2013 ZL1 to-do list - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I purchased a 2013 ZL1 with approximately 13,000 miles on it last month. Got history on the two owners but not detailed service history.

Oil life says 48% remaining. What should I be proactive with and get done from a fluid/service perspective on a 7 year old ZL1 with 13,000 miles? Any advice or feedback would be appreciated. At minimum I was thinking oil and transmission oil change. It has new rubber on it.

I freakin’ love this machine! Was going back and forth between the ZL1 and a Lexus RC-F and I’m so glad I went with the Z. It’s exactly what I wanted.

I would flush all fluids. Oil change, transmission flush, coolant flush, and change the rear end fluid.

I would include a brake flush/bleed and inspection since it may have set for an extended time.

If it flows, change it.

Certainly picked the right color.

Change the oil for sure. You don't know what someone was putting in there. The rest you can at least assume is standard from the factory but it's all worth checking on. After that, let's change some pulleys and make some power. We can help.
