Default How do I change my oil

How do I change my oil with the dry sump? Is the drain plug on the sump or is there one on the oil pan like conventional cars? Thanks.

I changed mine on Sunday, 729 miles. It's easy.

Sometimes, in these instances, the best tool in the box is the debit card.

There are 2 drain plugs on the 2006 Z06, and it takes a total of 8 quarts of oil.

Whatever you do, don't read the manual. Reading the manual is for wimps.
