    Great! Definitely, a much easier method to fill the DCT fluid. About the same as some manual transmission fluid change.

    Take a look at Amsoil, they have a bottle pump kit that fits on bottle, has a hose, and you pump the fliud in. Used it to change the ATF in my 2020 2500 Silverado.

    Can you do a video or share a video/link on points for jack and jack stands? This car has me pretty confused compared to others I've worked on and I really don't want to mess something up.

    Good video, I would like to know how to check the Trans fluid level.

      You cant, there is no dipstick for the transmission. You add fluid to the side plug when the car is level and add fluid until it begins to drip out of the hole. It's full when the fluid starts to drip out of the fill hole. You can add fluid on top of the recommended fluid level if you track the C8 through the fill plug on top of the transmission but easier method is raising the driver side and fluid through the side hole fill plug.

    Super, Thanks.... Did you fill the funnel under the car or did you have to have a long lead out above drivers door high up? Thanks

      My wife was holding the funnel up high and pouring the fluid while I was holding the hose at the fill plug. Thanks for watching.

      @@SerhansGarage Thanks..What size tubing (O.D.) and how many feet did you need? Also, what part of car did you crawl under, wheel well? Was the under alum torsion plate removed? THANKS!!!!!

      ​@v.m.7228 the tube was 1/2 inch and length doesn't matter just as long as it's higher than the fill hole. I basically held the hose on place while sitting next to the rotor, You don't need to go underneath the vehicle.

    Is the DCT fill plug accessible from underneath instead of from the side? I understand why you didn’t want to go under the car given its jack angle and you had it jacked up using hydraulic jacks. But if someone has a Quickjack can they access the fill plug from under the car?

      I think you can access the fill plug from underneath without problems. However, if you don't angle the vehicle you won't be able to add the extra DCT fluid (I added 1 quart). If you are not wanting to add extra DCT fluid then just add fluid.to.side plug.until it starts dripping. If.you don't angle the car and want to add extra fluid.you need to add from the.top.of.the DCT but that is.alot of work.in my opinion.

      @@SerhansGarage Just so I understand you, if I put the car up on my quickjack (level) I can access the plug from underside and just fill until it spills out (thinking like how I do differential fluid?) and this gets a level that is OK as long as I am not tracking the car or driving with high G's?

      The C8 tires are asymmetrical and I meant rotatinging rear tires only side to side, but agree if all 4 were the same size as the Charger it would be easier
