Required Scheduled Maintainence
Little Help!
I'm looking at buying 2008 C6 ZO6.
First, I want to know what the required scheduled maintenance is. My other car is 92 Mits. 3000GT VR4 which has RSM every 60k. What is it for the LS7 motor?

Depending on your budget, and not exactly routine maintenance, but get the heads fixed or replaced.

Thanks Keppler,
Mileage is 87000.
I know everyone says replace the heads. But I don't hear any valve train noise, so I'm thinking at this point the problem would have already surfaced.
Good point on the fluids.

There's the obvious scheduled maintenance and checking the heads on an LS7....
I'd add that I just bought a pretty heavily modified 2008 and for my own peace of mind I brought it to a local speed shop that does a lot of work with Corvettes and I had them change all the fluids and let me know if anything looked burnt or full of glitter... that peace of mind at least let me start out knowing when everything had been changed.
