- Buying A Car Doesn't Have To Suck™️
At 7500 miles the required 1st maintenance on your 2020 Corvette is oil change and DCT (dual-clutch transmission) filter change. Both items can be done for free from your local Chevy Dealership. In this video I show you how to get it free and how to do the DCT filter change. This should be done by tranied pros. Don't do this at home.

Per the owners manual, DCT filter change at 7,500 miles, then at 22,500 miles then at 45,000 miles. DCT fluid change at 45,000 miles.
"The initial transmission
canister filter change must be performed at 12 000 km (7,500 mi), and every 36 000 km (22,500 mi) thereafter."
I do not this to many vettes will last 45,000 miles, still too many flaws
Owners manual, says 7500, 22500, and 45000 for filter replacements.
Just an FYI you need to do the valve flushing procedure prior to removing the filter to send all the contaminants in the passages into the filter. Dont just pull the filter without doing this.
That procedure was only recently put out by GM as a result from the various DCT issues that have occurred on some C8s lately. It didn't exist when they made this video.
@@skylerallens I saw your comment about this on another video about DCT filter replacement. Just to confirm, it IS required to flush the valves prior to removing the filter and that does require Chevy's MDi tool, right? Although it's outrageous what the dealership charges for this service, it sounds like, by the time I paid $500 for an MDi tool, and $200 for the filter, I couldn't do it any cheaper myself. Plus the dealer would probably attempt to deny any transmission related warranty claim if I did do it myself, claiming I did it wrong (even though I'd probably put more care and attention in to it than the dealership)
Hey Chevy Dude… great job and thanks for that information. It’s refreshing to see a dealer, that is service oriented. Many are not, and you do not want those people taking care of your baby. I have bought nothing but new vehicles for some years now, and I look at the consumer reports. They are drastic from dealer to dealer, don’t buy from one that does not believe in customer service.
More of this. Just watched a video on how to change the oil. It's very straight forward. Love how routine maintennace isn't a pain in the a** and therefore not a pain in my pocket book.
I do 95% of my own work. I’m a show me kind of guy. I know if I do it it will be done and done right. I will but all the screws back. Thank you for the video.
Thx for your informative videos. I’m an old man really lucky to get a C8 and am loving it. I have 2200 miles on it now.
Seems only old man can afford new corvettes
Thanks for the info. I can’t wait to get my 2021 C8 allocation.
F
Very informative video and tip on getting the 7,500 mile transmission filter service done for no cost.
Good detail in the video, appreciate the closeups.
As an old Chevrolet mechanic during the 60s all those screws and bolts remind me of the corvair and all there cooling shrouds all into aluminum
Thank you for the information for us C8 owners. When you changed the transmission filter, not.much fluid came out but some did. Why would the dealer not put more into the transmission? I know this is a big process but what if the trans fluid was already low?
Thanks.
Good VLOG! Looks very easy as long as you can get to it with a lift or something. Great to know about the Chevy covering the cost of the service.
It’s nice to know that the service is free, i’m looking forward to getting my c8
Nice to see that the maintenance isn’t too difficult!
Yeah, it's easy if you have a lift too...
Thanks for the info, I didn’t know this filter existed on the dct.
Wow that is a loud wrap. 👍
OMG. Did I see a drain plug in the stock transmission pan. That's one of my biggest peeves on automatic transmission not having a drink plug. Way to go GM
Love the mechanical how to videos! They are appreciated and informational keep them coming thank you!!!
Good to know thanks for the info. Nice talking to you yesterday thanks for your time Mike.
Actually looks pretty easy!
That's good for future 2nd & 3rd owners.
Always interesting... Gotta love that wrap... It never gets boring !!
It's great to see Tech tips and any other C8 content you can give
Looks like the hardest and most time consuming part about the dct filter change is getting the underbody shield off
Called the “shear plate”-FYI
Do you add trans fluid after loosing some
Don't need to. Probably lose only less than an ounce of fluid once you pop the filter cap off. Nothing to be concerned about.
Very informative 👍
Are you not doing vlogs with Mrs Chevy Dude any more?
I like the maintenance informational segments.
Great information! Always informative. Great cost saver.
I had no idea there was an expiration on the 7500 mile complimentary service and now the dealers are going to charge me $1000 for the service
Thank you Mike as always very informative
Very informative video. Thanks for posting.
Thank u 4 da maintenance training.
Hey Mike,
Keep up the great work. I always look forward to your great videos.
Still waiting for my TPW on my convertible. Do u know where i can buy a white high wing?
