Great video Mike! Wish I lived in your neck of the woods so we can do mine! 😀 I had a painful experience at my local dealership…I am seriously considering a lift for my garage to do my own work. Look forward in seeing ur next video on adding the 2 additional quarts!
Couple of things…. You don’t have to take off the back plastic cover to get the metal cover off. It’s also necessary to do the DCT flush procedure before changing the filter or you’re wasting your time. Also, you need to get a torque wrench and not just keep cranking on the filter housing bolts. Very jealous of your awesome lift and well lit garage.
Yes, pretty piss poor job from the dealer leaving that mess under there. How would they know that it just might catch fire spilling oil all over the place!
Lock-tight lol .... OK , I was wondering why the ratchet was struggling to wind those bolts out the reason you had oil all over the bottom is they didnt want to take them off either 😬
Mike, you need to see my new video (@XpeedTactics) on what happened when changing my filter lol anyway I was going to install a Dodson 1 way valve to fill the dct with oil when I found a leak not sure if is tranny or the engine working on that now as soon I work with the issue I will post the video that 1-way valve is the easiest way and safer to put oil on the tranny.
You didn't appear to do the DCT "flush procedure" that is supposed to be done before changing the DCT external filter. Or did you do it but know show it? If you didn't do it, you are not meeting the required maintenance procedure to maintain your warranty.
@@mikesgarage6331 You can...if you buy the right tool and pay the subscription fee. But, that is not the point. If you are doing the filter change yourself instead of the dealer, without doing the flush procedure, you are not following the maintenance schedule properly and GM could decline to provide a warranty repair if you have a DCT problem down the road.
"Josh Holder said NOT critical if a DIYer to do a flush prior to DCT filter change. He said they actually have similar flush occur in normal driving". You can change the filter early as a DIY, and there's no harm in that. For the required maintenance at 7500 to maintain warranty, the flush should be done. Personally I'd have the dealer do the 7500 change so it is documented!
