Just bought one no owners manual. What kind of oil and filter does it take. Does anyone have a owners manual. This car is all new to me only has 18k. Thanks for any help. Joe

What you need is the two volume GM factory service manual for that year. Available on Ebay. You've got lots to learn about if you want to work on the car yourself.

You'll probably get a better answer posting in the ZR-1 section:

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c4-zr-1-discussion-50/

ME, I'd use Mobil 1 - I think it's supposed to use 10w30, but don't go my that. I'm sure the ZR-1 guys will have a good and quick answer for you.

Also, take a look here: http://www.zr1netregistry.com/
I'm betting the answer is there.

Mobil 1 synthetic 5W-30 is what I use in my LT5. The engine will hold 9 quarts.
