Default ZO6 oil problem 2001

I'm buying a 2001 ZO6 with 6300 miles on it is there any Vin # that will let me know if there is a oil problem with the rings.

Only a very few had the problem. The problem is solved by running conventional oil for about 5 - 8,000 miles while the rings set then switching back to synthetic.

It was an issue for ALL Corvettes, not just the Z06.
