C6 Corvette Differential Fluid Change | The 05 C6 Corvette is Special for This Reason...

[@rafaeloliva8328]

I called the creativity. Thank you for the tip. Mine is an 06 so it’s a little different but it’s nice to know so you can share it with someone thank you and God bless.

[@DrewDiskin]

She runs like a dream, Scott! Silky smooth through the S-turns in our hilly neighborhood... Feels like new! Now I can attend our @Cars4Cause events with ease. Thank you! 🤟😎... This is definitely the #Corvette channel for me!

[@Team512]

Love it! Glad we could get your C6 running silky smooth.

[@YellowVette04]

I've had the gear oil sitting in my car for 2+ months... think it's time for me to stop being lazy lol. Good job as always. Drew should be good to keep ripping and we know he won't disappoint lol.

[@Team512]

Thanks man. Get after it!

[@greglehr744]

Great job explaining the troubleshooting to get the plug out!

[@Team512]

Thanks man! A seemingly simple job proves difficult sometimes.

[@johnglynn7795]

Hello Scott, not only creative with the Allen wrench, but informative as well. Best to your new channel. Blue skies, Jg

[@Team512]

Thank you!

[@bluevette2230]

Good day Scott; thank you for the informative vlog, take care and have a wonderful weekend.

[@Team512]

Thank you so much! You do the same.

Little known fact: your girlfriend will benefit from you doing this job 7:25 😂

[@d-one-and-only]

why didnt you add the additive when you replaced the oil ? On the manual there's mention of the oil and a LSD Additive...

[@jessehernandez2796]

Hey, loved the video...I'm a proud owner on a 2011 C6 Base model LT3 trim, manual transmission., I purchased it in May 2024, with 27K miles. Although my first Vette, I am however, the 3rd owner. Now the car is very clean and rides great, but I have no record of any maintenance. For starters I've done oil changes, replaced air filters replaced wipers, rotated the tires, I replaced Front rotors and brake pads, rear pads were also replaced, I've checked all fluids and so on. It now has 32K miles, should I change the differential fluid at this time. Also, the procedure you described does it apply to the 2011 C6.... Thank you for the video and look forward in hearing your thoughts.

[@timboehm8700]

Great video, learning so much! Love this channel

[@Team512]

Thanks so much for the kinds words! And thanks for watching and commenting. I truly appreciate it!

Coil over install solves the problem of getting to the drain plug.

Hi, Why does 2005 C5 daylight driving marker light passenger side not working right. After driving for about 5 minutes, it will go off and stay off till the next day. Light bulb been replaced. Thanks, Hung

[@DZRIDEZ]

As always great job Scott and very informative. 👍

[@Team512]

Thanks D!

[@anasparekh3049]

@Five12 garage, Hey Scott, hope your doing well. Saw this video and was wondering if you have sell any custom brackets or a kit to swap the 2005 c6 diffirential with a c5 z06 one. Looking to get my diff changed on my 05, worried about the case blowing up on me

[@Rico_Suave-bk8le]

Nice job man!!

[@Team512]

Thank you!

[@Debkghtulvkfjkjfxjjcj]

Great video! 2 quarts is all you’ll need though.

[@Team512]

Thanks! Yep. I like to keep one handy just in case. But you’re correct. It took about 1.9 quarts.

[@albertbalendran5513]

Hi Scott gr8 video. I know Justin replaced his C7 tranx oil at 2K miles, do you recommend that also.

[@Team512]

It’s not a bad idea. Although I haven’t done mine because I’m busy doing everyone else’s. Lol

[@albertbalendran5513]

@@Team512 I hear you, start charging a small fee or ask them to buy your merch.

[@Team512]

I probably should start charging more. Good suggestion. I have too much fun working on these cars.

[@hellomyfriend67]

Is the location any different for the 2010? I've had two places tell me they have to remove that leaf spring???

[@craigclemans966]

Cutting off a little off the other end of the Allen wrench would have worked better. You can use it again later, rather than have a stub. 😷👍

[@Team512]

Great point!

[@colemcmeans7809]

good video man, have you ever had a brake bleeder leak out of the hole its more of a weep but i dont like it.

[@Team512]

No I haven’t. But leaky holes are no bueno.

