Default Blackwing Oil

Another Blackwing question. I assume the new Blackwing I received comes pre-oiled. Am I correct in assuming that?

I installed my Blackwing yesterday, after calling West Coast Corvettes about the (lack of filter oil) in the packaging. The installer I spoke with said the filter is pre-oiled & ready to install.

This was worth the money & little effort to install. Don't expect any noise changes or explosive acceleration differences. It's a simple, quick upgrade that you can feel in the seat. Good luck- :cheers:

Jim,

Don't have yellow plates anymore. Here is the Torch's plate. Imagine that. Had a C3 come up along side me last night while cruising around and the guy said he really liked our vanity plate. Mrs. Torch came up with it.

Got mine from the forum mall but you can pick up a K&N oiling kit at your local parts store. :cheers:
