I would highly recommend doing this before GM says to do it! What do you guys think? 🤔
Great info. I just hit 1k. Should I wait until 2k? 2023 Stingray. 70th anniv, z51
In a Heartbeat! That’s a 10-4 Buddy ,!
Congratulations. You just voided your warranty by draining the break in oil roughly 5000 miles before GM recommends. Now, if you have any problems with your engine or transmission, GM has an iron clad way to void your warranty. A true genius at work...
@@bdd1469what are u smoking lmao
@@stevenkhaliq4993I would personally do it as close to 1k as possible.
That mechanic was really cool letting you film him well done mr mechanic
Totally agree. He was awesome.
This is the type of content that was unparallel in the Corvette you tube space on this channel.. Im glad to someone provide preventative maintenance tips for long term owners.
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.
You're absolutely right! I remember hearing about that now. Good catch!
After I put 1000 miles on my C8 HTC I changed my oil and transmission fluid and filters just to get the break in fluid out and any small metal particles that were in the oils due to being a new engine and tranny.
Exactly.
2000 miles and looks like that and checy wants you to change it at 7500 they are crazy!
@@beeweezee71888 yea I’m not waiting that long. My C8 has 7000 miles now and I just changed the oil for the 3rd time. I race my Z51 so I dump the oil every 3000 miles.
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.
Man that color of your zo6 is insane. I love the all blacked out look that is beautiful! Enjoy it!
Appreciate it!
I think it’s great that you found a dealership that you’re happy with unfortunately, most dealers aren’t like that and wouldn’t even watch in the area watching them but great information. Great video.
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..
10 out of 10 Dealer right there. Didn't even steal your sunglasses imagine that 🤣
lol my thoughts exactly! Not all dealerships are bad but man, the bad ones are BAD!
Bro it seems you got your guy there with Greg the tech, you can’t beat that. Gave you and your baby some love for sure..
💯!! It’s hard to find a good mechanic!
Good information and good to know you found someone local to work with. I use Cochran’s Toyota for service on my 4Runner after a bad experience at the selling dealership. There is something about a family owned business that is just better.
Thank you! The corvette tech at this location changes everything for me!
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.
Totally agree! I think GMs intervals are a little too far apart.
Great info, Justin. Thanks!
You're very welcome. Thank YOU!
Thanks! Great information!
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.
Hey Keith! Thank you for the support! Hopefully you get your issues worked out soon!
Nice to see a confirmed Corvette mechanic in the area!
Agreed! It's always a good thing to know where to take your car!
It was cool that they let you film it too. I could see a lot of places saying no way!
Once again thanks for the great learning curve
you're very welcome!
Justin Thanks for the information!! You're a very knowledgeable Z06 Corvette owner!!👍🏽
You're quite welcome! I'm looking to prolong the life of all my cars so this is the kind of info I will always be posting on my channel.
Really good content that provided really good insight and advice. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
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.
Exactly! That's exactly how I feel about it. Peace of mind kind of maintenance.
Excellent video Justin keep it coming 👍
Thank you!! Will do! 👍👍
Thank You!
Thanks for showing where the oil filter and such is.
No problem at all! Thank you!
thing looks sick black
Awesome video! Did you top off the transmission fluid after some of the fluid leaked out though?
Thanks. No need, you don't lose hardly any. GM doesn't state you have to do it at all because by the time the fluid change is necessary you haven't lost enough to be an issue from just filter changes.
Thank you Justin
Be doing this exact same thing tomorrow with Front Seat Driver.
Sooner than later in my opinion!
For track use 5W-50 may be warranted, otherwise I'm not fan of high viscosity (or ultra low viscosity) oils. Look at all the bearing issues BMW had with their high revving n/a V8 in the M3. Also, I only run Amsoil
I love your videos. Straight to the point and no bullshit.
My C8 has 1100 miles and gonna do the same. Smart thing to do. Keeping the engine and tranny super healthy.
Thank you sir.
You’re very welcome! I appreciate it!
Isn't that a waste of money, getting a oil change so early? The minimum millage is 3k on cars
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.
You always worry about that first service visit until your car's service is done and you have a nice talk with your service manager and everything turns out great.
100%! It was great talking to Greg here because he really knows his stuff!
I had mine done on my C8 stingray and no issues at 5000 miles, then I kept getting a code trans axle system off! so they changed the oil and DCC filter again and no issues, and i got a new filter and it looked good!
Good job as usual gm for not having an access panel for a dct filter.
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.
As to the trans flush, just like your tech told you, a GM engineer told me that driving the car does exactly what the flush does at the Bash back in April.
