Serviceability....
Ever since my wife won't allow me to use Rhino ramps get under any of our family's cars to do oil changes anymore. With the except of our C7, Jag, & BMW which has free/included oil changes for the first few years of ownership, we have a very reliable indy mechanic who has done over 40+ oil changes for all of our cars over the past 12+ yrs. We bring the Mobil 1 oil & filter, & he has always charge $20 for the service.
Now with the Mid-Engine C8, wonder how much more difficult for him to do & if he'll still be able to do it for the same $20....

For an oil change ?
I don't see why it would be more difficult or require specialty tools.
How do oil changes work on the dry sump C7s ?
My Aprilia motorcycle, which is dry sump, has two drain plugs (1 on the oil tank, 1 on the bottom of the engine case) and a cover with 2 bolts to access the oil filter. It takes 10 minutes, and most of that time spent consists of removing and replacing the fairings.

Two drain plugs. Both of the drain plugs and the oil filter are easily accessible. No special tools. Nothing to remove to get to them.
