Today I ordered the rear diff fluid and the engine oil filter on Amazon. Gonna swing by the stealership and pick up a case of the motor oil later this week.

I'm going to have the oil changed at 5000 miles, and do the diff and transmission at that time. Oil is cheap. Parts and labor are expensive. |

It wouldn't be fair to all the US owners, as this is a GM CANADA issue, but to get this on ASK AL would probably get to the bottom of the problem?
And much appreciated !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So no where in the manual does it say a 500 or 1,500 mile oil change is required.
I'm aware of the reports of shavings etc in the rear end fluid but why change the oil so early since it's not break in oil. Mine came with 0W-40 |

But other than that, yes, technically this engine would probably be fine to never change the oil on for 10,000 miles and you might never have an issue, and I'm sure somebody would claim so. On the other hand, you'll have people that change at 500/1500/3000/6000 etc. and never skip a beat. The secret to a well functioning engine is lubrication. Oil changes can never hurt. Besides the $100-$300 they may cost and the time, they have no downside. That's all. |

Becky and I both sat down and combed through the manuals and it wasn't there. I had originally planned an oil change in Memphis but decided to finish my trip and do it at my dealer that I trust and can possibly get some pics or video of the gear oil coming out. |

I have a new 2018 ZL1 vert, does it come with the magnetic drain plug or do I need to install this part like I did on my 2013? I also ordered the OW-40 oil filler cap.
