doing.

[@stevefoisy4834]

Rick, Thanks for allowing Chuck show us what's required to correctly change the oil in a Corvette with the dry sump. Another great Vlog!

[@curtisfish7984]

Excellent advice Chuck & Rick on the oil change for a Grand Sport!!!

[@rnblase]

Chuck and Rick that was a great video!!......

[@lwelk273]

Great video once again with the main man (Chuck) who keep those vette's purring! Have to say BIG thanks as well to something you may not be aware. One of my sons deals with some disabilities in his life. Your videos from time to time that contain the Corvettes going up and down on the lifts when being serviced makes his day. Thanks much Rick as you end up being in a constant loop here at the home for this and all those you have provided. Have a great week and thank you from a grateful father.

[@gmoney9961]

Fantastic. Chuck is SO meticulous. I think he may be the only one who ever touches my GS from here on out... the last experience made me realize that it's definitely worth the 2.5 hour drive.

[@craigwaddell2795]

Great informative video Rick and thanks for all you do for the Corvette Community!

[@albertcooper631]

Yes Rick another great video

[@bodeans59]

Man, Chuck is a real professional. Wish I lived near this dealership so he could work on my Corvette! Love your channel Rick, please keep these videos coming

[@jonesygw]

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. Chuck is a huge asset to your dealership. I would be honored to have him do any work on my vette. 👏👏👏👏👍🏻

[@netcan2]

Well Rick, I watched several videos on changing my own oil, lots of great tips out there, but once you see Chuck in action, it's hard to watch anyone else. Very helpful, thank you!

[@billfleming8281]

CHuck is the best in the business in maintenance !

[@greatlakesdoug6121]

Hey Rick, yours is the best Corvette channel. I watch several other car guys and Corvette guys, but your videos are the only ones I never miss. Thanks for keeping us tuned into to the world of Corvette with your enthusiasm and expertise.

Too kind, means a lot, having a blast broadcasting with you guys

[@RickCorvetteConti]

Thumbs up, thanks John!

[@dougford5691]

It is always so informative when you include Chuck in the technical videos. Excellent Technician.

[@corvettechroniclesz06alkur85]

Informative video thanks RICK !

[@Jesusprayerwarriorbw]

Chuck is DOPE! Wish CA had techs like that.

[@julzzcan9490]

Glad to see he used a wrench to tighten, didn't worry about torq specs. When you've turned many wrenches, you develop the right amount of torq by feel, per se. I look forward to changing my own oil soon, the Vettes are just so low, gotta have the ramps!

[@bluevette2230]

Rick, outstanding job by yourself and Chuck, a very informative video; the video clearly displays, the passion that Chuck has working on Corvettes; may you all have a Blessed day; Corvettes # 1 !

[@RickCorvetteConti]

Thanks for being here , thank-you!

[@mhazeyiii]

So very nice to see this video. Been changing my oil for years. Always good to learn something new from the experts. Thanks Rick and Chuck!

[@sinsationalsounds]

Perfect information. I decided to do my own Z06 oil and filter change after watching this. It was a piece of cake. The most time consuming was warming the engine up to 175 before checking and topping off the oil. Keep the corvette videos coming.

[@ppeller3]

Rick, this is fantastic information! Like you said, even if the owner doesn't do the work himself. At least he will know the correct procedure and process that should be done by the mechanic he is paying to do the work. Priceless information Rick. Thank you Chuck for showing us the proper way to change the oil in our " smile makers" ! Pete 🖐🖐👋👍

[@RickCorvetteConti]

you are welcome my friend, my pleasure, glad you liked this one!

[@robertmarshalljr8050]

Rick, really loved this vlog a lot. Now I know how to change the oil properly on a dry sump C7 Corvette! Thanks👍🇺🇸

[@tedsmith1295]

now i know how to change the oil on a c7 dry sump system like a pro, thanks gents

[@pirateron9080]

Thanks Rick and Chuck for the info as I have a Z51 Dry Sump Stingray!

[@spooler7828]

One thing I do is wipe the surface of where the oil filter goes with a clean rag to ensure it is clean. The main reason is to ensure the rubber oil filter gasket has not stuck to the engine. A double gasketed oil filter will puck oil everywhere in due time.

[@handgunpro3195]

Can confirm, double check that old o ring is not stuck to the engine!!!

[@toohotty01]

Great video. Very informative and good step by step. well done!

[@bobfoos7921]

Another good vlog and very informative too..Ask Chuck why he dont put oil in the oil filter before he puts it on ?Good job Rick !!!

[@richardmorris7063]

A grand entrance, would be cool if someone arrived by parachute.informative vlog.i watch mma&NFL vlogs &they always turn nasty &political.you are one of the few that actually gets back to viewers via text.you are the Corvette wisperer&thanks for info on carbon 65.go buckeyes!

[@richardmorris7063]

Good question, didn't think of that.maybe w/dry sump it fills up instantly?

[@bobfoos7921]

Hey Rick did you ask Chuck why he didnt put some oil in the oil filter before he put it on the car ???

[@ClaytonYatescarenthusiast]

Dealer techs do not fill the filter cause oem manufacturers consider it a risk. Cause someone could get dust in. Fills so fast that they say no damage is done.

[@hudsonhornet2262]

Chuck is so awesome I wish everyone was that careful with every car!!!

[@justinreid8851]

I work on my own dry sump car. Pretty easy to do jus keep the oil level In the middle of the marks

[@mycorvettelife]

Good stuff!

