First Year Checkup Question
In February I will have had my 2012 Z06 for exactly one year.Other than a oil change, should I have the dealer change out any other fluids. Have about 6500 miles on it. It is my weekend warrior and I am sure many of you have good experience on what should be taken care of to keep this car running in top shape for many, many years. Thanks for your advice and help!

You might want to check your clutch fluid. It's most likely black and nasty looking. I've changed mine in my 2013, 427 vert a couple of times.
Use the Ranger method and it takes all of about 5 minutes. I try to change mine every couple thousand miles. Do a search on the Ranger method and you should get detailed instructions, very easy and cheap to do. I think that should do it...
