Maintenance & service for C8
Is there any info re; Maintenance & Service of C8's? Being Mid Engine are they going the way of Porsche & Ferrari when it comes time for a major Maintenance Service where the Engine has to be removed???
My C6 has been a perfect Car & I can't believe how low the Maintenace & cost of Maintenance has been.. I'm grateful & glad though....

It's still just a small block Chevy with timing chain and not a belt. There wouldn't be any maintenance service that would require a motor drop. If it lost a head gasket it would probably be much easier out, but not for maintenance. Plugs are 100k and those will be done from underneath.

Count the number of times you had to pull the motor out of your C6 (I’m assuming the number is zero). That’s probably the same number of times you’ll need to drop the motor from the C8..

chevy said that the oil cooler need an engine out if it goes bad but besides that, they made it clear it’s not a big deal for basic maintenance
