eLSD is the same across the GM lineup. I find it interesting that in the other GM models with the same diff it specifically calls for Dexron-VI. Though in the Camaro manual it only says 75w90 LS for V8 models. Gear & trans fluids are similar, would bet that you can use either.

Some clarity on the rear diff. Found this on the Corvette forum about the eLSD - this takes the ATF and wonder how often it needs to be changed? Prepping my car for AMP this week and will be using Valvoline Synpower 75w90!

It always buffles me when folks will search high and low to find an anonymous internet "expert" and then blindly believe their recommendations vs relying on owner's manual which keeps the drive line warranty intact for 5 long years. As to frequency: dont know how long youve had your car, but given it is a 2017 and given it seems like this is your first fluid change then id say: holy smokes!!! Read the owners manual: it has frequency of elsd fluid change (and other components) specified very clearly - depending on type of usage (street vs track). This would be time best spent and best advice received - IMO. Cheers! |

Was just curious and checked out the ATS-V, CTS-V, Corvette Z51/Z06/ZR1 manual they all say Devron VI ATF, started me down a rabbit hole. This link shows it is used in the diff but only the differential clutch portion, then diff fill good ole 75w90 LS. No more questions asked
My car only has 13k miles. I'm aware of the recommended service intervals. I get it haha Sorry to buffle ya! Cheers!

So with that said, I would follow the same drain and fill with the same fluid as has been written up in this thread. I have 900 miles so I am doing the oil and diff soon. |

Great write up, easy to follow and simple job. Here is a shot that shows both plugs.

Mine took about 1.5 quarts before the ooze or more technically about 1,400 ml's. At the time, thought I took on more due to lift angle but seems about right. One more quart gets me another change.

Jesus those plugs were on tight on my car. Way more than 24 lb-ft. I am a big dude and work in a shop all day, and I hurt my hand pulling on the wrench so hard.
