Right around the corner in Newport News awaiting my incoming ‘24 2LT from new car detail PPF/ceramic protection in the next week or 2. Really appreciate all the videos and info! Keep them coming! 👍
Always informative. I did let my dealer change my filter and was under $300. Transmission drain and fill was $700. Don't think I will ever try the drain and flush but your video makes the DIY filter change doable. Thanks for your videos!
I did this myself right at 7500 due to it being past the time frame for Chevy to cover.. it was pretty easy, about a 6/10!on the DIY scale… toughest part was taking the filter cover off, I just wiggled it back and forth and it popped off.. excellent video! I used the ramps as well..
I’m going to do this myself as well. The first filter change was done by the dealer for free at 3450 miles before the two years was up. Not worried about the service computer initiated flush. I guess you didn’t have any trouble getting the filter bolts back in but you should have chased the threads on the DCT bolt holes with something to get any remaining lock tite out of the hole. I plan on using a copper .22 caliber bore brush when I do mine. Great video.
Just had my first service done but I will have to change the DCT filter again at 7500 miles. (Needed to use my free service before it expired) Shifts are noticeably smoother after the filter change. If I had a lift I would do it myself.
Thanks for the video. Can you possibly elaborate on exactly how you lifted the side of the car? What kind of jack, 1 or 2 Jack's? Placed where, how?.got any pictures of this lifting process?
Would it not be easy to cut out a circle on the belly pan to gain access to the DCT filter for the next time. We could put a rubber plug on the cut out so no dirt gets in there.
It would be very easy. Im assuming GM did not make an easy access port for the transmission for two reasons: they didn't want people farting with the filter as you do need some finesse to take it off & torquing it down in "inch lbs" and secondly to deter people from doing their own maintenance I.E. a money grab.
@@johnyoung4466I just noticed this was for the DCT filter. I thought you commented on the oil change video. You need a torque wrench in inch pounds (not foot pounds.). You can get one @ harbor freight for around $30. The torque spec is 51inch pounds. Very important.
There is no 'required flush' and no where does it state a hydraulic flush is mandatory in conjunction with the canister filter for warranty purposes. A dealer will perform a hydraulic flush simply because they can while doing filter service. Per the top 3 C8 engineers the C8 automatically flushes particulates through the filter periodically while driving. Now, at the 3 year mark from manufacturing or 45k miles the fluid MUST be changed. I obviously will not reach 45k miles by next year so I will be draining and filling it myself next December. I really feel tremec and the C8 team is being overly cautious as the fluid coming out even at 45k miles looks brand new.
My friend, your explanation is really very detailed, I wonder if you are interested in a free review of Atoto's car navigator or radio, which we will give to you for free!
Good job thanks for the info

Did you have to use low profile ramps? I'm thinking of getting the ramps at adv auto parts but not sure if it'll scrape the front lip

Great video as always
Mark, another great video. Wish we lived closer to each other, I would let you change my filter! 😂😂😅😅
Thanks.

Is there any warranty issues if you do the filter/oil change yourself? Thanks for showing how it's done.

Without removing the panel, changing the filter through the wheel well would probably make a mess.
Do you know the torque for the fill plug? Great video…
About 15-16 ft lbs
Thanks, tomorrow’s project.

Got it thanks.
OK you changed the filter at 7500mi but what about the required"flush". That also is required at 7500mi to maintain the warranty.
