Engine OilCaution
If you use the vehicle for racing or other
competitive driving, the engine may use
more oil than it would with normal use.
Low oil levels can damage the engine. For
information on how to add oil, see
Engine Oil028.
Be sure to check the oil level often during
racing or other competitive driving and
keep the level at or near the upper mark
that shows the proper operating range on
the engine oil dipstick. The LT1 and LT4 engines are factory filled
with 0W-40 dexos2 oil. 0W-40 dexos2
engine oil is approved for both track and
street use with the LT1 and LT4 (ZL1 only,
not ZL1 1LE) engines. 15W-50 full synthetic
engine oil may also be used for track use
and is required on the ZL1 1LE, but after
track use must be changed back to 0W-40
dexos2 for street use. See
Capacities and
Specifications 043.
Fuel
Consider using 100 octane unleaded gasoline
if the air temperature is above 30 °C (86 °F)
at a track event. Do not use any fuel with
conditions listed in Prohibited Fuels025.
Automatic Transmission Fluid
Transmission fluid should be changed after
every 15 hours of track use. Any
transmission level set or change should be
performed at your dealer.
Manual Transmission Fluid
Manual transmission fluid should be
changed after every 15 hours of track usage.
Tire Pressures
Tire pressure specifications are listed
in psi (kPa). Limit the vehicle weight to a
maximum of the driver and one passenger,
with no additional cargo.

Front License Plate/Bracket Removal
(ZL1 Only)
For track use, the front license plate and
bracket can be removed from the fascia for
increased airflow. Remove the license plate
to access the four screws that attach the
license plate bracket to the front fascia.
Water Deflector
If operating a ZL1 on a closed course in hot
temperatures, remove the water deflector to
increase airflow and improve cooling.
Remove the three bolts. Replace
immediately after track use to protect the
engine compartment from water intrusion.
Torque to 4.5Y(40 lb in).
Wicker Bill
A rear spoiler wicker bill is available for
LS/LT and SS with the 1LE package only.
If equipped with a wicker bill, use the
instructions for installation.
Underbody Air Deflector Tire Dam Kit
The underbody air deflector tire dam kit
provided with ZL1 vehicles reduces the
amount of aerodynamic lift on the front
axle for better handling. The original tire
dams must be reinstalled after the track
event. For installation, see the instructions
provided with the kit.

38 Vehicle Care
.Never scrub the hood wrap surface.
.Use a wet, non-abrasive detergent.
.Do not buff or apply polishes to the
hood wrap.
.Rinse thoroughly with clean water. To
reduce water spotting, immediately use a
silicone squeegee to remove water. Finish
with a clean microfiber cloth.
Pressure Washing
.Ensure the water pressure is kept below
14,000 kPa (2,000 psi).
.Keep water temperature below 80 °C
(180 °F).
.Use a spray nozzle with a 40 degree wide
angle spray pattern.
.Keep the nozzle at least 30 cm (1 ft) away
from and perpendicular (at 90 degrees) to
any graphics.
Cleaning Underhood Components
Caution
Do not power wash any component
under the hood that has this
e
symbol.
This could cause damage that would not
be covered by the vehicle warranty. Solvents or aggressive cleaners may harm
underhood components. The usages of these
chemicals should be avoided.
Recommend water only.
A pressure washer may be used, but care
must be utilized. The following criteria must
be followed:
.Water pressure must be kept below
14 000 KPa (2,000 PSI).
.Water temperature must be below 80 °C
(180 °F).
.Spray nozzle with a 40 degree wide angle
spray pattern or wider must be used.
.Nozzle must be kept at least 30 cm (1 ft)
away from all surfaces.
Finish Care
Application of aftermarket clearcoat sealant/
wax materials is not recommended.
If painted surfaces are damaged, see your
dealer to have the damage assessed and
repaired. Foreign materials such as calcium
chloride and other salts, ice melting agents,
road oil and tar, tree sap, bird droppings,
chemicals from industrial chimneys, etc., can
damage the vehicle's finish if they remain
on painted surfaces. Wash the vehicle as
soon as possible. If necessary, use non-abrasive cleaners that are marked safe
for painted surfaces to remove foreign
matter.
Occasional hand waxing or mild polishing
should be done to remove residue from the
paint finish. See your dealer for approved
cleaning products.
Do not apply waxes or polishes to uncoated
plastic, vinyl, flat paint, or matte or textured
finishes as damage can occur.
Caution
Machine compounding or aggressive
polishing on a basecoat/clearcoat paint
finish may damage it. Use only
non-abrasive waxes and polishes that are
made for a basecoat/clearcoat paint finish
on the vehicle.
To keep the paint finish looking new, keep
the vehicle garaged or covered whenever
possible.
