HI, I am a little confused. Did you get this oil report to see how your engine is doing with 41K or how the oil is holding up after only 2500 miles. I think we all know how the oil should and would be after only 2500 miles, perfect.

Also sense I can't get an extended warranty from Dennis here in florida now having the heads looked at is my other option.I thought this may be one way to see how the engine was doing at 41k

I bought our current Corvette from an out-of-state dealer and wanted to give something to our local Chevy place, so I offered to buy my GMPP from them if they gave me a good price. They whined a little, but matched Dennis' price.

Normally, I'd say "just buy from Dennis", but sometimes it isn't practical.
