[QUOTE="ddgermann, post: 122087, member: 3537"] Eric here is a perfect example of a guy with his own rituals for your own reasons. Your car is in its climate controlled Corvette/Man cave so it makes no sense to change out fresh oil in the spring to me either. While my car sits in an unheated non Corvette/ mancave garage exposed to temperature swings through the winter. I chose to change the oil in case of moisture contamination. I’ve heard lots of guys say that moisture will be flashed off in minutes and with good synthetic oil it’s not a problem or even worth worrying about. Very likely true but I’m just funny that way. Once the new oil is in I forget it. Being in the business I’m in and dealing with many warranty claims in massively capital costing systems. The attitude from suppliers is first find any details available to void the claim. Although I have not heard GM has denied any engine failure warranty claims on the Z06. Not sure about the Stingray and Gs. I read this somewhere recently in an article about the Z06 overheating issue. For me $200 is good piece of mind. Especially with a new car. I love this thread.
