Default Rear differential

Do you have to worry about low fluid levels in the differential from the factory in the new 2018 Z06's? I changed the rear differential in my 16 Z at 2500 miles and it was low and dirty. Anyone have this problem in the new Z,s? Thanks.

They've had YEARS of problems getting the diff fill right. Coincidentally, my Z needed a new diff by 500 miles. I'd check it, or even change it if you can get at it easily, that's what the plug is for! When I looked though it didn't seem like it'd be fun to change.

It’s always a good idea to check All fluid levels on a new performance vehicle. My diff was barely 1/2 full when I bought it.
