Default 3 year DCT fluid change done

So today is my 3 year start of service for my 2020 HTC. Took it to my dealer for the fluid and filter change. I supplier 10 qts of fluid at $33 each and the filter at $130. So net was $460 for parts . I also used up my 1200 chev. points and walked out paying $180 for labor. I did remove the belly pan so the labor was quicker and cheaper. I found out talking to the tech that they needed to wait until the transmission cooled down to under 100*f to recheck the fluid level. So all is well so far and transmission was as smooth as before the change. Also the dealer took in a trade in for a new Z06. 2022 HTC and it's on their website. I'll post the picture below.

Amazing. Yes, those temps on your invoice are in the Hydraulic System Leak Test procedure, and the Level Check Procedures. Its impressive that the tech observed all that and put it in the invoice. The version I have for the leak test is at least 122 degrees, not 124 degrees, but it could have changed.

Their shop rate is $160/hr regardless of whether it's a Corvette tech or any other member of the staff.

Good that everything went well at the dealer.

Damn, some of the labor rates posted are high. The labor rates here are 130/hour - guess I’ll have to temper my criticism of the costs from now on.

Just an update as I also bought 11 qts of fluid. After the process was done the tech told me that he only needed a little over 9 qts to do the fill. He gave me back the 1 and 3/4 of the fluid back. I'll use it for the next filter change unless it expires .

I loved that car as ugly as it was. Hemi head V8 with twin SU's. Wasn't super fast but fast enough for a 18 year old kid. It was red when I bought it but needed a paint job. Had painted it Sonata Blue which was a nice power blue . Kept it for a little over a year and traded it for my 63 Daytona Blue Corvette conv.