Did you reset the AT FLUID FILTER LIFE PERCENTAGE
you lost me at 20 bolts....
At 4400 miles my C8 would not start. I researched & many others are having same problem & also discovering transmission fluid leak.
My C8 has never been tracked, never launched. Too many C8 owners reporting same issues.
Just a question, if I'm buying a C8 to track, why doesn't Chevy offer as an option or make it standard on a Z51 package that the 2 additional quarts of transmission fluid needed to track a Corvette be put in at the factory during assembly? Why make it difficult and expensive for the customer right from the start...
If plan to track it. Just tell your dealership so when they PDI they can add it. That’s the factory’s solution and it’s the correct one.
It is not a correct solution it should be there from the z51 get go.
@@ST-bk5uf I agree. If you order Z51 it means you are probably going to track the car. It should be standard on that Z51 option. It should be optional on the base without Z51. The labor to add 2 quarts of transmission fluid is pricy in addition to the 100 dollars for the fluid. Like Chevy dude said in the video "Tons of labor". Tons of labor is tons of money. And I know it's more labor to add the fluid than to change the filter.
I have a 2020 z51 pre production corvette with 4,300 miles. It is giving me the change oil soon message. Is this because of a timer perhaps?
Should I ignore it until it gets to 7,500 miles? I’m afraid to turn the dealer monkeys loose on it any sooner than necessary especially for the DCT filter.
I’m sure bolts will be lost and probably they’ll pry the filter out and use power tools where they shouldn’t. Makes me want to do it myself but I’m a 50ish woman.
Are there any dealers in Texas or California with designated corvette techs?
No torque settings for any of the bolts? I figure the one for the oil cannister is hand tight only (53 in-lbs apparently). But the ones for the panels (the 10mm, 13mm and Torx E16) should have some sort of torque setting. Got a clue?
Man I wish I found out about you sooner I end up getting a 2014 town and country from this dealer and I been having nothing but trouble as soon as I get it had to change the brakes it was metal on metal then the check engine light and stability light came on at the same time and sometimes I use the a/c glass shards come out of it so ya I don't have the best of luck
Awesome work! Thank for sharing!
Great and informative as always. Big fan.
hi Mike. nice vid. liked b4 watching b/c i knew it was going to be good
First, and great vid👍
The oil that was lost from the filter cavity does not need to be replaced? If so how do you top off the fluid level?
Chevy dude, aftermarket air filters are usually available and claim to boost horsepower. Any proof of this, and are there any you would recommend to get us rounded off at that 500 horsepower mark?
This will help me a lot thanks
Love the warning no power tools.
I wish I even had a transmission filter on my POS sled. Has your Corvette seem to run a little better as your vehicle breaks in?
I recently took deliver of my C8. The dealer told me about the free first oil change, but not the free DCT filter replacement. Is the free DCT filter replacement stated in writing somewhere?
Why isn’t the fluid flushed and replaced also?
Chevy Dude, What is the latest on Radiator Grill Guards ??? I like the look (and protection) but GM TADGE JUECHTER said it may void the warranty suggesting heat in the transmission.
Based on what you know about C8 maintenance, would you recommend the "lifetime" warranty? And, would you do the transmission oil change yourself?
Thanks Mike. Cool video.
Horrific paint job, great video.
Wondering how many auto repair places will be using air tools on those bolts and a flat head screwdriver. Also not that familiar with DCT but every 7500 miles to replace the filter seems excessive but if thats what GM calls for so be it.
Another comment says that the manual says to change the filter at 7500 miles the first time, then every 22k miles afterwards. So I guess it’s just due to break-in.
Don’t you have to top off fluid when you change Dct filter?
Cool video great too see how to do it! 🤙
I noticed an opening for the oil filter. Could you cut a similar opening for the clutch filter?
There’s a reason it’s not cut. I would not
Probably because the oil filter looks to be a conventional screw on type and located close to the panel so you don't need as much access room to remove and replace. The DCT filter being a cartridge style with a separate 4 bolt cover and an O-ring as well as further up inside the compartment needs more room to be able to push the filter in a click in place. You need to make sure you get the cover straigh in to insure O-ring seats properly as well as to hold it in place while getting the bolts started.
Also the access hole is mostly filled by the bottom of the air filter minimizing the amount of air forced up into the compartment and any airflow turbulence that could effect down force. An access hole for the DCT filter would be wide open meaning it could create a considerable amount of turbulence. Also the extra labor cost at every 7,000 versus every 75,000 miles would add up considerably.
