2016+ C7 Grand Sport Corvette (LT1) Fluids

2016+ C7 Grand Sport Corvette (LT1) Fluids

Fluid levels on the late model GM cars have been notoriously low from the factory,  It's a good idea to change your fluids early in the motors life after break in anyway due to potential metal shavings from new parts.  Plus your fluid can become dirty quickly and should be replaced frequently.  Personally, we change the fluids at least annually on our performance vehicles and we only use AMSOIL!  From the engine oil, to the transmission and rear differential oil, you'll find it here!
