I got one Friday.

I have been using Gummi Pflege Stift for the past 20 years with no complaints. 🤷🏻‍♂️ https://www.amazon.ca/nextzett-91480615-Gummi-Pflege-Rubber/dp/B004B8GTQG

Agreed, the GM Service Adviser should be able to look up any service done by them on your Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) in their system (if they want). That would indicate to me, to find another dealer.

i was under that same impression as it was like that. I think GM is lenient on that issue now. I waited well over a year for my speed shaped model. At one point, I called Corvette Concierge to inquire. Not sure if that helped though. And if you are referring to Spring Mountain, call them...

As insignificant as some claim (and it may in fact be minuscule) but there is a life expectancy with Mobil 1 synthetic oil. This past summer, all that attended the IMSA Corvette Corral at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park were treated to some very informative seminars. One of which was an engineer...

Thank you 1st Vette, and Gilles27. All great information! I've had more than a few people ask me how to positively identify the DCT in a C8 without ripping the car apart. Some time ago, a prospective buyer was looking at a used 2020. He suspected the DCT had been replaced. He didn't drop...

I would ASSUME the difference between a Die 1 and a Die 2 DCT would be the oil pan change from a stamped steel pan with 13 bolts to a cast aluminium pan with 17 bolts, and a recessed groove for its gasket? But there must be some numbers on all the DCT somewhere confirming what they are?

Does anyone know what the difference is between a Die 1 or Die 2 DCT? How do you identify them? If you've bought a used C8 and want to confirm what DCT you have, there must be some kind of identifier on the transmission? Correct me if I am wrong but the following would seem to be factual...

As for engine oil… I was at a Mobil 1 Tech Talk last weekend and the engineer said it’s better to store your car with clean oil.

Stabilizer and/or a full tank of ethanol free fuel, preferably run through the engine a bit. (Shell V Power Premium Fuel).

All service advisors and mechanics are not created equal. Ask for Marlinda next time you are in Nurse’s service bays. She has gone above and beyond the past 3 years for me. If she does not know, she will find out for you. No BS. I have seen lot of C8’s pass through that dealer, including a...

Agreed! Here’s an inexpensive idea. I just replaced the two 7mm bolts holding OBD port on with security screws. Turn the port around backwards so the plug is facing into the bracket. Although not impossible, It would be time consuming and a pain to get at it. I know because every time my car...

Cruise route update… https://www.facebook.com/share/S1aVPAeSf1V7JGff/?mibextid=WC7FNe

Looks awesome. Guess I need to order from the US 🤷🏻‍♂️
