C8 CORVETTE MAINTENANCE REMINDERS & DCT TRANS FLUID REPLACEMENT

Marginal note. I know there are two parts to that equation, yes there are the parts, how much and the labor, we have two different size retaining screws, okay the long ones go here on the filter neck, the short ones go here just to hold it, make sure not to. mix them up with what you're playing there, this is my high value torque wrench, we're going to tighten the filter to the 53 inch pounds that's required, so you've got the filter there, so it's tight now let's go. to clean this tray and clean the magnets, but yes, you were asking me about the liquid.

Well, you have to add the liquid, but you have to put it in two different places. Why is it okay here? If you look, this is the filler cap for the 11 liters. I think it holds 11.1 liters of

, but then if you want. to add the two extra quartz that you want to add back properly, you can't do it from this hole because in this hole it's at 11.1 liters, you're putting two liters above that fuel line, so you have to go over the top , okay, it's expensive where you take the back of the car, removing the air filter, but yeah, okay, look, ah, nice and clean, buddy, yeah, good job, we've got the tray nice and clean, we've got the new gasket. installed, you can see the magnets are now a little bit gray instead of black because we got rid of all the debris that was on them and we're ready to reinstall them fantastically and now you're fixing the DCT filter, the canister filter.

Canister filter compared to the other filter, it did its job and caught all the debris properly, but the liquid coming out is still clear, how does that arm feel? They're both feeling a little weak, as you can see, I'm falling apart when I'm pushing it, yeah, I know it's a lot of work, mate, especially when you're doing 11 liters, as you can see, we're just starting to run out of one, two, three , four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, nine and a half liters in the system, it holds 11.1. liters, but of course, you're not going to get it all out by removing the pan, so it's a lot more work than you think, guys, wow, of course, you're just looking at the edited version, well, of course, what you've done. the last few hours, okay, we'll have some closing statements in just a second, then we'll move on to your beautiful attractions, oh yeah, once again this week, Chuck is counting just 12 leaders.

I saw you counting them, we have more. looking for cars for you guys to enjoy so thanks again for joining us now that we're done with this couple friendly

reminders

okay wait to see them on camera here so we can see everything okay friendly

reminders

first of all thanks for Don't empty its space for me to place the two extra monitors, that was fun. If they're going to do any of that work in the trunk area, he has to make sure they get all the junk out of it. I'm sorry. Dude, I still have a ton of stuff there from the trip to Houston, oh yeah, I know it's already there again, okay, and the second reminder is if you go to your first service or every time you've done something, always remind them that I've had the two extra leaders installed yeah so they don't pull you out to check it and your two extra leaders are running all over the floor right we covered a lot today man if you have guys doing stuff on their own for the breaks the tips The safety check I gave them was fantastic, the tire relearning was good, the trim

maintenance

is good.

I think you should do it once a year. You absolutely know if you use dielectric grease or something like that it will really help you, just be careful what you use. Like I said, you don't want to degrade the rubber and that's what I found with digital grease: it just absorbs into the rubber and helps repel water. Yeah, it's one of the reasons you like to use that, absolutely fantastic and then you have to see an oil change the last service the last time you want to say goodbye this is the last time you're going to see this car and you've seen it many times she has been a good girl she really has been it's like and I don't want to get sentimental and I appreciate all the work you've done we talk about it off camera you haven't had problems that a lot of the others have had so I'm grateful for that. well, and I think a big part of the key to that is you drive the car, you break it right, you break it wrong, whatever it takes, we did it and you didn't drive it, it went over the top, yeah, and it I do, I went up and beyond what I needed five DCT cartridge filters in there, a new one on the tree, really if I knew

looked like that I probably wouldn't do it.

I can't wait to see the construction of that, but we did it 15,000 miles before you did. I was supposed to feel like I didn't have as many track days, a couple of slow speed things, two high speed track days, but, you know, you just consciously know I wanted to do that, but now I know we talked about that today, We talk about Every Tech Tuesday, when we talk about the Corvette C8, the DCT filter is your first line of defense, my goodness, does it make a big difference? Oh absolutely, because you saw that the DC DCT filter was black, the filter at the bottom the only difference was that the new one still had no fluid in it, yes it was still the same color as the new one I put in, yes it was It's supposed to be black, it's supposed to catch all that junk, that's its job, yeah, that's why it's there, yeah, absolutely, I can't thank you enough for everything you've done to the car.

We have used this car on the channel to educate you, inform you to give you better ownership advice, help you learn from me. mistakes, that's what it's all about and I enjoy doing it and I can't wait to see what new adventures the new car on the channel will bring us.

I encourage you. you, that's my slogan, stop dreaming, start driving, keep driving, drive as much as you can, man, that's how you can really appreciate this car by driving it, whether you're on the track or not, just driving it, really it is.
