Default Fluid changes with Z-51 option coolers?

I am planning to change the trans (manual) and differential fluids. Since my '08 coupe has the z-51 option, is there anything special I need to know to ensure the correct fluid level-- including the coolers?
Thanks

I would call East Coast Supercharging in Cream Ridge NJ

They probably are your best bet.

Good Luck

Thanks. I've been to ECS with my Camaro and they are great. Maybe Doug or one of the other guys will answer the post. If not, I'll give them a call.

I'm a Z 51 owner who changed my trans fluid about 2 years ago. I did nothing special other than drain and refill. I checked the level again after a few hours of use and was able to top it off with maybe another 4 oz. No big deal. I bought a cheap ($4.99) transfer pump from Harbor freight to make the job simple without spilling a lot of fluid.
