I had the dealership change it, still makes the noise. Someone posted about a certain fluid to change it to. Can anyone recommend what to use? Thanks!!

correct part for the ZL1 is the "LS Dexron gear oil" part #88862624. All additives are in it already. Don't get fancy with other stuff...just get this as it is what was designed to go in the ZL1 rear. It is expensive at $20ish per quart. http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/results...umber=88862624

rule of thumb is make sure the oil you buy has the addtive in it or if you buy expensive fluid witout it you add it in. I am always nervous about dealerships. they pretend to know cars but many of them are marginal at best. On my Z06 I took the TSB to the dealer made sure they fluid they used matched the part number on the TSB and the problem was solved. On the corvette side many dealers just told the owner that noise and draging tires in sharp turns were normal. Thats how brilliant some dealers are.

Royal Purple whined A LOT in my '10 SS. I think I read somewhere here that Pennzoil Synthetic was good and had the additives.

Sellin Chevy's since '06

Royal purple whined in my rear end too. GM's solution was the LS gear oil used in the corvettes. For 10-12 SS cars it required an axle seal change over to accept the LS gear oil. I haven't heard of diffs being noisy on ZL1s. Just certain '12 and earlier SS cars...I'm curious as to what comes of this.

They did change my axle seals to change the oil when I brought it in. I`m going to go by and ask the service department what is on record what they used and did since my car is at G-Force.
