Re: Request for Information???? (riderosa)
I have 2 questions about my Z06:
1. What is the best Oil Filter to use?
2. What size socket for wheel lugs as well as torque?

As for the filter, I prefer Mobil 1 oil filters for their superior filtering capabilities but they are a little pricey (around $10). Nothing compared to the price of the car though and I think you should buy the best filter you can as it is the only thing preventing particles in the oil from wearing out your engine over time.
Hope this helps! :cheers:

19 mm and 100 ft/lbs... no better way to be consistant with our standards of measure than to go and do something like that. I wish the United States would use on or another... anything but both.

Suggest a deep-well socket for the lugnuts. An 18 inch breaker bar make removing the lugnuts really easy.
As for the torque setting, a good approach is a three step tightning sequence 40, 70, 100; applied in a star pattern.
