Lifting from the Rear–Frame
Use only a service jack with a lifting pad
diameter of 64 mm (2.5 in) or smaller, and
thick enough to make sure the jack does not

Position the service jack and lifting pad
under the frame rail shipping slot
reinforcement.
For more information, see Doing Your Own
Service Work 0234.
Vehicle Storage
Be sure to inspect the engine air cleaner
before storing the Z06 and E-Ray models for
any length of time. Clear any leaves, dirt,
or debris from the air filter housing to
maximize engine performance and air filter
life. See Maintenance Schedule 0316 and
Engine Air Cleaner/Filter 0255.

Doing Your Own Service Work
{Warning
It can be dangerous to work on your
vehicle if you do not have the proper
knowledge, service manual, tools,
or parts. Always follow owner’s manual
procedures and consult the service
manual for your vehicle before doing any
service work. If doing some of your own service work, use
the proper service manual. It tells you much
more about how to service the vehicle than
this manual can. To order the proper service
manual, see
Publication Ordering
Information 0337.
This vehicle has an airbag system. Before
attempting to do your own service work,
see Servicing the Airbag-Equipped Vehicle
0 60.
If equipped with remote vehicle start, open
the hatch/trunk before performing any
service work to prevent remote starting the
vehicle accidentally. See Remote Vehicle
Start 012.
Keep a record with all parts receipts and list
the mileage and the date of any service
work performed. See Maintenance Records
0 323.
Caution
Even small amounts of contamination can
cause damage to vehicle systems. Do not
allow contaminants to contact the fluids,
reservoir caps, or dipsticks.

4. Remove the dipstick again and read thelevel on the cross-hatched area. Re-insert
the dipstick and push it all the way in
until it stops.
5. Turn the engine off.
When to Add Engine Oil
If the oil is below the cross-hatched area at
the tip of the dipstick, add 1 L (1 qt) of the
recommended oil through the oil fill cap
opening in the oil tank fill tube and then
recheck the level. See “Selecting the Right
Engine Oil” later in this section for the type
of oil to use. For engine oil crankcase
capacity, see Capacities and Specifications
0 325.
Caution
Do not add too much oil. Oil levels above
or below the acceptable operating range
shown on the dipstick are harmful to the
engine. If the oil level is above the
operating range (i.e., the engine has so
much oil that the oil level gets above the
cross-hatched area that shows the proper
operating range), the engine could be
damaged. Drain the excess oil or limit
driving of the vehicle, and seek a service
professional to remove the excess oil.
See Engine Compartment Overview 0238 for
the location of the external engine oil tank
dipstick and fill cap.
Add enough oil to put the level somewhere
in the proper operating range. Push the
dipstick all the way back into the oil tank
tube when finished.
Changing the Engine Oil and Filter
The vehicle requires a special procedure
when changing the engine oil and filter.
Follow this procedure closely.
1. Engine Oil Drain Plug
2. Drain Plug O-ring Seal
3. Engine Oil Drain Plug
4. Drain Plug O-ring Seal
5. Engine Oil Filter Cap
6. Engine Oil Filter Cap O-ring Seal
7. Engine Oil Filter Element
To change the engine oil and filter:
1. Run the engine at idle for about 20 seconds to return all of the oil back
into the dry sump oil tank.
2. Turn the engine off prior to draining the oil and remove the oil fill cap so the oil
tank can breathe while it’s draining.
