DIY: Changing the oil in a base C6 rear axle / differential

If you are experiencing the common differential chatter noise on turns when cold (rubbing,

scraping, clunking, grinding or chatter sound), changing the differential lubricant will rid the

noise instantly, at least after doing a few figure 8's with the new lubricant in place.

For some, a simple differential lube change has proven to be the cure for many thousands of

miles, and for others, it has only helped for just a few thousand miles. If you prefer to avoid the

dealership and wish to take immediate action, change your differential fluid and you will get rid

of the chatter noise for likely up to a few thousand miles minimum if not much more. It's a

good first step in any case.

Overall, changing the oil in a base C6 rear axle / differential is very easy. If it’s your first time,

this DIY article will at least give you an idea of what to expect.

This refers to base C6s only. Z06s have differential coolers (base C6's do not) and require a bit

more effort. Z06s and export vehicles have different axle oil capacities than the base C6 as

well.

First, run the car a while to get the axle oil warm. I ran my car about 40 miles. When I got

back, the axle case was quite hot to the touch. 20 minutes after shutting off the engine, the

mufflers were finally cool but the axle case was still hot. With this in mind, it is a good idea to

wait about a half hour after shutting off the engine until the exhaust system cools down so you

do not severely burn yourself… the axle and axle oil will still be very warm for good drainage.

You’ll need to get the car up off the ground a bit as in photos, but keep car LEVEL. First choice

would be to use a real lift. Second choice, back the car up on Race Ramps and then jack the

front end in order to level the car. Last choice (most laborious), jack the car from both front

and rear.

Since you need to access the rear axle from the rear, you cannot block the rear with a jack. I

had initially tried to use my 4-point jack system, but was not able to access the axle plugs with

the rear jack and cross member adapter in the way. I had to add stands under the rear puck

locations and then remove the rear jack and cross member adapter. I then added two extra

screw jacks under the rear “preferred” jacking locations for extra support and safety. This
