All mileage is in kilometers not miles. Notes from oil slip: "Did repair on tranny pan, so had to drain fluid." Previous fill was also Mobil1 LV ATF HP Blue.

Pretty frequent changes for ATF (nothing wrong with that). Is it a pretty easy process on the C7 or are you dropping a pan and replacing a gasket each time?
 
This time I replaced the gasket, not the time before. I also replaced the filter and all the drain pan bolts since there was one that kept spinning in its threads. I thought the threads might have been damaged and I would have needed to install a helicoil. However, a new bolt did the trick and it torqued fine.

I wouldn't call the ATF change easy since you actually have to jack up the transmission to get to the back bolts. Plus, in case you're wondering the bolts that hold up the transmission mount torque up to 32 ft lbs. I couldn't find that figure anywhere but in the service documentation. I used a pretty useful video:
