2014/2015 Z51 and Z06 Corvettes – Additional Required Maintenance
The following message only applies to dry sump Corvettes that have not had their first oil change performed.
Some 2014/2015 Z51 and Z06 Corvettes may experience a condition that leads to oil leaking out from the air cleaner assembly. This condition may be caused by running the engine continuously at a high engine speed with the first factory fill oil, resulting in silicone sealants in the engine’s gaskets degrading the oil’s anti-foaming agents. The oil foam has no effect on the engine’s durability.

Old news. This TSB was announced Nov 1, 2014 (which is why there is no mention of the 2016's.

Nothing changed for 2016 except the 500 mile change for dry sump engines is specified in the owner's manual for 2016 so no need for a separate TSB.

Once and awhile it is a good idea to check if your car has a TSB or Recall at the NHTSA site.

If something is there that is important you can get it in for service before it can cause a problem.
