What type of oil do I buy to change my ZL1's differential fluid? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

For ZL1, use the GM lube in post #2 and you will be fine. 2.1 quarts. Fill your emptied rear end until the fluid dribbles out the fill hole or you hit the 2.1 quarts, put the plug back in, tighten, and you're done.

Follow the lube manufacturer's guidance for non-GM lube.

Nope, read the label in the photo above, and you may note both part numbers!

Delco 104034 = GM 88862624, they are the one and the same product DEXRON LS GEAR OIL 75W-90, which is "badged" by Delco and GM.

The actual manufacturer is..

Nope, rest of the world is the same. Correct, Canada has a different part number.

I took mine to the dealer to have it changed. They had to flush and fill 3 times to clean the clutch packs. It put 65 miles on the car and used up about 20% of the tread on the front tires. According to the service manual after each flush you need to drive in figure 8s then drive for 20 miles, drain refill and do it all over again.

Is there anything special about the ZL1 rear end from a SS?

Yes. "a larger, stronger 9.9-inch cast iron differential housing, stronger axles and heavy-duty limited-slip differential"
