Interesting results from Blackstone. Good job, Brandon!

Looks like there’s no way to do an oil change without taking a bath in it with this car. Good DIY video Brandon. 👍

Nice work Brandon! Good information! And good call for getting analysis at Blackstone! Going to do mine soon and send to Blackstone as well!

Well done Brandon. Nice explanation to Z06 DYI'ers. Will further say, you are a man of taste. Love the color and spec of your Z06 and you aren't throwing non-value added gratuitous mods at it unlike other youtube presenters. Glad to see your oil analysis is on the money. PS. On a special car with special engine like the LT6, I personally would change the oil at 3K intervals.

I’m definitely doing mine every 3k miles

Thank you and I’m probably gonna change mine more frequently especially the trans filter after watching HPOs experience w his and the shifting. Will probably send some trans fluid for analysis to see what that looks like. Thanks for the comment !

@@dbmracing2019 and if Brandon and others are looking for a reason for viscosity degradation at 6K miles....likely due to the RPM redline of the LT6. Reason this matters is, high reciprocating piston speed creates viscous shear contributing to viscosity breakdown in general and why race motors as an example require more frequent oil changes. Viscosity of course not only modulates oil flow and pressure in the engine but also regulates oil film thickness for adequate protection aka no metal on metal. So changing oil at less than 6K miles is less about contamination. I wasn't sure if this was Brandon's first oil change but break in oil has different properties as well conducive to cutting and bedding of mating parts and why important to get it out of the engine early including shedding of metal from mating parts at initial break in.

I did the oil analysis, very detailed, when I did the oil change. and it's inexpensive.

Why’d you remove and replace the oil filter first? I would have done that last (not sure if it makes a difference)

Hey Brandon, I see some throttle body on your table in the KZread movie.Do you have the throttle bodies from Soler Performance on your Z06 and do you have any problem with CEL. Thanks

I do have them. No light but I do get a CEL on occasion from my cat delete piped which I delete. Comes on every 300-1000 miles. I’m happy w the TBs and the controller

Thank you for the fast response, I'm waiting here in the UAE on my Corvette C8 Z06 Performance. my intension is to do the Fabspeed Sportcats in combination with the Fabspeed Titanium exhaust, the Soler Performance Throttle Bodies and af course the Inventuri intake, I hope it's going to work fine together. Keep up the interesting videos.

@@RudiWeber-dr5qc that’s a great combo I’m sure you will love it! Plus some nice weight savings! I’m installing Corsa cat back next week suppose to save 31Lbs . Ur gonna save a ton of weight with that eventuri and TI exhaust

No matter what you thought about it, I think you put too much torque on the bolts anyway. The factory guideline values ​​are what ALWAYS must be followed.

That plastic drain plug makes ZERO sense.......what engineer thought that was a good idea? My LS9 has two metal drains, and if you want to go the extra mile, disconnect both oil lines to remove another quart+ of dirty oil. 11.5~ qts to fill-er-up after if you empty everything.
