SS 1LE First oil change - Break in procedure
Hi everyone:
I'm approaching 500 miles and I'm planning on doing the first oil change. I was wondering what else fluids do I need to change besides oil change? Asking because I read the manual and hp supplement, I didn't find anything other than first oil change at 500 miles. Based on what I read here, I listed a couple of things.

I would suggest doing rear differential with your first two engine oil changes, my 1st one looked quite yucky, my second one looked better. Now I just do it every season.
As far as your transmission, I am not sure what everybody’s doing with the m6 for break in , it’s easy enough to do so that’s a bonus. |

Definitely the rear differential from what I've read, but I don't think the transmission fluid is required.

I did the LSD (GM) and tranny (Tremec) at 500, 25k, and 50k. Seems to work well.

I have seen some people do swap out the trans fluid to something else and it might help make shifting a bit smoother. My 1-2 and sometimes 2-3 shifting can feel a bit more notchy and crunchy than I like until it gets temperature into the fluid. I have read that a different fluid can help with that. I would definitely do the diff fluid with the oil at 500, and if you want, do so again at 1500, then I follow the oil life indicator. People always say this is a waste but it gave me more peace of mind. I found the magnetic drain plug had material on it both times. Also, make sure your coolant levels are correct. There are two tanks. A lot of people had the expansion tank below where it should be from the factory, myself included. Main tank filled all the way up and the expansion tank to the cold line. Procedure to fill is in the owners manual.
