Z06 Fluids/Maintenance
I got my Z06 last summer. I want to change my fluids in the spring for peace of mind. Not sure when or if they ever been changed before. Oil has changed already and will be again when I take it out of storage. Coolant has been changed before I put it away. The brake fluid will be changed with the brake job in the spring.
Anyway, I am looking to change the clutch fluid, trans fluid and diff fluid. Not sure what brand/kind to buy.

I used Amsoil in my 6 speed, and Rear Diff.
Wrote procedures on both too.

Hello neighbor 
Wow thanks for sharing those write-ups. I was going to have the local performance shop do this but the trans and diff seem very easy.
How do you like the amsoil? Notice any difference?
