Warning Message

Driving to the dealer for my 500 mile oil change on my Z06 and I get a warning message that says SERVICE REAR AXLE

What's up with that?

Hopefully not low fluid level but someone who knows the correct answer will probably be along shortly to help out. Don

Could get a scanner but why bother, it's already flagging the problem.
In any event this is something (IMO) only your dealer can remedy.
It's under warranty so while getting oil changed let'em have at the issue.

Tech called engineering.

Turns out there is a known problem with air pockets in the differential.

Tech is bleeding, draining, and refilling the diff