[@colemcmeans7809]

@@Team512 i need to get in there and have a look still. hopefully nothing is damaged.

[@cablelag]

No slip lock additive? If you reverse and hear clunking. It's just the clutch packs. Change your diff oil. (these cars are gettin 20 years old, change all fluids) Also Once the differential fluid has been changed, the vehicle must be driven in 8-10 tight figure eight maneuvers to heat the fluid and allow the fluid to be worked into the clutch plates.

[@SeanChristian-c5x]

You transpose the dextron fluid part number when you say it. The last two numbers are 34 not 43.

[@xavierruiz7725]

I went to my local dealer and was told diff takes only 1.4 qts. Even printed a paper with my specs. I drive a c6 2005 manual z51

[@NomaDerek]

Hey Scott so I’m basically down to making my final decision on the corbeau racing seats for my 04 C5. But I was just curious for the C5 did you need any harness or anything to prevent having any lights show on the dash due to the electronics in the original seats after installing the corbeau’s. Just curious and I hope that makes sense. Thanks

[@Team512]

I did not need any type of harness to prevent lights on the dash. I have a ‘99. I’m pretty sure this holds true for all C5’s.

[@NomaDerek]

Awesome! That’s what I was hoping to hear! Next pay check I’ll be getting my corbeaus!!! Wooohoooo!

[@Team512]

@@NomaDerek You'll love them! Great seats.

[@roygordon4946]

is it true that on a rear diff fluid change on c6 do you have to run it in second gear for a min before you do the figure 8s

[@rogerw.92]

Thank you!!!

[@89imp03]

Of all the spots they could've put the drain plug lol that was what got approved

[@Team512]

Seriously! But I out smarted the GM engineers. 😂

[@S.G.37]

I just did this on my 06 C6 and it was a straight shot to the drain plug with my ratchet and allen head socket. They must have moved it. My issue was getting to the FILL PLUG! My exhaust was in the way, so the same trick of cutting the allen wrench to make a stubby worked like a charm!

[@robertgossas3711]

If you dont want the hazzle to open the drain plug you use a oilchange pump and suck it through the fill hole. just make sure that the hose is at the bottom of the "pan". peace Corvette lovers :)

[@petercarey6883]

This question is directed specifically toward the drain plug, but let's ask it for both the drain and fill plugs? Would you ever use never-seize on them? While you were working on the "gorilla tightened" drain plug, I kept wondering, boy, what would I do if I stripped/rounded off the hex key indent?😱 Yeah, then it goes to, I guess I'm dropping the leaf spring to drill that sucker out.😢 I would NOT be a happy camper. But first I need a beer, or three.😉 Save the Wave🙋🏼‍♂️

[@Team512]

Good question PC. My approach is to properly torque the drain plugs so that anti-seize is not needed. But, the video would have been much more entertaining if I had to drill that plug out...

[@petercarey6883]

Entertaining?🤔 In your garage, absolutely!🤣 In my garage, more like a Royal PITA!😠

[@panzerwaffen2873]

So 2 quarters is what it takes

[@dennisz494]

I would never support the GM brand after owning a C6 corvette. The engineering on this car is pathetic! The split gas tanks needing to remove the transmission and exhaust just to change or fix a leaking fuel pump. Every little thing I do on this car is a quagmire and leads to having to remove and or replace ten other things. I had to remove the water pump and everything else in front of the engine just to get to the Camshaft sensor and needed to create my own puller to pul it out as it was stuck in there and took great force to remove it. It is ridiculous how pathetic the engineers at GM are. They are the kid in kindergatrten who was hellbent on trying to stick the square block in the round hole. I wish there was a site where we could tell all the different engineers as well as marketers who package everything to make it a big job to open a damn package. i would just love to inform them all of how much I can't stand them or their profession as they are complete idiots who just can't stop trying to reinvent the wheel because they are too stupid to be innovative and do anything right.

[@HorsePowerObsessed]

That's at least the 2nd differential fluid change that lift has seen... I can still smell it.... 🤮

[@Team512]

Ooh that smell! I actually think the fluid in the Z smelled worse for some reason.

[@wessmith1449]

Just buy the proper tools to do the job with

[@rickcrain8685]

Please send me the information where I can find it because I haven't been able to. Thanks in advance!