Hey Mike,
Did you figure out the cost per DCT filter change? Is this covered under a service package (is there a service package for the C8 and can you share the cost of it?)
The filter is $165/ea plus tax and s/h from Paragon. With the 13+ qts @ $39/ea (with the 2 additional) you are looking at $633 plus tax and s/h do do the trans flush yourself. Note the service interval for trans fluid replacement, unlike most vehicles that can go typically 100k miles.
I thought you had to run a computer program when you change the filter?
In Mexico they don’t pay nothing if you have a C8 we have too pay everything here if you have one 😩
7,500 MILES? I drive that much per month, just kidding. Do you get any reminder on the dash for this maintenance?
Hey Dude
What's GM price for just changing the DCT Filter?
GM says the first oil change doesn't have to be done till 7500 miles like the transmission.
Why is it that you don't have to change the oil at 500 miles like most new cars. Does the C8 mid engine have different specs so it doesn't require a 500 mile oil change? Like you said in the video you and someone else did an oil change early that wasn't needed.
Thank you,
Mark
Looks like you have the rear brake (for track use only) cooling scoops mounted.
I do. I want them on because I drive fast a lot
Why did it go from $400 to $1,151 to get the service done ? Might start doing this myself
The vette that dropped off the lift was local to me.... they also dropped a brand new 2020 truck because they used a lift not rated for the weight.
Any pics?
Slightly off topic: How far does the Chevrolet WiFi extend outside the car (when its on or in accessory mode of course)??
I love ur vids can’t wait to see more C8 vids
Any tips if your free maintenence expired. Was told that service is at 7,500 miles or within 12 months. Since I don't drive it often, by the time it hit 7.5K it was past a year and they no longer cover it. So my dealer wants to charge $688. Any recommendations?
Appreciate that information.
How about showing the refill? That's harder than the filter change.
Well when change all the fluid and why didn't you show how you would add it I'll keep my 15 and than I'll go back to the 70 thru 72 egg crate
5,000 miles oil changes sound better!
My dealer still saying DCT Filter not covered by GM.
Hello this is good information why did you not do the DCT flush per GM service document ID 5384826 ?
Did you do the computer hook-up hydraulic system flush prior to replacing the filter?
My dealer said that the DCT filter change IS NOT payed for by GM, I would have to pay the cost. Can you please post a picture of any Document showing the DCT Filter change is also payed for by GM?
I cannot find it listed in any of the C8 manuals, and need to have something to show the dealer that the DCT Filter change is also covered by GM>
thanks chevy dude
What have you done to that car's paint?! :O
I'll admit that the plain white was VERY plain, but that doesn't mean it needs to look like a 1980s TrapperKeeper that I might have had in grade school. :O
While I agree, he has stated multiple times that it is used for business and I would say definitely draws in attention, which is exactly what he wanted. His car was meant to draw attention and get more viewers to his channel, so I can’t really blame him for it
Do most dealers know how to do this service without screwing it up?
Did you dissect the old filter to see if any impurities or debris are present?
7:55 - DCT filter change every 7,500 miles?
Can anyone verify which type of socket to use for the bolts holding the aluminum plate? Are they E-Torx or EP-Torx?
might want to take those track only z51 brake ducts off
Thanks for info
Is the 2021 Silverado truck interior seats any softer than the 2019's?
how much transmission fluid has to be put back into the DCT?
Where did the podcast go?
I was hoping you show the oil change also
th-cam.com/video/IIbryNxWoY0/w-d-xo.html
im confuse, so you dont change the oil at 1500 miles, correct? change it at 7500?
3:20 for the start of the process
Are you actually taking deposits for the Z06? No dealers in my area are since they haven't officially been announced. I'd like to get on a list and be pretty cool to buy from you with museum delivery.
Best regards. Question out of the video. I sold my car to carvana for 11k and a was deposit only 9,800 . Already been 4 days and no rest of the money was deposited. Should I take legal action or just ask for the rest of the money.
Once again best regards
That so much easier than on my car
According to another site the oil fill bolt is a lot of work to get to. Undo the wrong bolt and you could lose the transmission 😰
Not true. There is one bolt visible. th-cam.com/video/IIbryNxWoY0/w-d-xo.html
We are talking transmission oil not engine oil!
Sadly, We consumers can't even trust mechanics to do this properly without messing something up.
I see why its labor intensive 30+ bolts to take off wow.
labor intensive? 10 minutes. With a lift it's a 30 minute job.
Great Video
