Complete fluid change

I am looking for some help please, I am bringing my 2013 ZL1 out of storage here in WI and I am changing all the fluids with top of the line Amsoil. Does anyone have a reference guide to the amount of fluids needed for:

Antifreeze
Rear Differential fluid
Brake fluid
Transmission fluid

Thank you in advance for the help!!

Amsoil is not "Top of the Line". It shows the exact same wear metals in the exact some concentrations as any other quality oil that cost's 50% less....

Is it good oil? Sure.

Does it live up to all the hype and cult following? No.

Here's 3 outta 4 from the Chilton manual. For brake fluid 2 (maybe 3) 12oz bottles should suffice if you're doing a flush. If just a quick bleed than just 1 should be ok. Your car does have the big Brembo calipers so you may want wait for someone to chime in that has flushed in DOT 4 for track use, they'd have an exact amount they used.

Think the OP is saying their using the high tier version of Amsoil. Like Signature series. But, thanks for lettings us know it’s over hyped and has a “cult following”.

does the tr6060 capacity spec include the cooler and lines (essentially "dry") or just a drain and fill? going to clear out the cooler too next change so curious how much i should add afterwards, especially since its basically impossible to get even a gallon into the case at a time from past experience.

That half liter difference between the SS and Zl1 TR6060s is the cooler lines and cooler. When I put diff coolers on my cars they took approximately 4.5 quarts to refill with the cooler in place.

so the capacity spec DOES include the lines and cooler? so if i were to drain the transmission, lines and cooler it would take the full 4.whatever quarts to fill everything back up and be at the correct level in the mt case?
