Teammate Bob B having 2,570 Miles on his 2020 C8 Z51 sent a sample of the used DCT fluid to Blackstone Test labs to analyze and report
Bob has done several hard launches and high RPM drives
Below is their findings :
The test lab will store the analyzed results on file so when Bob sends them other DCT samples as more miles are driven then Blackstone will compare the newest samples with older test samples of Bob's DCT fluid
And then analyze newer sent samples as received and then cross compare with the older samples Bob sends them Over time, then Bob will be able to see if anything shows degrading before problems occur as Blackstone sends Bob PDF reports and also maintains results on file for Bob
Here you see their findings and the types of metals seen in this first 2,570 miles driven but in short even with the few miles on this DCT fluid they recommend the fluid be changed soon to flush out the metals seen now
