Purchased a '93 Corvette Saturday and drove her home from
Milwaukee to Detroit. Ran sweet.
Fluids checked by dealer supposedly before sale.
I get home and check the oil next day and it's a fair
amount over max so I check around and see that the
LT1 engine takes 5 quarts with filter.
Checking thru paper receipts given by seller I see several
oil change bills from a Chevy dealer who put in
6 quarts every time (Mobil 1) the oil was changed.
Does the chevy dealer know somthing I don't?
Or were the idiots at the dealership thinking
all vette's were LS1's which do take 6 qts.
I have a feeling this car has been overfilled for a couple
years (3k/year).
What problems should I look for/expect from this?
I changed immediately to 5 qts Amsoil HDD S3K
5W-30 and a EaO filter. Dipstick reads full.
I can't believe the incompetancy of the dealership
in WI making such a dumb, boner mistake EVERY
time the car was taken in for service.
Kinda removes all faith in dealers.
Thanks for listening,
Craig
