Wrong differential fluid in c6 z06
Hi guys,
The dealership here has given me wrong differential fluid, the car started to make bad noise in tight corners and roundabouts.
I havent used the car much at all since. What im wondering is if this will cause my differential to have permanent damage? Or should a oil change with the right fluid fix it?

The fluid is a 75w-90 without LS lubrication, and the idiot didnt give me a additive with it.
If they wont take responsibility i will just get new and RIGHT oil and change it.
I just hope this short term usage havent torn anything

How long have you been driving it that way?

Its fine.
if you added it go to a parking lot and start doing figure 8's to get the fluid to the packs.
Also helps if the oil is hot when doing this after a nice long highway cruise.

Sounds fine. Figure eights to get the fluid out to all the clutch plates and then check fluid level and top off if necessary.

Thanks for all the replies guys. Well i live in Sweden and the GM oil isint allowed by europe standards. So they gave me something that isint OEM.
I have talked with our Corvette specialist in Stockholm and he recommended Motul LS gl5 75w-90 and said that it works fine and that they always have used it.
My biggest concern is if my differential took damage during the short time without additive modifier

A bottle of modifier that many of you have suggested has reduced the noise alot but it is still there. Ive done figure eights and drove in circles etc but the shattering noise havent ceased totally

just get the additive in it and drive it. The short time you drove it did no damage. Its just a drain and fill so the plates had lube on them just not enough friction modifier. Go do some figure 8's to get the fluid worked in.
