After conversion to the high performance brake fluid, follow the brake fluid service recommendations outlined by the fluid manufacturer. Do not use silicone or DOT-5 brake fluids. If the vehicle is a Z06, ZR1, or Grand Sport model, it has greaseable outer ends on both of the rear toe-links. Under normal use, lubrication should be performed as described in the maintenance schedule. See Scheduled Maintenance on page 7-3 and Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 7-9. If using the vehicle for racing, lubrication should be performed at the end of each racing day. See your dealer/retailer for lubrication and make sure any needed repairs are made at once. Proper procedures for performing these services can be found in the service manual. See Service Publications Ordering Information on page 8-17. If the vehicle is used for racing or other competitive driving, the rear axle fluid temperatures may be higher than would occur in normal driving. We recommend that the rear axle fluid be drained and refilled with new fluid after every 24 hours of racing or competitive driving. See Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 7-9 for what fluid to use. ZR1 Brake Burnish Procedure Notice: These procedures are specific to the ZR1 with ceramic brake rotors. These procedures should not be run on other Corvette models as damage may result. Notice: The new vehicle break-in period should be completed before performing the brake burnish procedure or damage may occur to the powertrain/engine. See New Vehicle Break-In on page 3-21. When performed as instructed, these procedures will not damage the brakes. During the burnishing procedure, the brake pads will smoke and produce an odor. The braking force and pedal travel may increase. After the procedure is complete, the brake pads may appear white at the rotor contact. 5-20
