The engine oil dipstick handle is a yellow loop.

The dipstick is located on the dry sump engine oil tank.

See Engine Compartment Overview on page 5-12

for the location of the dry sump engine oil tank.

Z06 models are equipped with a racetrack-ready dry

sump engine lubrication system. This high-performance

system operates differently than a standard engine

lubrication system and requires a special procedure

when checking the engine oil level. Follow this

procedure closely when checking the engine oil level.

The engine oil level must be checked when the engine is

warm. Cold oil level in the dry sump tank may not

indicate the actual amount of oil in the system. With this

system, engine oil is contained in an external tank,

separate from the engine. Under normal operating

conditions, the oil pan under the engine does not store

any oil. If the vehicle has been parked for an extended

period without the engine being started, some oil will

seep back into the oil pan, reducing the amount

of oil held in the dry sump tank and there could be no

engine oil at all showing on the dipstick. This is

normal since the dipstick is designed to read engine oil

level only after the engine has run long enough to

reach normal operating temperature. Do not add engine

oil based on cold engine dipstick readings. The engine

oil level on the dipstick will also be inaccurate if checked

while the engine is running.

1. To obtain an accurate engine oil level reading,

warm up the engine to at least 175°F (80°C).

2. Turn off the engine and wait at least ﬁve minutes

before removing the dipstick from the dry sump

engine oil tank.

3. Pull out the dipstick and clean it with a lint-free

paper towel or a cloth, then push it back in all

the way. Remove it again, keeping the tip down.
