Diff fluid levels
Just wanted to add my experience to the other cautionary voices raised here.
I went to Bryner Chevrolet (Jenkintown, Pa) today for the airbag recall and to change the diff fluid after my first track event, as required in the owner's manual.
Was treated very well there.
The Corvette specialist (Spence) said the diff was down almost a quart. I had never checked it after picking up my new Stingray from MacMulkin over a year ago. No sign of leakage anywhere.
I just assumed that as many Corvettes as they handle, they would be on top of everything.
Fortunately, my first track event was a rain event, so didn't really get to wring it out.
No harm, no foul.

The differentials ship to GM with the fluid already in them. I think it a ploy to save the cost of 3/4 qt. of fluid on each car. My 2014 was also almost a quart low from GM, and dealers do not really think to check diff fluid ad part of the PDI.
