Additional Notes

  • The Chevrolet Corvette C5 5.7 V8 (1997-2004) carries a manual transmission fluid capacity of 3.8 liters, a figure that reflects a full service fill for the unit.
  • The Corvette Z06 (2001-2004) shares the same 3.8-liter manual transmission fluid capacity as the standard 5.7 V8 configuration from the same generation.
  • The Corvette 5.7 V8 Grand Sport, produced only in 1996, has a notably smaller manual transmission fluid capacity of 2.1 liters, which is a significant departure from the 3.8-liter figure associated with later C5 configurations.
  • The 2.1-liter capacity of the Grand Sport's manual transmission is paired with a check interval of every 6 months under normal use conditions, making the interval time-based rather than mileage-based.
  • The difference in capacity between the 1996 Grand Sport at 2.1 liters and the 1997-2004 5.7 V8 at 3.8 liters corresponds to a change in the transmission unit used across those model years.
