Transmission Fluid Change Kits
It still amazes me how terrible the search feature is on this site.
I know this has been discussed but can someone point me to OEM fluid / filters I can order? I’m at 20k miles and plan to change mine early.
I have the quick jacks so will be a little tight be very doable.

as for fluid you can also get from Rockauto. Some stay with the gm dct fluid while others have had great luck valvoline dct which is 25% or less than the price of gm fluid.
i also have a quick jack and replaced my dct filter with gm filter at a few thousand miles. Fairly easy to do. There is a youtube video of a guy who has a stingray changing his transmission fluid - same steps as a z.

Genuine gm filters can be found on rockauto and amazon for a lower price than dealer. Be careful as amazon also has some non GM ones.

Good reason to ignore 50% of that you see on YouTube because it's created by morons who lack mechanical common sense.
