[QUOTE="YFCvii, post: 250360, member: 3252"] I am coming up on 5 years with my 2016 at the end of the month with 25k on the odometer. I am now with renewed Coolant, DOT3 Brake fluid, Rear Diff fluid and "Red Cherry" (new inside joke) A8 Mobil 1 Transmission fluid. Although trans pan gasket can be reused, we replaced with a new gasket & did the filter too - as we had the pan off. All performed over 2 Sundays with a known very knowledgeable and tool-equipped Corvette Comrade in Edmonton. An awesome friend and this was absolutely great non-driving Corvette "fun". I drive away a little lighter in the back pocket and seeing & knowing everything that was removed, was reinstalled and torqued to specification. Much better overall experience than worrying about who is doing it at a dealership ... (perhaps just me when thinking this). We actually found a few misc things that needed to be remedied while it was noticed - I was surprised by what was found. Although I never had the C7-A8 shudder issue ... I do notice the A8 shifting difference now that I have just over 6 liters of Mobil 1 trans fluid added in it ... sweet. I also experienced a no-start event between the 2 Sundays with just "click-click-click" and the driver door not being able to close because the window was fully up. I plugged in my Schumacher Maintainer and it displayed "charging 6V" across the screen ... so New Battery replacement. I was surprised how quick that battery died after driving the previous day. Wow ... whatta chore to remove the battery but knuckles heal. I am now good to go on a day cruise with the '21RMCC in a few weeks. Looks like I have a "to-do" list to be on top of for the upcoming 5th year of our "not his" 2017-C7. a few pics …. for those who just like to look at photos (sorry no damaged knuckles photo) [ATTACH alt="46E3B247-089B-4268-9910-FECB5E037BE1.jpeg"]83905[/ATTACH] [ATTACH alt="C520B1CD-0DAF-4F49-AE9E-3019FE05E622.jpeg"]83906[/ATTACH] [ATTACH alt="07BF8658-4759-42C6-9E06-9362F7C7B4C8.jpeg"]83907[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
