Default Z52 designation

The build sheet on my premier edition 2014 reads "Z52". This car is a Z51..... So, what's the Z52 about?

Didn't the premiere editions have wheels different from the Z51?
That could be the reason

Correct. That's what I remember. Also if you recall C6 GS manual was Z52. The auto versions did not have dry sump...

From the official order guide:http://www.gmfleetorderguide.com/NAS...page=6&butID=3

Z52 Dry sump oil system

It's considered a Ref. Only RPO Code which means it's tied to a free flowing RPO code which is the part you order.

Thanks.... Yes, this car does have the dry sump oiler system. It is an automatic. And yes, the chrome torque wheels are different.
