Hi all

The first Cruse of the year The Greater New Orleans Corvette Club Valentine Cruse 02/28/10 is coming up quick
Thanks In advance
PS This is a you'll COME Cruse if in the area Metro New Orleans come join us
I have a couple of Questions
1. What size is the Allen plug drain for the differential ?
" The fill plug and the drain are different sizes"
The Fill is 3/8 Allen
2. Is there any thing I am missing ?
I Have completed the following
1. oil & filter 0 w 30 Amsoil
2. Coolant Change Dexcool
3. Brake Fluid Amsoil Dot .3
4. Clutch Fluid Amsoil Dot .4
5. Transmission Amsoil ATF Dextron III
6. Power Steering Amsoil Synthetic Power Steering Fluid
7. New Battery Just Happen too DIE
Still need To Do
1. Rear End Oil
2. Fuel Filter
3. Check/Change Air Filters
4. Check / Change Belts
OIL Analysis REPORT Below was on Mobil !
UNIT ID: 05 CORVETTE
EQUIP. MAKE/MODEL: GM LS-2 6.0L V-8
Gasoline Engine Oil
FUEL TYPE: Gasoline (Unleaded)
OIL USE INTERVAL:
6,257 Miles
MICHAEL: Copper was the only element out of line in this sample and
even at 195 ppm, it's not high enough to suspect a problem is
developing. GM V-8 tend to leave a lot of copper in the oil until the
get to 30,000-40,000 miles, so as long as this reads lower in future
samples, it's not a concern. All other wear looks normal. Universal
averages show typical wear levels for this type of engine after about
4700 miles on the oil. The viscosity was in the 5W/30 range and no
fuel dilution or anti-freeze was present. Try running the next oil up to
7,500 miles or 18 months.
