Corvette 1st Service Visit Timing Update

The Chevrolet Complete Care program (U.S.) has been updated recently to include an extension of the Included Maintenance timing requirements for the owners of 2020-2022 Corvette models (C8) (Fig. 11) to visit a Chevrolet dealership for their first service visit.

The timing for reimbursement for the first service visit has been increased from 12 months to 24 months. There are not any changes to the recommended maintenance schedule.

Owners should follow the Oil Life Monitoring system for all oil change needs. (Fig. 12) A break-in oil change is not needed.

TIP: The engine oil level must be checked when the engine is warm. Cold oil level in the dry sump tank may not indicate the actual amount of oil in the system. Engine oil is contained in an external tank, separate from the engine. Under normal operating conditions, the oil pan under the engine does not store any oil. If the vehicle has been parked for an extended period without the engine being started, some oil will seep back into the oil pan, which will reduce the amount of oil held in the dry sump tank and could result in no engine oil shown on the oil level indicator. (Fig. 13)

The Corvette Included Maintenance 1st Service Visit includes:

  • One covered engine oil and oil filter change, using Mobil1 oil and an ACDelco oil filter, within 2 years of ownership
  • Transmission fluid filter change (refer to Service Information document ID 5384826)
  • Multi-point vehicle inspection

 

Check the Corvette Owner’s Manual for the complete recommended maintenance schedule.

  1. As part of the Chevrolet Scheduled Maintenance Program, Corvette owners receive one service visit within 24 months of delivery. Review the Chevrolet Complete Care Guidelines available on GlobalConnect for owner benefits and coverage. The guidelines also provide information on submitting claims and reimbursements in the program. The Corvette’s maintenance schedule lists transmission filter service at 7,500 miles, which is also the approximate mileage when the OLM system will show 0% engine oil life.

    Hello. My name is Mark and I have a 2022 C8 customer that has been to another Dealer and told he cannot get his 1st Trans service covered, they did the Engine oil and filter change but told him The Transmission filter is not covered. The vehicle has 7k miles on it and he is the original owner . Could you help or give me any other information so that my Service Advisor can process this correctly ?
