Read the entire instruction manual before beginning installation. Some stock parts will
be used in reassembly.
This high capacity oil tank installation is specifically designed for the 2006-2008 Z06
Corvette. The 2009-2010 Z06 and ZR1 Corvette are already equipped with a high
capacity tank of similar volume.
Under prolonged high cornering loads such as those found on a banked race track with a
vehicle with racing slicks, some customers have reported low oil pressure on the 2006-
2008 Z06 Corvettes. The Lingenfelter Performance Engineering modified oil tank design
was developed to eliminate this problem. Designed to fit in the stock dry sump oil tank
location with no modifications to the vehicle, the Lingenfelter modified tank increases
system capacity by roughly 3 quarts, taking total capacity from 8 quarts to 11 quarts and
increasing the capacity of the tank alone from 6 quarts to 9 quarts (a 50% increase).
The added oil volume will also help reduce high oil temperature spikes under certain road
racing conditions by increasing the amount of fluid in circulation and the amount of time
it takes to heat up that fluid.
The factory oil dipstick will still function correctly and the same indicator mark is used to
indicate the new “full” oil level.
Included with the modified oil tank are new seals for the oil lines as these should be
replaced every time the lines are disconnected.
When referencing the side of the vehicle, the driver side of the vehicle is considered the
left side and the passenger side of the vehicle is considered the right side of the vehicle.
GM sells the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) lower oil tank as a part of the entire
oil tank assembly. Due to the lack of availability of just the OEM lower oil tanks from
GM, Lingenfelter Perfomance Engineering (LPE) requires the core out of your vehicle
in exchange for the modified lower oil tank. After recieving the LPE modified lower oil
tank, thoroughly clean the stock lower oil tank and send it back to LPE for a core charge
refund.
1. Open the hood of the vehicle. If you have
