Wow, the design/engineering tradeoffs necessary to build a mid engine car are significant. I remember mechanics complaining that engineers don't consider maintenance requirements. Having to jack up the transmission just to remove the pan is an eye opener the days of the backyard mechanic are long gone. Service experience at your chosen dealership is a significant part of the ownership experience hopefully mine will have technicians with the same knowledge & experience. I am anxiously awaiting a 2023 HTC factory order which will be my first Corvette after a 15 year hiatus. I am new to your channel and find your videos very informative & entertaining. Keep up the good work it is appreciated by many out here.

My Chevy dealers Corvette tech didn't even know there is a special oil for the C8. They put in the European formula. When I asked about changing out the transmission fluid they said they don't need to change the internal filter, just the standard DCT canister filter. How can they not know the basics? I am afraid to take it to any of the dealers around me in Northern Illinois.

Rick and Chuck - seems like Chevy could have easily built in a feature that you could disable any brake "self-test" via the infotainment screen, or the OBD system. It could then re-enable any background self-test mode the next time the vehicle is started. Seems rather ridiculous that Chevy would make you disconnect the battery, when there's a much quicker, easier, and just as safe way to disable it. Just my 2 cents worth.

Thanks guys awesome video. So did I understand you correctly you changed your DCT filter with every oil service? I have a 2020 HTC Z51. I'm coming up on the 3 years and wondering what the full transmission service you performed costs? Also when you just do the DCT filter do you add any fluid or is it a pretty minor amount you lose and nothing to worry about? I don't have the two extra quarts, but plan to add them when I do the full service. No track days just yet just fun spirited driving. I just hit 20,000 and just replaced the tires yesterday. Will definitely be doing the dielectric on all my seals, doors included. Thanks again for all the great videos.

There is no required relearn procedure for the TPMS after you rotate tires. If you notice when you put the tires on in the first place the car knows which one is the front left front right rear left and rear right because of the position of the sensors in proximity to receiver. This doesn't stop happening when you rotate the tires. The car knows which tire is where.

When I worked as tech at a shop, worst thing I ever saw was a guy came in for a flat repair. He didn't want to pay the 20 bucks to patch the tire which was just a slow leak. 😒. So he ask to just have his spare put on. I open the trunk and he had 10 bags of concrete mix in there. I was so mad. I had to take them all out to get the spare out. I told my boss don't accept any job from customers that don't remove their mess before bringing in their problem. This was back in 2002.
