Z06 Features

Checking Engine Oil

Z06 models are equipped with a high

performance dry sump engine lubrica-

tion system. This system operates differ-

ently than a standard engine lubrication

system.

You should only check your oil level

after the engine has been thoroughly

warmed up and then shut off for at least

five minutes. This ensures that the oil

level reading obtained will be accurate.

Z06 models also require a special pro-

cedure for changing the engine oil and

filter; refer to your Owner Manual.

Jump Starting the Battery

The battery of your Z06 is located in the

rear of the vehicle. You do not need

access to the battery for jump starting.

There are remote positive (+) and nega-

tive (–) terminals located under the hood

for this purpose. Refer to your Owner

Manual for the locations of the terminals.

See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.

Note: Do not read the oil level after

extended periods of vehicle inactivity,

as the level indicated will not be accu-

rate and may falsely indicate a low level

condition. Any oil added due to this

method of reading may cause the

engine to be over-filled and can lead to

engine damage.

Note: Improper jump starting could

result in costly damage to your vehicle

that would not be covered by your war-

ranty. Be sure to follow all of the steps

in your Owner Manual to safely and

properly jump start your vehicle.
