[QUOTE="wilyvet, post: 80817, member: 2349"] From reading forum accounts of Z06 owners dealing with GM dealers, I was almost prepared for the service writer's claims that I was wrong in requesting Mobil 1 15/50 for the 800 km oil change - in view of intended track use. "We can't do that." "We don't have Mobil 1 15/50." Telling him that GM bulletins specified synthetic 15/50 (a week before bringing the car for its 800 km service, then again on presenting the car) did no good. Begging him to go online or into his product bulletins did no good. Standing there in front of him, with customers queuing and staring, finally persuaded him that I was not leaving until he looked it up. For Z06 owners who wish to save some time in the dealership service dept.: "Document ID: 3686604; Track Events and Competitive Driving; Caution: Not changing the engine oil to 15/50 may cause engine damage. Engine oil must be changed to 15/50 synthetic. " You might also bring, as I did, 10 liters of Mobil 1 15/50 - to give to the service salesman when he tells you no such product exists. Specifying what I wanted in the way of wheel alignment (camber, caster, toe) became much easier after the service writer read the above-noted GM bulletin (which also includes track specs. much different from street specs.).
