Biscuit.fr · 02-24-2019, 08:00 PM

Any idea?
Coolant ok (I've got the extra reservoir from ADM)
but Oil?
where?
How much?

I try to remove some with my catch can
But this one seems to be useful ....

Thanks for your words

It says LSA not LT4 first off. Though it says it fits the 2017 Camaro at the top is strange.

The LSA was for the last gen ZL1 and CTSV. The LT4 is what you're looking for as that is our engine.

Im not certain about the oil for this. I guess I need to look myself.

Yes
I’m perplex and confused...
Don’t see any oil in our LT4...

You do need this oil.

Those units are sealed and unless you have a failure they are generally good for the life of the supercharger under normal operation and you know some WOT occassionally

I was looking around and saw on the Z06 forum that it was said to have the oil changed every 100k miles. But it has to be done at a dealer since this is all on a closed system that the dealer or someone specifically trained on that has the equipment.

Am I wrong?

Biscuit.fr · 02-25-2019, 07:06 PM

Yes
You’re wrong about the dealers!!!
They are trained for nothing
If you don’t need anything just ask them...

No way I’m going to give them the ZL1 for maintenance,
And especially for high stuff like A10 or supercharger

Vigilante375 · 02-26-2019, 10:28 AM

Alrighty then. Enjoy.

Remarks just for the dealer,
Thank you for your numbers and words from Corvette forums
Sure you’re right about that oil change

I agree with Biscuit, gave my ZL1 1LE to a big dealer in LA and I'm lucky they didn't do fatal damage to my car. Do your research on specific dealers (reviews) before going to one. I was amazed they could be so bad at things so simple.

^^^This^^^ I do my own maintenance now. My local dealer has no clue what they are doing. I've even shown them TSBs from Chevy and they just argue with me. I had the wheel ticking issue and the service manager just argued with me about it and in a raised voice said "what am I supposed to do, just start changing parts." I replied calmly "No. Just remove the wheel and clean the hubs like the TSB says." I have a jack and jack stands at home, but it is much faster with a lift...whatever.

The only time my ZL1 went to visit them was for the first free oil change...
Hopefully after talking they let me look at the process in the back
-just had time to retain the door before the guy ruined it on the lift deck pylon,
-wanted to put some ???? Whatever oil they had in a common tank
Stopped them on time and gave them my 10qts of Mobil 1 performance I came with in the trunk (what a free oil change...)
(Didn’t know it was 10qts and was about to put 8...)
-showed them the TSB to torque the front sway bar
(Didn’t know anything about it...)

....

Wow
That was scaring
And they are supposed to be pro...

I do all the maintenance by myself now
Including the TSB

Forgot his dirty hands on the suede steering with no protection
!!!!!!!!!!

Do you know the torque for that sway bar off the top of your head?

Need to check mine in the spring.

I don’t trust my dealer either by the way. Even though they are a huge corvette selling dealer and all the old timer/car guys bring their corvettes there.

Unfortunate that so many have very poor dealership experiences, no matter the brand.

I personally oversee as many of the Camaro/Corvette/CTS-V/etc. clientele that I can. Our techs are careful and trained. Our service department is equipped with in-ground super low profile lifts, proper lifting tools for various performance vehicles, and lots of oversight. We even have a service writer specifically for performance customers that is very knowledgeable about all LS/LT vehicles and will take great care of it. Oh, and plastic covers for the seat/steering wheel and paper floor mats are all standard. Our parts manager is actually a car guy and is knowledgable on oils, wheels, tires, etc. that pertain to performance vehicles. Our service manager is top notch. No wash is standard to protect customers investment. There is no revving/joyrides/or any other form of abuse tolerated whatsoever.

On the other hand, there are dealerships that are the complete opposite and it's a shame.