Can’t wait to hear the AWE exhaust! Tell Sarah I am smitten.
Thank you!! I’ll let her know! 😉
Thank you for this video. I received a email from Onstar about getting an oil change after 1500 miles.. I was wondering why? But it makes sense of getting all the breakdown materials out of the system. Got a appointment with the dealership tomorrow!!!
This was very helpful!!! Hope to see y’all in person someday
You’re very welcome! We look forward to meeting you in person someday!
Thanks for sharing 👍
You're welcome! Thank you for watching!
Great Video - Thank you. Seems like you may be doing your oil & filter changes and DCT on your own in the future, are you comfortable doing that now? When he removed the DCT, fluid escaped, but I did not see him replace anything except engine oil - did I miss something?
There isn’t enough fluid, lost to worry about.
The service manual states that on the trans filter change you only lose 8 ounces of fluid
Car looks beautiful. I’m scheduled for my build on 10-5-23. Black z06 with the low wing. How are you liking your Paragon 15mm spacers?
Thank you! The spacers are PERFECT!
That Corvette is super clean!
Thank you!
Great video and I agree with the earlier filter changes and oil... but what about replacing the loss of transmission fluid that not only came out but what is absorbed in the filter... was that addressed?
Chevy says the fluid that comes out isn't enough to worry about. That amount will come out every filter change.
Thanks
Your car is nice asf! That Black is so clean!
Thanks, man!!
GREAT INFORMATION JUSTIN !!!! ZO6 IS SOUNDING BAD ASS !!! ENJOY THE REST OF YOUR DAY !! JESSE VIA LAS VEGAS
Hey justin, thx for the video..my bkack z06 is finally at the dealership..will pick it uo next week..question, i am a bit nervous wirh ppl i see online talking hiw the zo6 has problem with leaks, gasoline in the oil, annnnd the famous z06 engine tick...how big are these issues?????..thx!!
I didn’t have any ticking and the gas in the oil seems to be debunked as just the oil itself having a gassy smell. I would say, no worries.
Doing it tomorrow!
Do it!! Definitely recommend it!
take the filter and cut the pleats out and squeeze it in a vise and spray with brake cleaner, and then inspector for particles.
Excellent
Can’t wait to buy one
I just love those wheels.
They finally nailed it with the stock wheel setup on the Z06!
Good content.. 👍

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
💯
Do you think 2024 C8 StingRays are likely to keep having transmission issues like the 2020-2023s?
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!
I totally agree. It took a while to find this and I’m glad I did because just like you said these cars are nothing without a good place to get them maintained.
Justin
I changed my engine oil and filter at 500 miles
I have not changed the transmission filter yet, only 970 miles on my Z06 so far
I’d recommend doing it around 1,500
Will do !
Justin when will plan to do next oil change? Are you doing it at 7500 next or sooner.
Probably sooner. I’ll do it myself next time.
Expect my exact same video tomorrow since Steve and I are doing this. Go ahead and send your thumbnail over now. I can copy and paste your title. Don’t worry. I won’t mention your video. 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣 right?!
Yes very good one is so true 👍
Any recommendations on how to find dealerships with corvette techs in your area? I’m in northern california so they might be hard to find
The same way I did is the only way I know of and that's just randomly calling until you find one. Even after I located this one I went there to talk to the Corvette tech first before trusting him with anything.
Great video. I assume the 12 month rule for oil changes still applies for the low mileage cars.
That’s what I live by!
Man. Theae new corvettes are nice but which? Z06, Eray, Stingray with Z51? 3LT ?
Where did you get your Z07 Rear wing from and who installed
Sigala. They installed for me. You can save 5% on their kit by using HPO5
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?
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.
Hey Justin did the yech say anything about a torque spec for the dct filter bolts? Just curious.
He did, but I don't remember exactly what it was. I can try to find it for you, though.
Torque spec on the transmission filter cover bolts is 6NM or 53 lb in.
@@scottschulz2831 thanks scott
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.
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).
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.
Saw the tech used a floor jack under the engine. It looked like the lift arms were too high. That would scare me jacking anywhere but where the jacking pucks go. Did you ask about that.
Did my Z06 @1200 miles.....same thing, Oil & trans filter.
That’s the way to go. You can’t change this stuff too early and for the potential reliability it could give you in the future it’s worth it in my opinion.
Had that done at 2500, cheap price to pay for engine/trans longevity
Noticed the tech was using a floor jack prior to the car being lifted, any idea why ?
Totally agree! He was using the jack because my car was too low to go on the lift lol
At 4:34 there looks to be some oil leackage? Or is that from him loosening bolt? Also what is that song on the live stream just before you go live? Its like a house beat or something and she says give it to me?
