15K Maintenance

I have 15K on my 2013 SS. What maintenance should I be doing? I do race it, A LOT.


I change the oil and filter every 1000-1200 miles.


How often should I change the trans fluid? (4L80e)

How often should I change the diff fluid? (ZL1 3.73)


When should I change the coolant?


Do I need to service the coolant in the LSA SC?



Is it important to flush and change brake fluid?

There is a old saying "the best oil is the one that's changed often".

I say drop it all and refill with fresh oils/fluids new tranny filter too

I’m guessing that it’s probably the one a few threads down that has a very similar title and content that might just be the straw that broke the camels back

And might as well regrease the cv joints or just buy new axles.

In that dirty dusty climate you live in, I'd probably change the air filter every once in awhile.

Thanks, I forgot about the air and cabin filters. I wash and reoil the air filter every 6 months or so. Is that good?

I hit all the zerk fittings every time I change the oil. Is that too often. I also use synthetic grease, is that the right stuff?

Don’t forget to rotate the wiper blades too. Very critical.

No floor mats, weight reduction.

No wiper blades or fluid, weight reduction. I even removed the fuse, every gram helps.
