If GM has a recall to replace the rings on our Zs...will you have them fix it?? Or will you just keep adding oil??
I thought about this one long and hard, I'd really hate to have them crack into the engine. But I think I would let them fix it. Tough decision!! I would definitely remove my painted fuel rail covers myself!!
Now it would be kind of
if while they had it apart we could pull off a little camshaft change!!

Well Frank if they will let us put in the 2002 cam while she is apart...hummm, then maybe I would do it. Otherwise, mine is just down from max after 700 miles, so I don't really see the need at this point.
Maybe they can fix the piston slap and racket while the engine is cold also.

Should have told me I could have taken care of you, I have something real special planned for the Z06, it will make this look stock.

I'm at 2200 miles and the oil is down the width of the "oil full line" on the dip stick. I've had the car up in the RPMs several times so I haven't babied the car. In fact, the "boss" complains whenever she's in the car 'cause her head bangs against the headrest!
Just had my first oil change done today. The first one was on the house. Little did they know that the next eight will be also, because I got the sales department to throw in eight free oil changes with my deal (I also got $1,000 off MSRP). Anyway, the receipt said they used 6 quarts of oil on it. I thought that capacity was 6.5 quarts (7.5 optional) I checked my oil and sure enough, it was low.
It has never been low before. So I have a theory, could it be that the GM shop manual has a misprint? Maybe that is why so many have low oil. Or is it that the dealer short changed me because it was free? WTF?
HI FOLKS,
ABOUT THE RING CONCERN. THE CF HAS HINTED ABOUT DIFFERENT SCENARIOS THAT MAY OCCUR TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. HAS GM ACKNOWLEDGED THIS ISSUE YET?. WOULD ASK DAVE HILL GIVE US A CLUE OF WHAT MAY BE THE FIX, SHORT OF RIPPING APART THE ENGINE? ARE THERE SPECIFIC PRODUCTION DATES THAT ENCOMPASS THIS PROBLEM OR JUST RANDOM OCCURRANCES. SORRY FOR BEING SO WORDY , BUT TIS IS AN IMPORTANT DISCUSSION TOPIC.

Just came back from the auto parts store with a can Mobil 1, added it an now it reads full. You can be sure that next time the dealer changes my oil, they will add 7 quarts.
Kind of makes me mad, because I went in with a full crankcase, not really needing an oil change with 1600 miles on my car, only to come out with the oil on the add line.
I sure hope they used Mobil 1.
Something to confirm next time.

Took the car to MSRH this afternoon to see just how the C7 Z07 19/20 Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2s would handle the cool winter weather.
Took a laps or 2 to get up to temp and after that they were very predictable.
But I think the larger rolling diameter of the 19/20's is throwing the Active...

I like the look of the OEM C6 guards and want to install a set on my C5-I know there are carbon fiber ones out there but they seem too large to me. I can't seem to find a vender that sells them for a C5-the only thing I have seen is people modifying the C6 versions to fit a C5. Anybody know of a...