[@steves.922]

Love this type of videos. Always nice to learn. Thank you!

[@scottbarker9058]

thancs..this vid helped me do my oil change in my 18 gr.sport..yep;;at 63y.oleee!!

[@billthompson9595]

Hi Rick! Great information, however i would like to check up on 2 things i saw . i only lubricate the oil filter gasket O ring with clean new oil....secondly depending on the vehicles oil filter position on the said block i ALWAYS FILL THE NEW OIL FILTER WITH NEW OIL THAT IS BEING PLACED IN THE THAT PARTICULAR ENGINE. This information was taught to me by a GM Certified Master Mechanic. These reason should be obvious . Thank you for your time.

[@swfloridacarguy1987]

Great video loved Chuck being such a great tech.. and doing a fantastic job.

[@jamesdugan8278]

Thanks for a very informative video. Look forward to many more.

Great video, very informative! Rick, any updates on the magnetic ride update?

[@RickCorvetteConti]

Hi Fran, actually Matt , the first client that did the update is coming in tomorrow, we are filming a Vlog talking about that and a whole lot more that he has done to his car - not sure when that airs, but will get it online soon as I can

Thank you, Rick & Chuck!

[@FourQed]

didn't know about having the engine come up to temp to properly check the oil. Thanks. BTW, just found your channel, thinking of saying goodbye ton me 2SS Camaro for a new Corvette. So I'm always looking for information.

[@vchwang3087]

Thank you Rick for video.

[@thomasangelo4219]

Thanks for the info good stuff take care of Rick

[@jamesschaarschmidt7713]

Thanks for another great video

[@bobt5403]

I like the spec on this vette, especially the two tone interior.

[@anthonymuntz2121]

Sweet!! Nice Rick. I have not had a chance to work on one,yet. Usually, it's BMW or Benz,, Audi. No newer Corvettes. And when I got one . I will be doing the oil changes after warranty.

[@DirtDude117]

Rick, I know this is old but the C6 and C7 Corvettes have an oil priming feature where if you depress the throttle 100% while starting the car it will cycle the oil through the engine and turn it without starting the car.

[@rjgmjg]

Great information, thanks

[@billthompson9595]

I like the effort but I always fill the new oil filter with oil. this allows quicker oil pressure. old school take alittle more time

[@gtperfection1596]

Hey Rick how many drain plugs are going to be on the C8 mid engine take a guess on your next vlog and ask everyone what they think.

[@RustyZipper]

8

[@RickCorvetteConti]

so silly...good to hear from you man, hope all is well!

[@RonSciara]

👍👍👍chuckies the man!!

[@wanted-33]

Hi Rick, Rebel Yell for the Corvette forum here. If you could clone Chuck you would be like a zillionaire. I know I would order one for my hometown dealer. :) BTW, beautiful Z car.

[@georgewilliamson9734]

Please make a similar video for changing the differential fluid.

[@bradschak]

Love the chrome z06 wheels. I want those wheels on the grand sport.

[@amoslyaround]

I finally got a chance to see this. Great vlog, Rick! Except, now I'm nervous about letting my local dealership change the oil on my future Vette you're gonna sell me. That said, having this video as a reference will help me to know what to look for and what questions to ask.

[@RickCorvetteConti]

awesome thanks Paul....so glad you were here and we got to chat....really enjoyed it!

[@reginaldsmall3766]

I would drive the car around the block to heat the oil. Don’t let idle for 15 min.

[@blemoine02]

I wish we could have a chuck at every GM dealership. I would definitely have chuck change my oil.

[@TheZQQH6]

Good vlog Rick. Chuck is a little more relaxed on camera these days. One thing I'd like to know, what brand is that big mouth funnel? Really flows. Yes @ 70yrs old I still change my own oil and a lot more.

[@RickCorvetteConti]

I am not surprised you do your own... here is what I posted so far about that funnel Thanks for the amazing comments, not sure where Chuck got that funnel, but the label says ASSENMACHER SPECIALTY TOOLS - Made for GM and Ford products Item # OFGMRD08 Hope this helps guys, thanks so much for being here

[@TheZQQH6]

Rick Corvette Conti , found it on, of course Amazon.

[@reginaldsmall3766]

What brand of oil did he use? I would use amsoil. Did he use bulk oil?

[@ASRCO]

Thought it was only me who did things the way he does it! I always put the oil to the top of the full mark! And use oem filters!

[@ricoalleva5838]

Rick, any idea how many miles for first oil change for a wet sump Stingray? No one seems to know but thought for sure you would.

[@RickCorvetteConti]

Thanks for watching , it really varies and depends on what climate you are in....without a dry sump that first does not have to be done at 500, worse case, base don how you drive, at least once a year.....if driving a bunch, I tell folks 6 months or 6,000 miles....the oil life monitor may not be the best thing to use as it could take a loooong time to get low. Temp changes etc can make that break down slower or faster.... so again no set rule...hope a little of this feedback helps

[@ricoalleva5838]

Thanks Rick, I knew you'd have the right answer.

[@Embarq007]

Hey Chuck, no new crush washers on the drain plugs? Or did Rick forget to mention?

[@applejacks971]

Uh, those don't have crush washer on 'em...

[@wfox_914fox5]

Do the dealers have the new Mobile 1 oil? 0W - 40 I think...

[@RickCorvetteConti]

They should Bill, soon as it was released, we got it :)

[@MrBizike]

Put the tires at 35psi psi per GM TSB for bent wheels on ZO6.
