Does 02 Z06 need extra qt of oil for track day?
It was recommended for my TA for track days, but can't find anything here. I am assuming not seeing it has 7 qts already. TIA.

Yes the owners manual states to overfill by 1 qt. The oem fill is 6.5 quarts w/ new filter. I always add 7 as that gets me to the full mark. So.... I only add 1/2 quart on track.

I put in an extra 3/4 quart today before tracking it at Thunderhill (04 zo6). After a few rounds I opened the hood and had oil all over the air intake area of the engine bay. I guess I need a catch can because I had oil inside my Halltech air filter too. Once I got it all cleaned up I was back on the track for the rest of the day with no problems.
