Deferring DCT Filter At 1st Service

[ScottyR]

The oil life monitor is mostly just a clock. Unless you are hard on your car the oil life monitor clicks down to 1 year.

I know but I am getting sick of the dealership call centre letting me know that I need and oil change and getting notices from GM telling me the same thing.

Just do the oil life reset procedure, as I'm sure you don't (like me) pay attention to the percentage anyway. Lots of YouTube vids on how to reset it. I did it once when I changed my oil last fall, it's pretty easy to do.

I am getting my 1st oil change done tomorrow. I made it very clear I do NOT want the DCT touched as I only have 3600kms on the car.

My oil life monitor is saying 19% oil life remaining. I should have unhooked my battery when my car was in storage all winter.

You can reset your oil life clock yourself. And the oil monitor actually runs off an algorithm. It has no idea regarding the quality of the oil.

I know a guy who doesn't listen to GM's money generating recommendations and resets the oil life at 1 year and changes the oil after 2 years.
A good synthetic oil can easily last 2 years on a gently used Corvette.

As long as it’s after the warranty has already expired

Warranty would only apply if they could prove it was an oil issue. Then they'd want receipts for the oil and filter the guy bought. A lot of ifs there.

Can you please share what the issue was that required replacement ?

Looks like his transmission broke

So you saw it yourself?

Is this your way of peacekeeping?

 

[Jack Raccoon!]

Yes. Engage the participating factions into meaningful dialogue, then mediate an agreed and mutually beneficial resolution...

Thanks guys! I had no idea they did a DCT filter for free. I paid $900 to do it on my 2020.

Me to on my 2020. The DCT filter changes were not covered during the 2020 model year.

Oil cheap. Engine expensive.
