Check the oil level often during track events
and competitive driving. See“Checking the
Engine Oil" in Engine Oil (5.5L LT6 Engine)
0 246 or
Engine Oil (6.2L LT2 Engine) 0249.
Engine Cooling
If reduced performance is experienced during
track events or competitive driving, turning
off the A/C will help to improve engine
performance.
Maintain a mixture of 40% DEX-COOL
coolant and 60% clean, drinkable water to
optimize engine performance.
For vehicles with the optional Grille Screen
Guards (VWE), remove them for track events
when the ambient temperature reaches
32° C (90° F) or higher. See your dealer for
complete procedure.
If equipped, remove the front license plate
and bracket (if installed) and remove the
front aero covers before track use. See your
dealer for complete procedure.
Fuel
Unleaded gasoline, rated at 93 octane or
higher, is required.

and compounds that may damage the
vehicle and void the vehicle warranty. See
Prohibited Fuels 0227.
Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) Fluid
The transmission fluid and external canister
filter should be changed after every 24 hours
of track use. Change the fluid and external
canister filter as soon as possible if
prompted by the transmission fluid life
monitor that remaining fluid life is low.
With the transmission at factory fluid fill,
there is no additional fluid needed for track
usage. Any transmission level set or change
should be performed at your dealer.
Front Hybrid Drive Unit Fluid (E-Ray)
If equipped, the front hybrid drive unit fluid