I noticed that too and touched it off camera, it was just dirt. I don't actually know the name of the song, it's just a copyright free one available on the internet.
@@HorsePowerObsessed i was told by my friend at gm that there stopping production of z06 in 2026? Is this true?
@@markwhite6719 Not that I've heard but I do expect the Z06 to not run for long based on some other whisperings I've heard.
What is with the "exasperation" to start? I actually thought something was seriously wrong.
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.
Hay Bud, what did the oil/Trans service cost you?
First one is free. After that I was quoted around $600.
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
Ouch!! White Vette is SMASHED!!
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?
I would always recommend early changes. It can't hurt.
Thanks love your show.
? do they usually jack the car up from the back end first with a hand jack? Is that a normal jacking point?
The rear differential is always a good jacking point.
@@HorsePowerObsessed Good to know. Thanks
What u do to your car it looks awesome that color.
XPEL ppf and ceramic coating! 🤘
@@HorsePowerObsessed I can't wait to I get mines and the amg gonna be a sick line up
What’s the estimated cost for this service? Basic oil change and transmission flush. Sounds like a big expense!
Around 600 dollars if done outside of the first maintenance service.
You said you bought three filters for 75 bucks, are you planning on changing them yourself won’t that void your warranty?
I’m going to do the changes in between GM recommended changes so no. It won’t void warranty as long as you also get them changed at the recommended intervals by GM.
I’m waiting for 5k miles 🤞
Hey justin,
Which phone holder do you use for your vette brother
ProClip 👍👍
@@HorsePowerObsessed thanks
@@HorsePowerObsessed 👍👍👍
Hi Justin. Totally want to pick up those strut covers. Your HPO code for Paragon didn't work today.. Do you have a new code?
Thanks bud!
Working on a new code, stand by!
@@HorsePowerObsessed Fantastic. I can't wait to order those covers.
Oh and I just bought 10 quarts of M1 5w50 from Orileys. It came in like two days...lol
Nice! Lots of backordering out there so you got lucky.
Is this an out of pocket cost or does it come with warranty or something when you buy the corvette?
You get one for free then the rest you pay for.
@@HorsePowerObsessed does one free one include both the oil change and the transmission filter change? I just bought a 24 Vette and literally didn’t even know till I saw your vid 😂
Mine 2000 miles, just got Lemond car approved, waiting on the replacement 😂
Ouch.
What was the fluid at 4:34 mark?
It was not fluid, it was dried up from something on the road.
No personalized plate?
Coming soon!
Ugh. Sucks for the damaged Z06.
Agreed but he's using it to the fullest extent!
I'm pulling my oil every 2 or 3k. Why not? It burns oil.
I did the dct filter myself at 7k.
I plan on doing the DCT filter myself every oil change from here forward.
Will you change the oil every 7500 miles after this?
Will you have one of yours at Pitt Race 10/18 ?
What event is it?
Track night in America
@@vipdriver5457I may look into this. My car is at AWE getting an exhaust right now but we'll see.
All new first year models gave issues/ recalls
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!
Was this Cochran in Cranberry?
Indeed it was. If you go there let them know I sent you.
Did he top off your transmission fluid?
No. GM states that through the filter change process such a small amount of fluid is lost it isn't needed to top off.
WOW that was my question too... I'm surprised!
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- 😊
The Z06 doesn't need the extra 2 quarts. It comes from factory with that added already.
WOW- thats kinda shockin' amigo - my 2015 Z was serviced at 750 miles #NoMetalBits
DCT filter, engine oil and filter changed at 550, 2300 and 3900 miles by me so far on my Z06…..
Along with engine oil analysis every change and one transmission analysis as well.
That’s the way!!
Those fluids didn’t need changing Justin. So why???
The oil has break in material in it (metal flakes, etc.) and the transmission has the same. Why let that gunk float around in there longer than necessary?
That rear wing is starting to grow on me. It looks sinister from certain angles but it only looks terrible if you look at it directly from the back view.
also, beware of ebay purchases for cart parts such as that, so many fakes. I'd spend a little more to make sure it's genuine.
I did verify it was genuine. Sealed GM box with the OEM GM tags/part numbers/sealed packaging.
Lol am I the only one that saw a leak at around 4:34 as he's saying no leaks at least?! Oil pan or rear main
Not a leak, it’s a stain from something on the road.
What? I had it all done at 1500 miles. I was told to do that. Interesting….
I would have told you the same. The manual/GM calls for it at 7,500 miles which in my opinion, is too long.
